Who Then, Should Define Love? Poem by Kondwani Simwaba

WHO THEN, SHOULD DEFINE LOVE?
Almost everyone can define love based on Apostle Paul's letter to the Corinthians; but who really can say they fully fathom such a complex topic?
If I do speak for myself; then I reckon everyone is but a professional on matters of love, because love is but a proponent of time and time breeds experience and thus everyone has their own experiences.
Or could it be that which the early philosophers said to the Athenians; or that, that message still lives with us to this day except with time we've all become myopic?
I reckon what love was thirty years ago isn't the same today or whatever we have; that's to say that whatever experiences my parents endured are todays deviance.
Now before the sceptics chime in; I am not saying that what my parents taught me is obsolete, only that my personal experiences over time and what I have learnt vary.
Today's problems include but are not restricted to social media and internet infidelity; it is rather miraculous to even find a group of people discussing chastity.
Howbeit; each and every household or relationship has its own challenges and exigencies to beat, which is why individuals should not force their notions of love on others and hope for such promulgations to tarry.
But what do I know; except for that which I personally have been introduced to by affinity, ergo despite the poor economy I share these two cents with my utmost amity.
So the question remains; ‘Who then, should define love? '
All I know is that; everyone has a different experience and at best everyone ought to be left to experience it for themselves.
Alas! Everyone should define love for themselves…
