- Love is stronger than death
Love! How much meaning we put into this word. It has many facets and definitions; it contains the strength and weakness of the human race. From ancient times to the present day, it has been sung, cursed, dreamed of, abandoned. For some, love is happiness, for others it is punishment, for others it is a bitter experience, and for others it is inspiration.
Man is designed in such a way that he needs to love and be loved. Without love, life seems meaningless; people are always looking for someone with whom they can share their lives, both in sorrow and in joy. Only by finding a soul mate can you feel truly happy.
But, alas, not everyone is capable of real sincere feelings. Many people confuse love with passion, sympathy, attraction and never find happiness in one, continuing throughout their lives to change one hobby for another.
True love is stronger than death. We can find many examples of such love on the pages of world fiction. One of the most striking examples is William Shakespeare's tragedy Romeo and Juliet. Their love turned out to be stronger than the enmity and hatred of their families, stronger than death itself. Love at first sight and forever. They couldn't live without each other. Yes, this story has a sad ending, but a very strong message: “True love knows no barriers.” Their love did not stop in the face of death; they were ready to leave this world just to be reunited again.
Another no less striking example of true love is given in the story “Olesya” by A.I. Kuprin. The heroine of the story "Olesya" - a modest girl, not spoiled, capable of completely dissolving in her loved one - fell in love with Ivan Timofeevich, her complete opposite. He is intelligent and educated, but has absolutely no nobility or the ability to care for others. These two completely different people fell in love with each other, but they fell in love in different ways and therefore their love was doomed, they had no future, and Olesya, realizing that everything was stacked against them, sacrificed her love, simply disappearing from the life of Ivan Timofeevich.
Love is a great feeling that sometimes helps us overcome difficult life adversities, makes us strong and wise. But, unfortunately, sometimes love can destroy someone's life. Loving people quite often make many sacrifices for the sake of their other half, which is why love and death often go hand in hand. In any case, give your love and accept it as a gift. Love and be loved!
