Love with all your heart

~ In a relationship, there's always one who loves more - Jodi Picoult

I came across this statement in one of her books, 'Mercy' at the back cover. I don't have the liberty to read this particular one yet due to time constraint and have other books need to finish but this statement really caught my attention while I was browsing through her collection last time.

Love is a feeling and when it comes to feeling, it is really subjective, no definitive mean. You really can't put it on a scale to measure how much you love someone because it is simply innumerable. If you can count how much you love someone, that's for me is not love, yet. But, action speaks louder than word. You can't measure love but his action would reflect almost precisely what his feeling towards you. Just like you can't measure unhappiness but it will be reflected in suicide statistic, for example.

Back to the statement, it's a given that in any relationship, there will be one who is striving harder in the relationship. It's not to say that his partner don't care about the relationship but it's more like he will be pouring all his soul and effort into the relationship in order to make it a success.

Is it a bad thing? Of course it isn't. In fact, everyone should be doing it but alas, some are reluctant because they are scared of putting all eggs in one basket. If you put your everything into it but it didn't work out well, then what next? That is what that been preventing some from trying their 100% in the relationship, they are terrified of the uncertainty in it.

If you are one of the few that always give their best, I salute and applaud you *bow downs*

If one day the heaven decide to give me a chance in loving someone, I too will give my heart and soul to him irregardless of what the future holds so that I would not regret it someday.

Love,
me
