Emotions are dangerous to the point of being deadly.....you never know when these stupendously powerful feelings can lead you to hysteria.....there is nothing more commanding, compelling or controlling than genuine emotion.....they can in fact lead you to places and situations you can never imagine.
Such is their power that they can make or break a personality.....they can reduce the best of the lot to ashes....reduce the mighty to dust....and of course in the goodness of their strength they can also make phoenix rise from the ashes.
All emotions....love, fear, jealousy to name a few, are equally potent in their own right....however, of late, I have been driven to evaluate the emotion of LOVE very meticulously, primarily because I have encountered this emotion in varied situations producing drastic results.
Where the love of a deceased spouse has led one to lose herself in an imaginary world where he never left her, the love of a mother - in - law for her daughter - in - law who took care of her and held her close till her last breath, made a mother wish that her daughter accompany her in her last journey as well....
Where love reformed a boy who was deemed to have been destroyed for life, into a successful professional leading a happy, accomplished and content life with the one who transformed him, there was also one who plunged into the pitch dark world of drugs and dipsomania as a result of his unrequited love....
Where love pulled an utterly dejected, demoralized and resigned soul from the hell hole of an ill - fated survival to a promise and a hope for a new lease on life.....the same love when marred by betrayal, and stifled by blind societal norms and pressures....threw her into the clutches of a never ending battle with herself to free herself of the same emotion that liberated her.....it turned her into a feeble, faltering and shadowy version of the once confident, stable and hearty soul that she was.....transformed her from the responsible, mature, sensible individual to a delirious, unbalanced sufferer for life....it muffled her most cherished dream of a good life forever.....destroying her very faith in the values of loyalty, trust, commitment and above all humanity......transforming her into a living dead.
Such are the hues of love.....the progressive and the adverse eventualities of possibly the most potent emotions of all "LOVE"......captivating yet poisonous!!!
