Our First & Last Love is....Self-Love

Recently, I saw a movie 'U, Me aur Hum'. I would not go into its storyline (I would rather recommend to watch it by yourself and comment on it.) There is a scene where Ajay ( the lead actor) mentions about Self-Defense Mechanism. As he says, while in a situation where a mother and a child are drowning, there comes a time when even mother tries to reach the water level making her son's head as her tool to rescue. An interesting reflex when we keep on boasting about our Love for the other person.

We keep on saying, "I love you", "I love him", "I love ......" etc etc. But, the moment our ego is hurt by what that makes us love it/them, we suddenly remember our Self-Esteem. We live all our life in an illusion that we love some or the other. But, actually we love only what makes us happy. We love a person because we feel happy doing so. When it seems too out of the box, we dump this whole idea of 'Love'. It is more depended on our emotional dispositions.

We are so filled with the 'Self-" word that anyone comes second to Us. When we go for a competition, we forget about all relations and concentrate on Self-Presentation. If person doesn't helps us, we say he/she is Selfish. But actually, we all are selfish. People help others because they have some or the other fear. And mostly they are God-Fearing. They are scared God's wrath than the worldly aftermath. Thus, there is no one 'Not Self-ish' .

Once, while having a tete-a-tete one of my friend. He has a loving family, friends, a very caring girlfriend, but still he says, he is in a quest to find the one thing that'll lead him to the apotheosis. When we are not satisfied with so many people around us, even though caring. Why we still ponder for the pursuit of perfect pleasure?

This world and its custom is an Illusion. We require company in order to allay our Needs. But, in our soul everyone knows that we have come alone and will bid adieu alone. So, the ultimate result is making Self-Happy. And there is only word that we have come with, " I ". Our first and Last Love is... Self-Love !

Lets Fight on last para ....

"This world and its custom is an Illusion."
-- Totally agree but its much more interesting than our relative realities

"We require company in order to allay our Needs."
--Y only "company" ...everything we seek is a need ... its definition.

"But, in our soul everyone knows that we have come alone and will bid adieu alone."
--Cmon not everyone ... we can take few with us ... be a suicide bomber . :P

"So, the ultimate result is making Self-Happy."
--And whats wrong with that ... if everyone can be happy ... :) [I know every1 cant but who cares abt others]

And there is only word that we have come with, " I ".
-- Hmm the only invention was 'I' ... everyone felt the same so we discovered 'U' ... and the rest are just kept to have a dictionary.. :P

Our first and Last Love is... Self-Love !
-- But then i wont be able to love myself without her ... n mayb she'll accept the same ... in simple words .... the self is me but its with her ... hihi
