Worth Noting:
- Orpheus was a great musician and he played on his lyre sitting in the forest. He played his lyre so beautifully that all the animals and birds listen peacefully it. Eurydice also listen it and for hours Orpheus played his lyre and Eurydice listened it sitting by his side. They were lost for hours like this.
- One day when Orpheus was playing on his lyre and Eurydice was enjoying his music. Then on the way Eurydice was walking on the way in the forest, suddenly her leg fell on a snake and it bit her. Eurydice died and Orpheus was shocked by this incident.
Love is the most powerful word in the world and it is also a word which is the most misunderstood word in this world.
Love is the most amazing feeling which comes directly from heart. It wins everybody which is freeware but we don`t value it.
Everyone loves some person, animal, thing, place, any matter, memory etc. in this world. Though many people love, they don`t know that what is actually love. Well, we can`t give its particular definition of it because it can`t be described properly.
According to me love is such a feeling that includes everything like happiness, sorrow, disappointment, jealousy, anger, fear, security, respect, trust, understanding etc.
So if two persons love each other genuinely, they understand each other. They trust each other and they also give respect each other.
They also sometimes quarrel but there is also hidden love in those quarrels. They become upset and don`t talk with each other after some time they don`t do clarification about that quarrel and start talking again.
That`s love. God has put this feeling in everyone in this world so I think everyone is romantic whether it is the matter of quantity more or less. Without love the creation of this world is not possible.
The most valuable love in this universe is a mother`s love for her children. It is eternal love because god himself can`t be free from this love.
Another most valuable love is a person`s love for nature. The third one is a soldier`s love for his country.
In these three types of love there is sacrifice. So the most valuable thing in love is sacrifice. If you love any person genuinely, you can sacrifice for him or her anything.
Sacrifice of own desires, sacrifice of a thing which is the most loveable, sacrifice of own dream, etc. I won`t tell here sacrifice of life because when it is very necessary, it can be given in sacrifice.
If a person loves another he or she should be ready to do anything by his or her wish. Many love stories have been created of this type of love. Love story of Orpheus and Eurydice was like this.
Orpheus was a great musician and he played on his lyre sitting in the forest. He played his lyre so beautifully that all the animals and birds listen peacefully it. Eurydice also listen it and for hours Orpheus played his lyre and Eurydice listened it sitting by his side. They were lost for hours like this.
One day when Orpheus was playing on his lyre and Eurydice was enjoying his music. Then on the way Eurydice was walking on the way in the forest, suddenly her leg fell on a snake and it bit her. Eurydice died and Orpheus was shocked by this incident.
He did not like to live his life as he could not bear this sorrow. He played on his lyre but with sorrow and disappointment. One day he decided to go to Hades.
He talked about this to his friends but his friends explained not to go to Hades because it was very risky. Finally he departed to go to Hades and reached to Hades home.
At the gate a dog stopped him to enter but he requested for a while. He told it that he could not live without his wife Eurydice and he pleaded it often. He then was allowed to enter into Hades home.
Orpheus met Hades and told him that his wife Eurydice died and he loved her so much that he could not live without her.
He pleaded to Heads to bring his wife Eurydice back again and again. Hades told him that it was impossible to bring back his wife. At last he allowed Orpheus to bring her back with a condition that Eurydice would come after you and he would go ahead.
If he watched only once back to make sure that she was coming, Eurydice would die. Orpheus agreed but he looked back when he was on the half way.
Suddenly Eurydice disappeared and he became sorrowful. He then decided to live whole his life without Eurydice and sacrificed his life for her. What a love story it was!
