L.O.V.E

For most of us, love is simply this butterfly feeling in your stomach whenever u see that special someone.

But is love really that simple?

The term fall in love just sounds too dangerous isn’t it? People do literally fall to their deaths, no? Why can’t we use the term fly in love? hover in love, or simply….. float in love? Why must it come with the word fall?

I think the word LOVE is so complicated sometimes that I wonder if it’s ever worth it. Worthy for u to literally fall for it per se…

I’ve had my fair share of falling in love and of course falling out of it. I must say…during those falling out experience was quite “discomforting”. My eyes was always teary, loss of appetite and worse of all, I have this really really annoying, incessant tinge of pain arnd my heart during those times. Looks like I have fallen ill u say? Well, you’re right….I was diagnosed with a heartache. A condition that no medicine in the world can ever cure.
Even so, falling in love doesn’t mean it’s all rainbows too. At times when OML hurts me so bad with his words or actions, I feel the same tinge of pain arnd my heart too. Is that part of love as well? If love is supposedly so beautiful and wonderful…why did I feel the way I did? If that’s the case, what’s the difference when u “fall in” and “fall out”?

Maybe because whenever u “fall” in love, there comes a point when there’s certain expectations from each party within the love equation. And as u both struggle to keep the balance, the scales will tip from time to time. That’s when each party have to make some adjustments and compromise to balance up the scales again.

I think love is a lethal potion, yet we fall in love ever so often, again and again n again…..and not learning our lesson?

I think love is a feeling that we can never leave without. It’s a feeling that cannot have any scientific significance that we can seek to understand or put it into theory or numbers. It’s simply just a feeling that no touch, no sight and no sound can ever explain. And yet, we depend a lot on LOVE. It’s a concoction that GOD deems essential to keep us going perhaps?

Be it parent’s love, siblings’ love, friend’s love or romantic love... it is undeniably a part of our everyday lives and it is almost impossible to ignore.

What is LOVE?

I've come to realise.. That love is not just a feeling.. because feelings change like the weather. There are times when things are going tough in our daily lives, the feelings may just fade away.. So it's tricky to base 'love' on such an unstable state.

Therefore I believe that

Love is patient, love is kind.

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails.

1 Corinthians 13 describe what true love really is. :)

Roy Masters ( http://www.fhu.com ) makes the point that in modern culture to "fall in love" is a very apt description of what goes on between a man and a woman in 99.9% of the cases today.
For a man, it's surrender to emotions and degrading the woman from the role of noble life-partner, to the role of accomplice in his own self-destruction.
For a woman, it's the wicked pleasure in seeing the man so destroyed.

I like the phrase to "Fly in Love" !
