Love is..

Hey all!

Well, not surprisingly, am sitting in starbucks again. After few macroecons run through, it is definitely time to stop looking at the crazy text book for too long. Hmmm~ what should I post about this time. After few 'sight-seeings' here, I felt like posting about this one.

The famous 'Love is blind'. It is pretty true if you think about it. Look around. You will understand why. It is like, when you are so very deeply in love, the flaws, no matter how big or how small they may be, will be seen as 'nothing' to you. People might say you deserve a better partner, but, of course, to you, everyone is wrong about it. It must have been something that person did which touched you so very deeply and all of their wrong-doings will be hidden from your view or you plainly choose not to see it due to the fact you are scared to lose that person. Your sight will be opened when, one fine day, another treasure comes along and top the position of the current one in your life. The problem with that will be you-will-have-to-wait-for-that-one-fine-day. Good things come to those who wait. Trust that sentence. Serious! It works. Once, a dear friend said "Love is stupid". It is not. It is something to cherish and experience no matter how bad or good it is. The problem is, it is blind. "Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit." - Peter Ustinov - A friend told me that it is more like we are willing to tolerate with it and it is not blind. (Think bout it darling. It is the same. Hehehehehe.)

Love comes in many ways, forms, looks and sizes. Watch 'Love Actually' or 'Love is Cinta'. You will get to see the many ways how love is shared. Sometimes, or should I say most of the time, you can feel or experience the presence. You will have a different feeling of care. Sometimes it comes straight and you see it directly in front of you. It is whether you want to accept it or block it away from you. If you did not get the 'love' you want from that special person, you are still getting endless ones from the people who care.

Love is not selfish. If it is, then it is not love at all. Selfish will be, like, example: A pretty and attractive girl, being popular among guys and loved by most. The Boy , in love with the girl deeply. the Girl knew about his feeling but the Girl has no intention to give the same feeling to the guy. But the Girl just like having that feeling of being like by the Boy. So she kept him hanging and knowingly kept him in pain and torture, even after the Boy opened his feelings to her. For those who are planning to toy around with the other poor unfortunate souls' feelings, put yourself in their position. How the heck would you have felt if it happened to you! For goodness sake, if you do not want to, CUT IT CLEARLY! If someone asked you "what about the future?" and you answered "well, I do not know what will happen in the future. It may work out it may still not." So what? That does not mean you can keep that person hanging till you really know what you want! It is either you give back what that person wants or help that person to move on and save their pride!! For goodness sake!

"To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down."
- Woody Allen - Hey, there will be rainbow only when it was after rain. A rose will not be a rose without thorns.

When you did not get your feelings back the way you want it to. You will start blaming that love will not go your way. Correct? Yes you did blame yourself for having such crazy luck. Well, it is not. It is a wonderful experience. Not everyone can go through such experience. Things like that will only make you stronger and build you up more. "Love doesn't make the world go round, love is what makes the ride worthwhile." - Elizabeth Browning -. "You do not choose love. Love chooses you.". So, if it is not meant to be, slowly let yourself out. It will not only hurt you, the people who care for you will equally feel sad with you. You do not want to appear to be that weak now, do you?

Somewhat personally, I think love is quite dangerous. At one point, it can bring out the evil side of the person and at another point, it can change a person into someone that person is not. I do not think it is right to say that you did not go through that point. Everyone will. After looking around, some homo-sapiens can turn into monsters (may it be green or poisonous). They can even start victimising the people around them just to get attention, even their good friends who stood by them all the time. You got his attention, fine! And then? You will start doing things which you think it is right but it did not go through your mind rationally. Another type will be, you will not be yourself in front of that special person to you. You will try to change yourself just to fit to their perfect partner criteria. You will start to feel uncomfortable of yourself. You will start feeling lost. News flash: First you need to ask yourself. Do you have a circle of friends which is an obvious answer. If they love you perfectly the way you are, so will the special people. If they do not, then it is their lose. It meant it-is-not-meant-to-be!

"Love is like a violin. The music may stop now and then, but the strings remain forever." - unknown - Which of course, reminds me of my late grandparents. That is definitely one good example to illustrate that quote, right? *smiles*
