Love Breaks Down Walls

Love is the most powerful feeling that the human being knows. Far beyond the power of hierarchy or the ability to convince other people by the action of the word, there is an emotion that is capable of changing people: love.

The highest walls that man has created around, without thinking only of the physical ones, have been knocked down by this powerful feeling. Love has enormous power,  capable of producing a deep and permanent change in us.

The walls of misunderstanding

The highest wall that human beings have created is without a doubt that of misunderstanding. Hoisting doctrines, traditions, customs, laws and beliefs, anyone is capable of hiding behind a partition of deafness.

There is no deaf person than someone who does not want to hear, just as there is no more blind than someone who does not want to see. Thus, no matter how wise and kind words you offer, a person clinging to an ancient custom or belief will rarely give in to reason, because in his head he denies the possibility of working with it.

This is where love comes into play. Because a person who has built – around him – a high and impregnable wall, based on common places and preconceptions, can find compression, affection and flexibility in a feeling as sincere and noble as love. Love will be the strategy that will give flexibility to the walls of misunderstanding.

Love reveals your true self

It’s funny how, sometimes, we fill ourselves with reasons to describe ourselves. We look for ideas from here and there, generally created by other people who we think represent us, and we don’t worry about much else.

We believe that to raise this or another idea, which sounds coherent and bombastic, we do not need anything else. It is precisely in this that we shield ourselves, behind the wall of security that the beliefs, customs and thoughts of others that we internalize give us.

This is a dangerous exercise, because it takes us away from the paths of self-knowledge. Looking for the safety and comfort of other people’s ideas, we only get a distant reflection of who we really are.

Later, when the emotional earthquakes arrive that sweep the foundations of our very existence, we are seldom prepared to understand and absorb them. In this situation, and with such a disheartening outlook, we miss out on great opportunities that life offers us, since we are not able to cope due to our inability to understand our own heart.

Love breaks down the walls of belief

The beliefs acquired take us away from ourselves, and bring us closer to how much others want us to think. But that does not make us free, happy, or full.

However, when a true love appears, and we feel that we float in the air with each step we take for the happiness that overwhelms our soul and heart, you feel that everything you have learned and acquired loses its content and importance.

Suddenly, love appears like an earthquake that distorts your possessions, preconceptions and platitudes. A feeling burns in your heart that screams that more important is that person who loves you and whom you love with all the strength of your soul.

And that’s when you realize that you should never be who you were again. Love has changed you. Love has broken down all the walls that you have built to protect yourself, believing that you were safe behind them.

However, love does not need walls, protection or shields. Your own happiness that invades every pore of your skin will make you feel the fullest and most complete person in the universe, without the need to seek other people’s ideas.

Learn to welcome love with open arms

However, if you are not ready to receive love, there will come moments of insecurity when you can doubt and be afraid. In that case, this wonderful feeling may gradually fade, causing you to revert to your old ways of false security.

Only a great self-knowledge of yourself and a deep love for the person next to you, in whom you must blindly trust, will allow you to get out of the pits and puddles in which you can occasionally find yourself immersed. Even if you see yourself in this situation, almost without wanting to.

So don’t be afraid to open your heart to love. Let it tear down the walls that you have created over the years and that enchant your ability to feel the true happiness and freedom that brings out your true emotions.
