Love is not a monopoly of us human beings.
Love exists in other life forms as strong as
our love if not stronger for their loved ones.
Love starts as an instinct from the start of
over lives as well as lives of other life forms.
This could be even before the birth of a baby.
Motherly instinct driving the sea turtles,
leaving the safety of water and coming to land
risking their lives in the process of laying eggs,
beyond the part of a beach where the tide
doesn't wash away the eggs laid underground.
Some make it back to the sea but some turtles
do not manage to return to the sea when they
get caught up by rough rocky area exposed
by the falling tide making it fatally Risky,
if they got trapped among those rocks.
Mothers incubating eggs and fathers travelling
huge distances to get food from the sea,
for the mother and baby when it is hatched,
is a classic example of pure love of parents,
for their offspring in the penguins of Antarctic.
We, humans, are also driven by our instinct,
but our intelligence modifies our feelings
and actions, making complex emotions in
experiencing love in receiving and giving
our love for humans as well as other life-forms.
Regardless of the complexity of our emotions,
Love is the only thing that increases rather
than decreasing, when it is given to others,
including humans as well as other life-forms.
Unlock your hearts and give out your love
and feel the love growing inside your own heart.
