What is love?

We all have thought about meaning of the term love and we have perhaps read love poems or love novels. We all love to think of Romeo and Juliet story that make us think about love. Then there are the terms of Time and Space that are beyond our imagination. The combination of all three terms is that we use them in a sentence and try to understand the concept that way. The terms become clearer when we say “There was a time that I fell in love” and also say “That a time came that I fell out of love.” Or how we would convey our emotions to someone else? We would use the term space in a sentence to explain our visceral turmoil and say “I cannot bear it any more,” etc. Here we describe the concept of space to reveal out thoughts and feelings toward someone or even something. How would I bring all this together? Or what is the remedy for all this. We could sing a song or listen to a bird or as the hapless one try to see the revered one. Even once we the revered one, the emotions coming from us cannot fit any physical realm of space. I am certain we can find solace once again in the arms of the loved one. Is this good enough for something we long for—Not at all. The only thing we find peace is the words of the Persian poet Hafiz. Hafiz describes “Love kicks the ass of time and space.”
Would Hafez’s pearls satisfy our emotions all the way? Then again we might seek the truth in everything else but in the Zeilen of a poem? We might try then Rainer M. Rilke. He describes love or passion with a metaphor comparing it with a rose. He longs for the rose, but the rose is so beautiful and fragile that he does not want to touch it. What a dilemma? It is a matter and anti-matter. The concept of the rose is beyond the space and time; it illuminates every corner of space in the heart. But there comes the time that he must touch the rose and thus destroy the space in the heart which seemed to be eternal. Maybe Hafizi’s reign ends here and Rilke start roaming in the space of thought.
Then we ask ourselves what we are going to do now? How shall we go on? At this point we seek the “truth” in Socratic wisdom because we got old and wisdom reigns. We do not want to be responsible and feel the burden of love; we would like to be solitaire and retreat to our own corner. His friends asked Socrates about the merit of being aged. He reply is “I am relieved of the burden of love.” After this point we all seek only one truth—love for the dust (earth) that eventually will satisfy Love, Time and Space of which we know.
