How do you explain...?

My students always ask me, "Teacher Julie, how come liddat?", and many a times do I find myself stumbling, without a reason, and trying to find even an inch of an explanation to pacify them. Well I could contribute it to incompetence on my part at times, it's really difficult to put a finger and an absolute value to everything we come across in life. It's more than just throgging through an infinite pool of resources called the World Wide Web; it's about getting the answer right, and struggling to cope with whatever amount of dissonance there is. It's even more difficult, at times, than explaining why it's "I am" and not "I is".

"There is no remedy for love but to love more."

- Henry David Thoreau, 1839

And when it comes down to answering questions like, "How do you know you're in love?" or "How do you know he's the one?", I'm even more in a loss for answer, than ever. I guess we've both acknowledged the fact that love isn't simply about saying that you're in love with someone beautiful, rich and famous, because that's lust, not love. As baffling as it is, the answer's simply in oneself. It's only a matter of either finding it, or getting lost in it.
