Love is an unconditional word. "I love you" has a latent meaning that can only be spoken to the right person at the right time. In his book 'A Lover's Discourse', Roland Barthes argues that I-love-you is a socially irresponsible word. Love and "I love you" can both contain good and bad semantics. It may signify transcendence or insignificance, and tenderness or lust. Therefore, love is something that stands outside the language. The accurate concept of love can never be understood. I am still searching for what lies beyond the word "I love you". I believe what is defined above is not satisfying enough but for the time being, my judgement remains the same. Love is, torn between action and statement.

I was grateful, and I still am, for those times I spent with him, I learned a lot about people, about life. He often said to me that life is like a wheel, it has its ups and downs. In whatever I do, he told me to be patient and not to give up. He taught me the variety colors of people, and when to give and take. He taught me how to laugh, how to feel happy and how to feel sad.
THE END. |
