It is all
about love transmitted to the familiar ones, near and dear but not
reciprocated; abundant love thrown out but met with a casual indifference. Time
heals all the sorrows and the emotional turmoil resulting from the separation
will slowly subside.
I can
understand how people suffer by loving blindly and possessively and virtually
taking a ride without realizing the ramifications on the other
side. Whatever may be the cause or circumstances the crude reality is pain of
love lasts more than the pleasure that it yielded once. It is very difficult to
explain the pain and describe the situation.
Will time wipe away all the
pleasant feelings and finer sentiments? What seemed to be real at one point of
time can hardly become illusion in the
present? Even if there is residual one can cling and live with some hope that
everything is not lost.
Mirza Ghalib
captures this existential dilemma of those whose only fault is jut loving and
loving only without any expectation. He says :
Oh! The
incredible sadness that is so intertwined with unrequited love. With the
deepest sigh in your heart for the person you love is met with a casual
nonchalance…..it is just so unbearable.How does one describe it?
