Absence of Respect in Love Can’t be True Love
What is love?
I read this somewhere. “Love is a variety of feelings, emotions, and attitude… It is to feel more than liking towards someone”.
We tend to fall in love most of the time easily with mere attraction towards a few things about that person.
The attraction can rise because of constant association or interaction professionally or personally with a colleague or a friend.
And behold, we believe we are in love!!
Then what? Then…. The phase of sharing starts: Intimate details, pains, losses and challenges prompts reciprocation in the form of admiration, empathizing and extension of support.
Since we are humans, the feelings are overpowering and overwhelming, and we end up craving to be with that person more with each moment.
Even without knowing much about that person, we conclude that we are in ‘love’.
When in ‘love’ we forget our own self and nature. We forget that we need respect, which is the most basic thing for any human being, especially in relationships.
.. And we tend to forget asking the basic question to ourselves, ‘In the absence of respect can love exist?’
Without mutual respect love can be merely a physical attraction. One can’t be happy if the other person is attracted to you physically only. The red flags should be raised when you see how your partner treats you extremely well at certain times, but when feels convenient shower with insults. I don’t think love exists in such a scenario!
Do wait to see if the person respects you and to confirm that you respect them before making a commitment!!
