Who would you choose, the one you love or the one who loves you, and why?

Who would you choose, the one you love or the one who loves you, and why?

Neither!

Case 1- If I choose the one I love.

I decide to grow a plant in my garden. I water it daily, I protect it from insects, bad weather, everything. After all care and affection the plant finally grew into a big tree. I’m happy.

One day there's heavy rain. I went to take shelter under my tree.

The tree refuses!

I ask with hope in my eyes, why? Why you will not protect me? After all, I gave you my everything!

The tree- “Because you love me”

I- And, you?

The tree- I don't. I never did! You choose me right?

I am standing there, no longer feeling the pain of heavy rain but the only pain I could feel is the pain of my heavy heart full of regrets!

Case 2- If I choose someone who loves me.

I am very thirsty and looking for water everywhere.

After searching for it everywhere, I am still not able to find it.

Someone comes to me and offers me juice. I took it because I was very thirsty.

After sometime, I am again feeling thirsty.

The person comes to me again and offers me juice because that's the only thing he has and I again took it.

After sometime I am again thirsty. The person ask me what's wrong ? Despite of quenching my thirst many times, why I'm feeling thirsty?

And I ask this question myself and realize that what he is offering is not what I was looking for. I will be thirsty until I find water. And the person will keep standing with what he is having, in hope that someday he will quench my thirst.

So, instead of choosing between “the one”, I will choose to feel the love!

And love is never one sided. It is a feeling between two people that keeps them connected. If it is absent at either end, it's pain and emptiness!
