Paranoia or Pursuit of Happiness

*Thoughts written here were being translated into words at 0130 hrs after a really high dose of caffeine*
In life, all things simple are the most difficult to comprehend. There is no novelty in this thought, but I’d like to carry it through the by lanes of my brain. Of all the simple things that the platter of life has to offer I would like to ponder on love. Love is an emotion, a religion, a state of mind, a matter of the heart. Love, I feel, is a beautiful, abstract yet tangible existence whose definition could fill up volumes of books but at the same time it can expressed through something as simple as a smile. Love exists in the entire spectrum of relationships- man and woman, parents and children, siblings, people and pets, man and his country, man and his possessions, man and his religion, man and life, man and his passions- and the list of the relationships does not end here. The expression of love would vary with the changing contexts.
Man has a basic instinct to be secure, to survive and exist peacefully which in other words would be to pursue happiness. A man falling in love with a woman is guided by attraction, a special bond, a need to settle down and procreate. The need for procreation arises from the belief the man will be able to reproduce the happiness, he feels, he has achieved. This process of creating happiness and love would remain the same for all the other relationships mentioned earlier. Love and happiness follow each other in a cyclic manner. A happy man is most likely to fall in love and a man in love is most likely to be happy. In most circumstances the concept of love and happiness is synonymous.
If love is a beautiful and a simple emotion and all living beings are born with the capability to express it, then why is it considered so complicated? I guess the answer is lack of reciprocation.
Love is as stubborn and innocent as a newborn child. It is always on a hunt for a complementary emotion. It is the expectation of reciprocation that complicates the emotion of love. A complicated emotion does not conclude with a successful pursuit of happiness. This theory of lack of reciprocation of love holds true for all the equations that exist in the universe. In cases where reciprocation (read: things to work out) is expected to come from inanimate objects (money, possessions, success in job, calling in life, hope to travel, world peace, etc), and it does not happen, it must be some kind of an occult system put in place by Nature/God to personify these inanimate objects and subsequently help them to disapprove the incoming emotions. The lack of reciprocation only makes you sad and at times hurtful.
Peace comes with acceptance. This is the only harsh lesson that man has to learn and use it to fight the complication.
These are all very often repeated thoughts and words, but for me the whole understanding of the process took time and it is only now that I have been able to give a framework to my thoughts.
