#7 A feeling
Trending
When Alfredo di Stefano was asked what Real Madrid is to him, he replied: “I think it is a feeling.”
No-one could have put it better than the greatest Real Madrid player of all time. After writing six reasons, I will discard all of them for this 7th one and say that love is a phenomenon that can never be explained.
If one has ‘reasons’ to love something, then that love is no love—at least not an everlasting one. The reason for making this claim is simple. Words have boundaries, love does not. Hence, using something as limited as words to describe something eternal as love is like trying to fit the sky in an empty glass.
Love is just a pure feeling. And nothing else. Feelings have no reasons, they can’t be styled in words. Take di Stefano as an example. He clung on to life and didn’t let go of it till he saw his dear love win its 10th European Cup.
This is love. This is feeling. This is Real Madrid.
