We as humans, do need love. Because we want to be showered with care and concern, we want someone to be there for us when we need him/her, we want to seek the attention because humans don't like to be alone.

Right from the moment we were born, we are already yearning for love, from our parents. It's such a natural thing. As we grow up in years during childhood, we start to ask for more display of love from our parents. Apart from seeking their attention, we go for other things like asking them to fulfill our needs for materialistic items like toys or money.
Until the age when we start to mature and think, love from parents may not be sufficient for us. We feel that because we need more people to pay attention to us, and that desire increases as our social circle widens. Then comes boy-girl relationships in our teenage years and later as we approach into adulthood, the search for lifetime-companionship through marriage. Not sure if anyone noticed but our expectations of relationships and love increases as we start to think more of what we can get from our partner. We start to request for more time and attention to be spent on us.
Rightfully speaking such a thing is alright, when we learn how to give and take and our expectations are not too demanding. Still, break-ups still occur, divorces still happen, quarrels are as common as having 3 meals a day among couples. From my own point of view I just feel that when there's no mutual understanding between both parties or simply one side demands more than the other and there's unjustice, all hell break loose among couples.
Some other cases which i had seen, couples fell out with each other because there's no existance of feelings for each other in the relationships. They got together because they had a feel for each other, they like or love each other (whatever it is...). But after a period of time, feelings start to drain off and there's no sense of commitment, resulting in the failure of the relationship.

Commitment is a pretty important factor if the relationship is to last long because we need to have the motivation to keep a relationship going and feelings are not enough, even if you try to revive the old feelings because it gets tiring overtime, really. Being there and done that. It really takes up a lot of your time and energy.

So what is the requirement of love? Love asks for nothing except for commitment from willing hearts, because willing hearts can do all things no matter how difficult things may be and commitment keeps the passion of a person for something going. Once you have these 2, you'll just begin to see how wonderful relationships will be because everything will work out by itself, even if it means sacrificing for the other party (without compromises) it'll be a willing thing.

Just a thought of the day... Just feeling confused lately about some things (think ppl are smart to know what it is la) . Somehow my feelings just took over my rationale thoughts that I may not even know what I'm doing. Thank God there's still the spirit within to do the controlling. Thoughts may run wild at times but no actions are taken. Dun be mistaken that I'm actually going mad. Haha..
