Finding the definition of Love…
“…can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure (“I loved that meal”) to intense interpersonal attraction (“I love my partner”). “Love” can also refer specifically to the passionate desire and intimacy ofromantic love, to the sexual love of eros (cf. Greek words for love), to the emotional closeness of familial love, or to the platonic love that defines friendship,[4] to the profound oneness or devotion of religious love…” -Wikipedia article on Love
The above context is explaining what I wanted to blog about in the topic of love. It’s not solely about interpersonal romantic relationships – it’s a description of the feelings of an individual towards just about anything.
Lovemore.hk
There’s an interesting and truly meaningful project – “Lovemore.hk 你還可愛麼“, learnt when I was browsing the blog of 卓韻芝. This voluntary project gathers creative personel around Hong Kong to create short films related to the topic of “Is Hong Kong people still able to love?” – That is, to love the people around you, the ones you don’t know, or actually care about them – especially to those most people might have been forgotten: the old ones, the ones who worked hard for a living (against the “loveless” government.)
The project has deeply inspired and reminded me the bits of “love” Hong Kong people are losing. Nowadays the HK people can only remember one thing: “No Money, No Talk”. It is cruel to see Hong Kong’s being overrun by Big Name Developers-Monopoly and Landlords – they have been controlling the living of every HK people to the degree of almost unescapable. When you’re watching the news, or reading the paper, the news of inflation is always cannot be avoided.
TVB news has been documenting about the issue again and again:
It seems that in Hong Kong there’s not much people who cares about the group who loss the most of love – they’re losing the love from the community, they’re losing the love from the ones around them – the most touched example is that the old ones – the ones who was to build the modern Hong Kong to the golden age we’re now at – are now the least cared and just sitting at Retirement Homes (安老院), hopelessly waiting for their final days.
Who loves them?
Finding the Love of… Mine
I admit that I do sometimes diving into kinda “depression”, when thinking of my experiences: including failure attempts of, you know, romantic love; or just seeing friends around me have found their partners.
There’s still time, however, for it. It’s no hurry for this.
After reading the Lovemore project, I feel that I’d rather be finding the ultimate goal of love: Making everyone feel the love.
I’d rather be happier when the ones around me are happy; I’d rather be happier to help my friends resolving their relationships on their own romantic love.
When everyone feels the love, they’d be happy – and when I see them happy, I’d be happier.
Sounds stupid? It’s nothing shit I’m writing on here. Feel the love and be happy, people!
我不能得到愛，不緊要。只要我還可「愛」，令他人有「愛」，我就滿足了。你，還可「愛」嗎？
