It was the autumn<\/em><\/span>\u00a0of\u00a01664<\/em><\/span>, when the\u00a0Black Plague<\/em><\/span>\u00a0shackled the world…and the world got its first taste of\u00a0quarantine<\/em><\/span>…<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
A young man, obsessed with mathematics, motion and light…<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Goes back home to his illiterate mother’s orchard…<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Where he watched an\u00a0apple<\/em><\/span>\u00a0fall…<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Religions<\/em><\/span> have called it grace<\/em><\/span>….Science<\/em><\/span>, with the young Newton<\/em><\/span> at it’s helm, defined it as gravity<\/em><\/span>.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
That said,\u00a0gravitation<\/em><\/span>\u00a0alone cannot be held responsible for people falling in\u00a0love<\/em><\/span>…<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Love<\/em><\/span>\u00a0is\u00a0blind<\/em><\/span>…<\/span>love is\u00a0a<\/span>\u00a0bl<\/span>ind<\/em><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Love<\/em><\/span>\u00a0is in the\u00a0air<\/em><\/span>…little wonder we can’t seem to\u00a0find<\/span>\u00a0<\/em>it on\u00a0earth<\/em><\/span>…<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Love<\/em><\/span>\u00a0has no\u00a0language<\/em><\/span>…probably the reason\u00a0why we don’t\u00a0speak<\/em><\/span>\u00a0it well…<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Our\u00a0memory<\/em><\/span>is short…hence we celebrate love\u00a0just one day<\/em><\/span>\u00a0in a year…Valiantly<\/em><\/span>.<\/b>..<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
And\u00a0forget<\/em><\/span>\u00a0about it, the other\u00a0364 days<\/em><\/span>…<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
In our\u00a0Republic of Not Enough<\/em><\/span>, we rant about\u00a0giving more<\/em><\/span>\u00a0of\u00a0love<\/em><\/span>…than we\u00a0receive<\/em><\/span>…<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Love<\/em><\/span> is priceless…though the price of love could be loss<\/em><\/span>…<\/div>\n
Love<\/em><\/span>\u00a0is\u00a0not<\/span>\u00a0a four letter word; if yes, treat it like\u00a0hope,\u00a0care,\u00a0give,\u00a0kind<\/em><\/span>…<\/span><\/div>\n
In\u00a0our<\/span>\u00a0selfie<\/em><\/span>\u00a0obsessed world,\u00a0love\u00a0<\/em><\/span>is\u00a0the\u00a0act of\u00a0unselfing<\/em><\/span>…<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The word love<\/em><\/span> is most often used as a noun<\/em><\/span>…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We would all love better, if the word love is used as verb<\/em><\/span>, rather than a noun<\/span><\/em>…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
So, when you think of\u00a0love<\/b>, don’t see\u00a0red<\/em><\/span>…<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Alongside\u00a0music<\/span>,\u00a0love<\/span><\/em><\/span>\u00a0may be our best way of saying\u00a0yes to life<\/em><\/span>, and to our\u00a0lovely\u00a0<\/span>life\u00a0together<\/em><\/span><\/b>…<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
Happy 365 Days\u00a0Of Love<\/em><\/span>. And, by the way,\u00a0Happy Valentine’s Day<\/span><\/em><\/span>\u00a0as well!<\/div>\n
