I wish you lovely morning, dear Toastmasters.
Today, I am going to talk about love. And no, I am not going to talk about love. I am not going to talk about how we should also love our parents and our families, I am not going to talk about how we much love nature and how we love our pets. Do the students of JNU love the country… no, I am not going to talk about that either! And I am not going to talk about how we must first love ourselves. Come on! This is February, a beautiful February, and I am going to talk about unabashed, unapologetic romantic love.
What
is love? Surely, it is not about the red balloons at the traffic signals or
about the Archie’s greeting cards. It is profound, much more profound than
that, of course. It is perhaps the strongest emotion we human beings are
capable of. It is often larger than life itself. It can change the life that
you lead, and it can change the person that you are. It is important to know
how every love stories is immortal in its own way even if it does not result
into a forever. You are never the same person before and after it. Think of it
- shall we ever be able to love as innocently, as entirely as we had loved in
our first crush?
