Triangle of Love, Emotion, and Art

Basically, love is blood in art works veins. It is inherent in the muscles of master pieces. For instances, Taj mahal is love present from Syah Jehan to his wife mumtaz mahal, Monalisa is da vinci’s masterpiece about his imaginative beautiful girl , Ka’bah is proof of love of prophet Ibrahim and his son for God, Colloseum is witness of roman’s love in bloodshed, and Borobudur is samaratungga’s people effort to preserve their beloved religion, Budha, under a Hindu king’s reign. Love is their fuel in creating master pieces. In my view, universal and inspiring are two reasons why love is always be main theme of most art work.

Love is universal. Objects of love isn’t narrowly to someone, it can be something, somewhere or even hobbies. Besides, every living creature , not only human being, on earth owns love in each unique character. In fact, whatever creature it is, love is always means desire of owning and sincere sacrifice. While as human, because of universality of love, we can imagine or feel what an artist feel when we enjoyed an art work. It’s possible that they have a similar love story. That similarity encourages great acceptance of art. So, every thing come from heart will reach heart as well.

Love is inspiration. Inspiration is not exclusively happiness. Sadness and under pressure condition often raise great job. The two deep feelings could emerge energy. For instance, when we were sad, we could stand for days with no food. There are some Indonesian songs told about in love people who forget to eat. Writers could keep writing without asleep for hours. Glenn Fredly won’t be like today without broken heart and there is no broken heart without love. Moreover, the fabulous Kahlil Gibran won’t be legend without being in love. In short, every single feeling in our life is because of love. We hate crime because we love virtue, we’re sad because we lose something or someone we love, and we’re cheerful because of love as well.

Finally, love is limited letters with unlimited meaning. It doesn’t matter about what the meaning is. The matter is whether it will improve us or destroy us. Whatsoever happened to us, happiness is our right. It’s a big loss to spend our time not happily. But laugh is not laugh without tears.
