Haven’t you ever lost someone?

Sometimes I wonder... why do some people fall in love over and over again...In and out of relationships, in and out of sorrows. Many people continue to love.
Some fail to do so. And I understand.
But to the ones, who continue loving, it's amazing how they do it! I read this somewhere (I don't remember where)

Haven’t you ever lost someone?

A man was walking along the road to Damascus. He recalled his lost love and his soul grieved.
“Pity on those who know love,” he thought. “They will never be happy, with the fear of losing the one they love.”
At that moment he heard a nightingale sing.
- Why do you act like that? – the man asked the nightingale. – Don’t you see that my beloved, who loved your song so much, is no longer here by my side?
- I sing because I am happy – answered the nightingale.
- Haven’t you ever lost someone? – the man insisted.
- Many times – answered the nightingale. – But my love still remains all the same.


And the man went on his way feeling more hopeful.

I think this is a very pretty picture of love. Love is such a mysterious emotion. Quaint yet so simple.
I think Love is contained in this magic cup that is always full to the brim. No matter how much we take away from the cup, there is still a full cup left behind.

Like a mother's love towards her beloved child.
