'Love is not just a feeling.... It's an ability', explains the teenager to the father of his girlfriend, when he dismisses theirs as mere infatuation!
How true is the observation!!
Love as a feeling is just the internal response to what we sense from the words and actions of others. We receive it from family, friends and well-wishers. But, identifying it as an ability brings in the sea change!! It unveils the cognizance that love is also about expressing the same or at least reciprocating in a proper manner. Many a times, we miss this very point. We plug in and take whatever comes in our way and forget to match it up.
Developing the capacity to acknowledge its presence, appreciate its essence, respect its existence and articulate its relevance in one's life to the significant other is equally important. Loving back is so imperative!! Is it not this love, 'the ability', the secret ingredient of Mr.Ping's recipe (Kungfu Panda's dad) that not only seasons the noodle soup specially for the customers, but also nurtures the relationships, kindles the warmth, generates gratitude and humility in every individual and makes the other person feel unique!! The feeling adds the initial spark, and the ability fuels and stokes the love.
