The true meaning of love

In the recent few months of this year the country has witnessed shocking accounts of domestic abuse and violence. Individuals have turned against each other in cases that lead to maiming and even worse, death.  The root of these actions is often two issues; financial disputes and infidelity.


Our society has lost its moral decency. Love has been replaced by Lust and tokens of appreciation have lost value due to the growth of the materialistic culture.

This corroded the concept of love which has led to the rise in infidelity, cases of divorce and worst of all domestic violence.
