this is apparently a big topic, everyone tries to study it, find out about it or at least on some kind of level understand it. everyone wants to be in love at some point in their lives, we all have been crowded with the idea of it since we were little kids, watching movies such as cinderella, depicting a perfectly capable young woman, whose life changing status all depended on her falling in love. we all have grown with the idea that love is this enchanted feeling that you get when you finally meet the person of your dreams. this is why many of us sometimes are dissapointed when we do meet a person and they do not fufill these preconceived notions about love. while some of us are dissaponted by the whole notion when we do finally find out it is a notion, some of us hang on to it for dear life no matter the consequences. don't get me wrong i am not a critic of the notion, i just think it is foolish to somehow over look all the capabilities someone has because somehow they havent found love. there is no denying in the fact that oprah winfrey is a remarkable woman but sometimes all of her achievements are overlooked simply because she does flaunt around the idea of this love notion.
to me love is an emotion just every other emotion that when to the extreme can render you crazy, i have seen many lives destroyed all in the name of love, many people have lost themselves and their dreams in search of it.
as for me, i am not a big fan of love, i mean of course dont get me wrong, it is an "unplanned emotion" and i put quotes around that because in another blog i will discuss my views on free will and our choices and if you can or cannot really choose the one you fall for, but if i happen to find a suitable mate after i have accomplished what i am set to accomplish, then i will not mind falling in love, but as for now i have not yet discovered the importance of it.
Many People have their own definition of love. I prefer the one that says, "Its rather complicated." And that's what love is basically - an emotion. Family claim, better yet, husbands and some wives claim to love their spouse or children and yet they still continue to beat and abuse them, cheat on them.
ReplyDeleteTo me its nothing but empty words. I hope you haven't given up on love, like all emotion it comes and goes. You just have to time it right.
