Assalamualaikum and a very good evening to our English lecturer, Mr. Chan Kai Seng, and to my fellow friends. I, Mohamad Afiq, has been given an oppurtunity to give a speech at this very pleasant evening. I would like to talk about something that is so pure, something that came to us out of the blue, and something that goes away unwillingly. LOVE. What is love? Love is a very strange thing. It can be the most amazing feeling in the world, or it can really hurt, but in the end, love is something surely all of us will face. There are many different examples to describe love and now, I would like to share three general examples to describe love.
First, love to a person. What is it with loving someone? When you say those three words, ‘I love you’, they should carry with them the desire to show someone that you love them, not simply what you want to feel. Many did not realise that human has this capability to have ample love to give to others and the more they receive, the more they can put back out. It is a glorious cycle! However, expect nothing in return. But wait, it does not mean you should allow someone to mistreat you or undervalue you. It means, giving love does not guarantee receiving love. Love someone just for the sake of love and realize that he or she may have a different way of showing his or her love for you, thus do not expect to be loved back the same way. One more crucial part in loving someone is, realize that it can be lost. If you realized that from the very beginning, then you will have greater appreciation of what you have. Think how lucky you are to have someone to love. You will never know true happiness until you have truly loved.
Next is to love our very own life. Now, life is not easy nor is it hard. Life is very full of surprises and you never know when something good or bad is going to happen. “Life is very short, and there is no time for fussing and fighting my friend”, said The Beatles in their song, ‘We Can Work It Out’. Thus, we all need to step back and realize how great it can really be. Live every moment to the fullest. Do not waste any single second of being sad, bored or even lonely. Get out there and sing and dance as if no one was around because you never know how much longer you have to do so. If you always wanted to learn something, go for it! Do not let anyone stop you from doing what you love. Always remember this, be yourself, be yourself, be yourself. Do not try to be someone you are not. These are the essential things for us to learn how to love our own life. Love is life, life is love; love life, live love.
Last but definitely not least, our love to God. It is God’s love that kept us going everyday, kept us waking up every morning, and whether we enjoy our day or not, we are still given oppurtunity to walk the earth. God provided life to everybody from nothing, and created the world in the most beautiful and benificial form possible. For example, people can breathe with ease, for, out of His mercy, He created the correct proportion atmospheric gases needed for people to breathe. We could have been born into a world where breathing is difficult. However, due to God’s will and mercy, this was not the case. So, we need to thank god for all his blessing and love for us so that we can live a happy, healthy, peaceful and prosperous life.
In short, there are many examples to describe love such as love to a person, love our own life, and love to God. Once you have managed to obtain and understand love, appreciate it because not everyone of us can feel the enthusiasm as it is the greatest thing in the world. There is no difficulty that enough love cannot conquer, no disease that enough love cannot heal, no door that enough love cannot open, no gulf that enough love cannot bridge, no wall that enough love cannot throw down, no sin that enough love cannot redeem. As actor Steve Carell said in his movie, ‘40 Year Old Virgin’, “love is not a feeling, it is an abilit”. Well then, thank you.
