Love conquers all.

Three words. Both in English and in Latin. Hold the same meaning. Have the power of creating a greater impact. They aren't just words - there's a great secret that lies within them- it's a way of life.
I plan to unfold this learning, step by step, minute by minute... as I continue to explore this beautiful gift of life that I have been bestowed with.
I stumbled across this Latin quote many years ago, when I was 10 years old. Back then, I was in between the 'not-so-shy but not-so-bold yet' phase of life. It was some curiosity that led me to learning and reading about Latin as a language. Later, this spirit of inquiry evolved into learning a foreign language closest to Latin (after Italian) - yes, Spanish. What a romantic language!
Since as long as I can remember, I continue to be immensely fascinated by the English word 'love'. Coincidentally, my name 'Neha', is believed to have been derived from a Sanskrit word 'Sneh' meaning 'love'.
I grew up having deep faith in love. Unconditional love. Love has the power to conquer all. 'All' - here, for me - embodies various intensely unpleasant emotions (fear, anxiety) that we as humans experience. Love strengthens us to overcome these difficult feelings and thus helps us to emerge as conquerors. That's what life is mostly about - conquering ourselves, ain't it? (:
