I know it is long after the Valentines Day...but I still thought I will share my views on this subject.
Is it alright for young people to fall in love? Why not? As long as we are not hurting anybody with the feelings we carry in our heart and are guided by the right spirit, I believe falling in love is not wrong. And what I would also like to add is it is important that love is selfless and yeah loving somebody could just mean praying for them, feeling for them and sharing their joys and sorrows. And it really doesn't have to do anything with getting married. I see most of us in this mailing list signing off as "love xyz". All we share is a common cause here and hence the bonding. And as far as the younger generation is concerned, when you think you are in love, probably it would be a good idea to include our parents also in this new relationship. More often for them to guide you, so that you don't really get into something probably you wouldn't like to be in after about 10 years of your life. One question which you should probably ask yourself is will I be able to love this person the same way as I love him/her now even after times pass, even if he/she doesn't love me as much as I love him(I know love is not measurable...but yet again it is just a feeling). Can I forgive him/her whole heartedly time and again whenever I'm hurt due to him? Am I ready to give him a second chance every time? And if the answer for this question truthfully is an "Yes", then you know you are definitely with the right person. And yes! Do involve God in your decision making. Pray specially for this relationship and I'm sure if this is not meant for you, God will never allow you to take a wrong step! -----Original Message----- From: deepak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, February 16, 2003 9:51 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [JOYnet] Valentine's day..is it ok to fall in love ?
