 
Poverty knocks:
Love Flies
by Susantha S. Edirimane
Affection to one another with a
feeling of fondness or delicate pleasantness is sine qua non, for growth
and development of a society. There is a vast difference between love
and affection. The former signifies a deep feeling or anxiety for
attraction sexual or otherwise while the latter is a tendency towards
tenderness. Society demands affection of all for sustenance or
resurgence. Literature reveals both aspects of love and affection in
immortal contributions of scholastic editions emphasising the popular
concept, that, when “poverty knocks at the door, love flies through the
window.
Love fails and succeeds, root causes are vivid and volatile, and also
capricious. Love cannot reach serendipity by fits and starts or emotion
and passion youthful expediency treats love on a vibrant note of pomp
and pageantry but end up in dilemma and hypocrisy, due to own frailties
one of the most convincing factors for disarray of love, is poverty, of
which lovers are least concerned, when passion, emotion and delusion
play a prominent role in their character.
Means of livelihood, fair and reasonable for a growing family, should
get predominance, before one embarks on an errand of consistent and
genuine love. One should not prove himself a slave, in quest of love
thereby building castles in the air and thrusting false pledges to the
partner. Self dependency should be secured to arrest bitter love and
redeem its lustre.
Vigour dedication and determination in combating poverty, are
obviously essential to keep love above water and steer clear travails
and turbulence of love, which can mar one’s life, if these aspects are
neglected. Love, of course, is a natural phenomenon and anxiety.
 It would be impossible to keep love in obeyance until you get over
poverty. However, intelligent individuals will always soft-pedal issues
and give priority some sort of self-sufficiency, before predominance to
passionate love, so vicious and deceitful youth must be trained to check
and control emotion and also repudiate velocity of carnal conduct.
It may be easily said than done but if one wishes to disprove, that
love will not fly through the window so easily, one should be sagacious
and discreet enough to mould one’s character and personality, and be
confident in arresting poverty to a degree, that one would not suffer
due to love and such pursuits.
Otherwise, elders and associates will have the last laugh, when you
plunge into adversity and distress due to hasty love. Love in haste will
expose you to repentness at leisure. |
