love knows no bounds
I never want my love for another person to be restricted by their religion, race, or ethnicity. I couldn't care less if the person I date practices another religion.
I started thinking about this after hearing about a guy I know say he wouldn't date someone who wasn't the same religion as him.
I've always thought that love is pure and endless. That when you actually love someone, their differences from you won't matter. I hate that now I have to take into account for my religion being a factor that ruins my chances at love.
I know, if it's meant to be it will be. But truly, how can we let factors that are not in our control affect who we decide to love.
I was born into Hinduism, yet I love practicing it. I was born as a brown person, it's not something I can change. I'm Sri Lankan Tamil, I can't change that.
I hate that a person limits who they can have a relationship with just because of them not practicing the same religion. It's so dumb. Who cares if you and your significant other don't share the same culture? Learn one another's.
Life's too short and too hectic as it is. Why bother adding mental limitations that only negatively affect us?
I've always had to worry whether a guy I liked would be into brown girls. Now I have to worry about the million other subgroups I fit into and whether he's into them.
I'm just kidding. i couldn't care less. But, you must see my point now. I know that my person will love all aspects of who I am. I also know that most people are stuck up on the uncontrollable aspects of other people.
The one thing that really irks me is when religion becomes a inhibitor. All religions are beautiful, and interfaith relationships are just as beautiful. Yes, it comes with confusion and hardships. You might have to spend hours learning the other religion, spend time engaging in religious events, and spend time listening to religious speech. But you love that other person. So do it.
Although it may be hard, why let intangible factors prevent who you love?
I understand preferences, yet I also understand that when you love someone, you LOVE them. If you do love them so much, none of this matters, because you will always find a way to make it work.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that we should love without limits, for love knows no bounds.
