ALEX
EPISODE ONE
THE
LOVE TALE
First time I heard them talk about love,
confused and baffled by their level of their level of concentration and the
unending zeal of the one who lectured them on ‘LOVE’ as a student I sat and
listened to this hullabaloo that is becoming a big mountain,
I thought of what
to make out of this whole episode but nothing made sense of it to me. On and on
he went until, he paused the lecturer and decided that it was time to get
interactive with the students; the question now is what is LOVE? In your own understanding, the very bright
students in class took turns to eulogize
love just like the lecturer had done, in fact I remembered one of them saying “LOVE” is an indescribable
force of nature, strong willed and irresistible,
it happens spontaneous and
unsolicited that you are attracted to someone and next you can’t help it,
he/she becomes the circle of attention begging daily for your utmost care and
like a wildfire it consumes every marrow
in you until nothing is left of you! He went on and on but those were the words
that stocked to my memory. I was still trying to make meaning out of what was
been the subject thus far, when it got to my turn to be a part of the lecture,
and uncertain of what to make out of the whole episode,
all I could muster the
courage to say is what turned out to be the most controversial topic for the rest
of the semester and like a stigma, it hanged unto my memory and my personality
and character was been defined by that the point of the day and that was that,
which I had no option but to say what I understood as the point of the day and
that was that “love is nothing, but the greatest myths of all time,
contrived
by a fragmented majority to the detriment of their thinking faculty, I mean how
could one acclaim that suddenly they cannot describe how and what is happening
to them. That to me as was the weirdest of all imagination for every thinking
being should be able to explain what happens to him at every point in his life.
This
were obviously, the things I thought of and believed in fact, if there is
anything that I believed about-love then, it is that love is nothing but the biggest myths of all times.
From then on my countenance and
personality became white-washed with stereotypes And stigma, some thoughts of
me as an unthinking being one what is out of reach with reality, it was really
absurd how a person could live without any feeling, no emotions and nothing but
his appearance makes marked him human.
That was exactly the perfect way to
define myself, for I am but a shadow with no form.
The days rolled by when, I began to recount
my ordeals to the many who cared to know why and what really defined my
personality as well my definition of love as a myth of uncertainity….
