"You know when I said I knew little about love. Well, that wasn't true.I know a lot about love. I've seen it. I've seen centuries and centuries of it. And it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable.All those wars, pains and lies, hate made me want to turn away and never look down again.But to see the way the mankind loves- I mean, you could search to the farthest reach of the universe and never find anything more beautiful.So, yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected,uncontrollable, unbearable, and well, strangely easy to mistake for loathing"

-( word of Yvaine to Tristan in Stardust)

Love is often mistaken to have only one type of meaning - love between a man and a woman. But I think that  this pretty little thing called love needs to be understood by us in a better fashion. The word love is not confined to the fascinating feelings between a married couple or so- it can even imply love between friends, a mother's love or father's love towards the offsprings, a teacher's love, etc,.

In fact, man can't just survive on earth without love. Do you know why people tend to commit suicides? It is because they feel that there is no one in the world to love them. People who survived a suicide attempt may tell you many other reasons, but this truth will be still hidden in the deepest parts of their minds 

I often get a feeling of emptiness in my mind- but once I remember my dear ones, I can tackle all the desperate emotions with lesser effort. Everyone in the world has problems. To err is human. Similarly, to find someone to just share your feelings is also human. The other person could be your wife/husband, your parents, your friends or your colleagues or sometimes, you will find yourself feel better while talking to a stranger ( strange, isn't it?). 

The biggest sign of love is the acceptance you get from the other person, his/her willingness to listen to your words. Being an introvert will only gain you physical and mental problems. So, start sharing your thoughts with someone. 

The biggest way to attain love is to be a good listener and show wilingness to accept others as they are. Criticisms can help your loved ones( or persons you know) improve their personaloty, but an overdose of criticisms can have an adverse effect also. So, be polite enough not to criticize in a rude manner
