I love you

Nietzsche, before confronting mankind with the heaviest demand put on it, said- ".....it seems to me indispensable to say WHO I AM".

Such is the importance of your individual self.

Once a teacher asked his students in a casual gathering-"Who do you love the most?"

Most students were caught off guard, for it is the kind of question one least expects when you are pursuing engineering, and so very few answered.

But only one student answered with what the teacher looked for, "I love myself the most".

Does it has the most unromantic ring to it?

Perhaps saying that you love your mother, or your father, or your siblings, or your best-friend the most sounds more romantic.

Maybe the most romantic sound is in when you say you love your girl-friend/boy-friend or your spouse the most.

WHY?

Because it is fashionable. Loving yourself most is not so. And that which is fashionable is easy to be flaunted around.

And damn, don't you just love flaunting your pretty girlfriend and boyfriend! The mediocrity is in the act of flaunting it around so much with the desperate hope that it would give you the sense of belonging in what has become today's status quo. A dire plea for endorsement, that you belong, from the world that looks you through the frames and windows of the digital society. Such is today's version of self-pity.

My friend Neeraj said, "Love is a cheap word".

This love that has become an object displayed in your digital pedestals best as a fashion statement, has indeed rendered your preciously framed idea of love cheap.

You first belong to yourself. Here I quote Alice In Chains-

"If I can't be my own, I'd feel better dead".

Know who you are, and fall in love with yourself first. If you don't know yourself best, no one ever will. And if you can't even know your own self, it is foolish to even hope that you'd ever come close to knowing anyone else.

My friend Paul said, "God is nothing but the most complex level of consciousness".

Go celebrate your intelligence, your creativity, your empathy, your energy, by bringing it to practice. You are the push that makes the world move. Be your best self. Be a God.

No one can give that to you, but you.

NO ONE CAN TAKE THAT AWAY FROM YOU, BUT YOU.

All the boundaries are in your head. And when you say someone, "I LOVE YOU", let it be without any boundary too.

"All boundaries are conventions, waiting to be transcended. One may transcend any convention, if only one can first conceive of doing so. Moments like this, I can feel your heart beating as clearly as I feel my own, and I know that separation is an illusion."

Set the highest moral sanction, you can conceive of, on yourself. Transcend all boundaries.

And you keep asking me a question my friend Mandi asked first - "Migom, don't you feel anything?"

Here is my same old answer- "I feel transcended".

And my answer to one beautiful lady, 'I love you'.
