It was that spark of inspiration, out of the blues and totally random. How intriguing! Something so full of meaning can actually suddenly pop up in front of your face out of nowhere. Maybe it was god given (which I believe to be) that came in an earthly form (a dream?), or maybe it just sprang out from weeks of brainstorming.
But well, at least I know now and can justify it. Yes, true love DOES exist. By saying this I do not mean love like in trivial BGRs, something strangely I am not affected by up till this age. You could call that biological, but I wish to believe that it was gift; and I can concentrate on my studies! (=
Pure true love is similiar to Jesus dying on the cross for us, which HAS occured on Earth! And yes, smiliar acts of sacrifice have also been carried out on earth before. E.g. motherly love can cause mum to sacrifice her life for her child. I find it awesome that such things can actually happen, on such a place as Earth! And I choose to believe that both Jesus's and a mother's sacrifices are equally great, just that Jesus' one is much much more powerful, a purer form of true love.
Besides that, I also do believe that every single person on Earth has this value in him or her. This gift was breathed into us by the lord before we were born, and it is through his love that we are and were created (this confirm's TA's point of view that creation is the concept of love). But, it is dormant in us, awaiting us to warmly receive it and open our doors to let it into our bodies. It is something that must be discovered, and I believe people who have eaten more salt than us would have already found it (Parents in the most trying situations still treasure this value dearly).
However, this value can be skewed, bent in the wrong way, such that it becomes wrong, or even a sin. People like terrorists love their God so much that they are willing to sacrifice their lives. By my definition doesn't that count as true love? This is a counter example which I would like to clarify. In the first place, sacrifice means dying for the sake of everyone else. By killing yourself, ALONG WITH other lives, this does NOT count as sacrifice.
So yeah, that's about it. Remember, the value of true love is within you. Someday, just like how this bright spark appeared, it will ring like an alarm in your head. That will be the right time to readily accept it, nature's way of saying that you are growing close to afterlife. Before that, try to discover it in you, and await its calling. Yet, be wary of how it can be abused, and I strongly believe that by using the Bible as a benchmark you will not go astray.
p.s. this is a raw form of my intepretation of true love, which maybe refined when I come around to do so.
New meaning...

It's a common misconception that climbing
is only for those who are young and in good shape.
The longer you extend the no contact period between you and
your ex, the more power you have to putting yourself in a
greater position when the time comes to get back together.
You'll see the wall a little below you on your right
side.
