When Things changes, Will the Feeling Change?

Was having afternoon coffee earlier, deep in my thoughts and suddenly I thought of a story to share with all.

It took quite a while to come up with this story. Enjoy.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once there was this man, who really likes this girl, but the guy was too shy to confess his feeling to her. All he can do is to miss her day after day. He prayed that somehow, someday, she will notice him and accept him.

One night, the guy was thinking of the girl again when an angel appears to him and asked him, “Are you missing that someone? She is not even your girlfriend, why are you missing her or kept thinking of her?” The guy replied, “I have a liking for that person, that’s why I kept thinking of her.”

The angel begins to ask the guy,
“Will you still like that someone if she had become fat and ugly?”
“Will you still miss her when she is old and frail-looking?”
“Will you still care about her when she is sick and weak?”

The man was shocked by these tough questions for he can’t even answer it. He feels really ashamed of himself for he realized that he hasn’t understood what true love is.

Many a times, people develop a liking or feeling for someone because the other person is pretty or handsome. Or maybe that person is wealthy and successful. When things are smooth sailing, people usually take these things for granted and thought that it will always remind the way they are now. But when things take a turn, what was once pretty and beautiful can turn into disfigured and ugly; will that liking feeling still be there? What was once rich and powerful might fall from grace and lost everything overnight and become poor, will you still be by the side of that someone?

I remember reading/watching a story about a man who really like this gal and the gal wanted to test his love for her, make a pact with an wizard to turn her into someone who is old and ugly. When the lady in the changed form appeared in front of the man told him that she was placed under a spell and will not be able to change back to her previous youthful self. But still the man hug her tightly and said to her that he will love her no matter what become of her, this really moved her and the wizard appeared and changed her back to her normal self and the couple happily married each other. If this is true, it really makes me wonder, how many of us are able to pass the test and stand by the side of that someone when she/he has turn old and ugly?

All these thoughts make me search deep in myself to understand more about True Love. As the vow for marriage read, “for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part.” This is the promise that couple made to each other to accept each other no matter what become of the other person till death do us apart. Remember; don’t make such a promise if you can’t keep them.
