Love Class_Zeta_2018-19
“Love is the will to extend one’s self for the purpose of nurturing one’s own or another’s spiritual growth… Love is as love does. Love is an act of will — namely, both an intention and an action. Will also implies choice. We do not have to love. We choose to love.” ―
When we all listen to this four letter word “LOVE” we connect it to the love between the couples, the emotions, the feelings, all the good things, and moreover the myth that “Love is a Feeling”. But, when we got the opportunity to attend Love Classes, the whole perception was changed. The myth that Love is a feeling was totally changed to “Love is an action” which means that you need to express it through your actions be it your love for your spouse, sibling, friends or parents.
The other sessions covered about forgiveness, marriage, parenting and the myths of parenting which were quite insightful.
Forgiveness: I never understood the true essence of forgiving someone. At times we hold on to grudges with our dear ones for some small arguments which is much easier than to forgive someone. Forgiving needs a lot of courage and plays an important role in one’s emotional well being, it is not only about forgiving someone but it is for your own peace of mind and it really worked well when implied in real life. It makes life easier.
Marriage: I understood that there are different stages of marriage which is a cycle and we all experience each stage at one or the other point of time.
During the journey of Life and Love Classes, when our co-participants including our facilitators shared their learning through their real-life examples and the situations, we were also enlightened.
What have I learned from these classes – to be a good listener, not to judge others, be empathetic and have developed an understanding which gives a way to solve the problem as Problems are a part of life and inevitable.
I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Jay Sir and Nikita Ma’am for patiently listening to us and making this journey of Love Class more beautiful.
