Is love just a little thing? Well, I guess it’s not because if it’s just a little stuff, it would not hurt a person that much. Sometimes we forget the true meaning of love. We often interchange infatuation and love. These two words are somewhat alike but it does not really mean the same thing. Infatuation is a state of being inspired with a foolish passion. It is just temporary love and not a real one. It does not last unlike love which lasts even after death.
How do we know if it’s already true love? What is love anyway? The truth is there is no exact definition for it. Each of us has our own denotation of love. The bible also has its definition of love. According to the book of Corinthians, “Love is patient, kind, without envy. It is not boastful or arrogant. It is not ill-mannered nor does it seek its own interest. Love overcomes anger and forgets offenses. It does not take delight in wrong, but rejoices in truth. Love excuses everything, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.”
Ms. Rodel, our health teacher, defines love as an indescribable feeling that only a feeling can understand. Yes, I believe that it is only a feeling which can understand another feeling. If there is no love in a person, that person would never understand or feel love no matter how you express it. For me, true love has no agendas, no attachments, no ideas, no demands, and no conditions. True love is when you go beyond its plain definition; it is when you are already willing to give without asking anything in return. It is absolutely indescribable because I myself cannot find the right words to express my perception of love. To understand it well, you must be able to feel it with all your heart. According to an article I have read, our minds can talk about love, but they can't actually experience love. Love can only be experienced through feeling. Many times we confuse the experience of love with the word or idea of love. You can say the words "I love you," and not be feeling love. You can also feel love when you think you can't or shouldn't. Love is a very strong feeling. It can even drive anyone crazy or insane.
Among the most famous definition of love are: “love conquers all,” “love is blind,” “love makes the world go round,” “love hurts,” “love is a many splendid thing,” “and many more.”
How would you distinguish true love from a phony one? Actually, I still do not know and I’m still searching for answers to this question. I can’t explain the topic well because I myself am confused.
As the song goes, love moves in mysterious ways and its always so surprising when it appears over the horizon. Do not look for love because love itself will find you.
