We Are All Born for Love

We are all born for love.
It is the principle of existence, and its only end. Benjamin Disraeli

Love…does it mean for you something? Of course it seems to be very strange, mysterious and unknown, but you can not deny the fact that love always arouses only pleasant emotions in people. Although, it is not so easy to clear up what love is. I am sure that everybody will say that it is a great feeling which changes people for the better and makes them very romantic and sensitive to each other. And it is not only an attraction to another person – it is a comprehension of him, a gasp of his soul and body. This is the most concise, the most compact embodiment of all human forces – physical and mental. If you are in love you should understand your partner with all the depths of your heart and mind. As French people say: "Love means to understand, to be loved- to be understood." It is love that helps a gloomy person to become a cheerful one, aggressive- very sentimental and rude- very affectionate.Anyone can see with half an eye that a person is in love.
There is no special time, reason, or circumstances for love. You can be waiting, and waiting, and waiting for love and it will come,but it will come only that every moment when you are oblivious of it.
Love is possibly the most mysterious human feeling, the most incomprehensive and enigmatic. But love can be happy and unhappy, reciprocal or vice verse; it also can be passionate, platonic and so on. And according to each type of love people have different feelings, they behave themselves differently. When we are speaking about love we often say that one of the mysteries of this feeling is a person to overstate the virtues of his love. When you are in love you you have a gift and this gift is beyond any other feelings. A loving person is able to see such depths of his lover, which are often closer for the lover himself.
Some people are so selfish that prefer better to be loved than to love. Others, no matter whether they are hypocritical, calculating or scheming, kind, honest, wish to lose their head one day and fall in love like a schoolgirl or a schoolboy. People can give even all they have to save the priceless feeling as Mrs. Rymer from Agatha Christie's "The Case of a Rich Woman" does. It is a perfect example a loving woman, "Of a woman who is not going to let money come between her and her happiness". This brave decision of a strong and remarkable woman will always support the opinion that not only "fools and their money are soon parted" but also that "only one woman a thousand acts as she is doing" in order to help her love to be strong.
Love is a hard work. The pivot on which love is hinged is a hope, mutual respect and trust, caress and kindness. There will be no harmony between two loving people if there is misunderstanding, disagreement, no sacrifice, but only a possessive, selfish and spiteful, revengeful and unscrupulous attitude to each other. We can see it from the "Incident on the Lake," written by John Collier who wants to show how mousy – kittenish relationship between the spouses can ruin their family. Mr. and Mrs. Beasley's attitude to each other which is described in this story gives the reader an idea of the true philosophy of the life maintaining that "Curses like a Chickens Come Home to Roost."
In giving definition to "love," I can say that love is the hunger for a human being the feeling of incredible psychological necessity. It can be the most ravenous hunger. The strongest necessity from the other emotional ones – and the stronger its incandescence is the more place for your lover is in your heart. Arnold Bennett describes a tender man in his story, "The Supreme Illusion". The man said, "Mademoiselle Lemonnier is the woman alone who makes his life worth loving "he did everything for her he could. She became a rich and famous actress with his help. The author wrote that she was "the odious creature," but for Octave Boissy "neither fame nor artistic achievement nor wealth had any value in his life. His life consisted in one thing only". Because standing near her "his expression had profoundly changed. He controlled hid gestures and his attitude, but he could not control his eyes". And the author "Understood what Octave Boissy mean by "living."
In other words, as F. von Schiller stated, "love and hunger keep the world going." (1795) So, LOVE can be different – there are so many reasons for that – but love always conquers all. Virginia Wolf, Alfred Edgar Coppard and John Galsworthy give us a perfect example of such kind of love in their stories "The Legacy", "The Watercress Girl", "The Apple Tree" accordingly. Maybe someone will not find anything which binds these stories together, but I'm sure that their characters are united by their fates of Mary McDowall from "The Watercress Girl" seems to be such happier because her love has an opportunity to go after all. I wish it were true because the strength of the feeling between Mary and Frank Oppidan is so great and their love is "Love that gives its only gift by giving all". Even Mary's horrid deed which spoiled the life of an innocent woman and for some time "Parted away her loveliness from Franck's recollection" could not put out her of Franck's head because he knew that, nevertheless, she "was old Mary of their passionate days, transfigured and marvelous."This is the greatest power of love – the power of forgiveness which helps "chastening distinction" to melt because lovers can suffer only for love and there is no place left in their souls for revenge or for rancor."
Love makes the world go round. It makes people be kind to each other, makes them tender and affectionate. Sometimes it makes people sacrifice their lives for a person they are in love with. For example, W. Somerset Maugham in a story "Casual Affair" narrates about a happy love, it is better to say, love which had no future. His hero was ready to do everything in the world for his love, even to leave the woman he loved for her happiness. And nevertheless his love was strong till his death.
Some people cannot understand that true love will never die. It will live spit or obstacle in its way and defeated expectancy. Lovers can be separated but their love can not be killed, because their hearts will be always together and feelings will be the same for even stronger and stronger day by day. True love will never give away. So we can see that poor Megan's love from John Galsworthy's "The Apple Tree "crept as long as it could. It tormented her very much but on the other hand it was love which made her and Franck's "heart pound like a frantic hammer" so as "every pulse was hurrying at the summons." She gave to love all it was in her to give. And in spite of Megan's death Franck's love to her had its own way and was strong even after the 25 years of life with another woman. The reason was that his love to Megan helped him "to think or nothing and to feel absurdly happy."

That is why I think that Megan's death will not change something in Franck's feelings because their love will creep in his heart although it is his fault of not having made it go.
Love is natural feeling. Even animals need to love and to be loved, at least they need affection and caress. People can not do without it either.All of us have to go through it....through this festival of all emotions: the delight of sight, touch, smell and taste which are taking part in love; all of us have to feel this intense desire to flow together – and psychically, and physically – only for one purpose: to be with your lover. Love is a great feeling. Let us always remember about it and worship it as long as we have it in our hearts.
I can say that the birth of love is the reconstruction of the whole human life, the passage into a new state. That is why – a happy love is a special human feeling and a special state of the (entire) body. As N. Nekrasov in "Green Tides" said:

"While love endures, Love tenderly.
While patience lasts
Love patiently,
While mercy calls,
Be merciful
And –may God be your judge!"
