Love

has anyone wondered what does the word L.O.V.E really means... i seriously doubt that anyone really knows its meaning and what it really represents... so many types of love exist in the world that we live in... love between siblings, love between parents and children, love between friends, love between a couple etc...

i would think that love between couples is the one that many people yearn to grasp hold onto, but many fail in the end... who can say that they know all that there is to know about love... who can say that they have experienced all that there is to experience about love... i feel that no one can say for sure that they are better to give advice to others in love matters... true, u may say that a particular person may have gone through more relationships than others... his love experience is indeed more, but have u ever wondered that everyone is different, so how can u say for sure that u know what other people are thinking or feeling... you may advice ppl on how to behave, but you can nv tell anyone who to love or how to love... that is all up to the individual...

many people gets confused between the words love and infatuation... the famous "Love at first sight", to me, it doesnt exist... the more appropriate words should be "Infatuation at first sight"... i dont believe that one can love another just by seeing them for the first time in their lives... its more of an infatuation whereby you are drawn towards that person... this is purely based on looks, but love is actually more that just looks isnt it... its a combination of looks and inner beauty... whats the point of loving someone who looks good but has an ugly personality... many people who decide that they are in love with someone just because they look good, the relationship usually dont last... u need to really understand the person, get to know their personality and character before deciding if he or she is the right person for you... at least this is what i feel...

sometimes, i really admire those who dare to chase after the love that belongs to them based on their feelings instead of using a rational mind to analyse before acting on it... these are the people who are willing to risk their everything for the one person they love... but then again, too much feelings might end up being the one thing that will scar them forever...

in a relationship, the feelings must be mutual... it wont work out if one party is willing to put in the effort to maintain and sustain the relationship, where the other party is the one just taking everything for granted... in the long run, it wont be healthy for the relationship... both parties must be willing to give and take...

how many people can say that they have found the true love of their life... the one person who is the guy or girl of their dreams... that they are equipped with all the characteristics and criteria of their dream guy/girl... that they are the one that they want to spend the rest of their lives with...

to me, i dont believe in true love anymore... in this materialistic world, love is no longer what it means compared to the past... maybe its because of a failed relationship, or maybe i just haven met the one for me, but this is what i believe in right at this point of time... love now is just overrated...
