What’s Absolute Love?

One of the most desperate things some of us can do is cutting a flower and tearing off its petals one after another asking repeatedly, loudly or in silence until the last petal is uprooted if someone loves us or not! We almost all did it when we were young because we’d seen others doing it, but I’m talking about us as grown-ups now!

Some of us think that absence of hate is love! Others think that love can’t exist without hate! For me both are true to a certain degree but what is love truly? It is certainly everything, but cutting off a living being and tearing its members! Yes, I am talking about the flower! That’s hate and the most paradoxical thing is that the aim out of that action is the pursuit of love!

My question here is: Is it okay to sacrifice a small being or a significant something to conquer an uncertain love or to be satisfied and think we are happy and “Loved”? Is love partial or absolute, or both? Is it okay to step on the life of a little flower to pursue an uncertain or even certain love?

I’m not sure that love is that! If that’s what it is then it’s only one partial selfish side of it! Ultimate love is for all to find and to be found in love!

You want to know if absolute love could exist or not? It’s simple. Just close your human eyes and open your inner ones and imagine our planet. Now go further and try zooming in your mind with me, try to focus with that old lady living in Peru, having in mind at the same time that young child in Africa running after a ball, then think of that new freshly born baby in the USA yesterday, and that man walking to the grocery store with his dog in Amsterdam despite his full garnished with organic food, and that old wise man sitting alone on a bench in China but smiling a bunch looking to the passers by and smiling constantly to those who may recognize his free- love giving! Imagine all of these and more then ask yourself honestly this following question: Can I randomly love them all without knowing even them? For me, the answer is an obvious yes and that’s what absolute love is!

 

I’m in the Jacuzzi, bubbling ounces warming up every single inch of my almost naked body! My eyes were closed when I opened them suddenly I saw in front of me on the right a black toe with a thick golden nail that started to emerge from the boiling miniature water volcano! A whole foot emerged and all the toenails were heavily paved with gold! It was impressive and beautiful! I was an Afri in a Jacuzzi with Africa!

-“You thought you’ve left me behind?” She said, with a constant wise smile drawn on her face!

-”I didn’t leave you! It’s just that I like my coffee with hole milk! I meant whole milk!” I responded and slightly laughed!

-“Why have you left? Really?” She asks.

-“You know your Lands better than me, Mama! You know that I couldn’t live being who I am on your earth and continent! But after all, I left Africa and came here as an Afri to discover that they call California ‘CA’, so I am an AFRI in CA! Mama Africa.”

-“I love America, I mean the USA but it’s not what I thought it would be! Here, it’s a land of rich over poor and abuse of power using money! I left Africa to meet freedom in America but freedom is hiding so far I couldn’t find it or meet it! It maybe has left! Where should I go next to find it that’s the question? Australia, Asia, Europe, or go back to Africa maybe? I don’t know! However, there’s deep inside of me the feeling that freedom is above finding refuge in one country, above finding shelter in one continent, it is above asylum in one ‘safe’ place upon another! Freedom is in union and peace and a better international system that rule our planet! No more division, no more individualism! If we just for a moment think that we live in a ball called planet Earth and floating in the air, we will understand that we can’t be divided only united in happiness and peace as one human race!”

-“I talked too much Mama!” I looked back at her and said!

She looked at me back and responded, “I am a continent I don’t speak that much and you shouldn’t expect America to speak as a continent or the USA as a country neither! The People are the ones who can and must speak and either they will bring us together as we used to be or separate us more than we are right now!”

I didn’t say goodbye, and left her without even apologizing! I left Africa at the boiling Jacuzzi of the Y, and I don’t know why?
