39. LOVE 

There were various sounds in this world which you didn't like; one of them was the sound of the discordantly wailing eunuch,

There were various truths in this world which you didn’t like; one of them was the inevitable arrival of death,

There were various places in this world which you didn’t like; one of them was the island of ghastly hell,

There were various things in this world which you didn’t like; one of them was starvation to unprecedented limits,

There were various heights in this world which you didn’t like; one of them was the abnormally long height of the dinosaur,

There were various situations in this world which you didn’t like; one of them was the arrival of devastating earthquake,

There were various delays in this world which you didn’t like; one of them was waiting at a claustrophobic traffic signal,

There were various liquid's in this world which you didn’t like; one of them was the venom oozing from tail of the scorpion,

There were various words in this world which you didn’t like; one of them was a phrase that abused your mother,

There were various speeds in this world which you didn’t like; one of them was that of sinking sand,

There were various holes in this world which you didn’t like; one of them was the burrow which lead to the red ants,

There were various clouds in this world which you didn’t like; one of them was the blackest of them all; engulfing blissful territories of this earth

with overwhelming flood water,

There were various colors in this world which you didn’t like; one of them was the appalling color of cold blood,

There were various birds in this world which you didn’t like; one of them was the savagely croaking vulture,

There were various dreams in this world which you didn’t like; one of them was the perception of a loudly laughing devil,

There were various waters in this world which you didn’t like; one of them was a sea laden with a million sharks,

There were various tree's in this world which you didn’t like; one of them was an ugly cactus embedded with a battalion of pugnacious thorns,

There were various animals in this world which you didn’t like; one of them was the menacing alligator,

And inspite of all this there was only one thing in this world; which I am definitely sure that all of you liked; and for those of you who didn’t I really pity;

for the thing I am talking about was infact the very first reason that made you read all the lines in harmony till this line; O! yes what I am about to convey;

is already at the top of your minds; for it is none other than love
