Is this Love

IS THIS LOVE?

                LOVE is _______________________.

                Have you filled the blank in a nano second? Or are you confused of what love really is? 99 % of people when asked if they have been in loved would answer yes, but few may have a concrete answer of what is their perception of love. So, how are you sure if you really love somebody? Or it is just admiration? Or infatuation? Could you really tell the difference?

                Now that you like somebody, what will you do? Don’t pretend that you don’t like someone, because it will surely boost your feelings. Instead, maybe it’s better to take this opportunity to figure out what you really feel. You have to understand the difference between admiration, infatuation and love. This may help you avoid the heart ache.

ADMIRATON – what the eye sees

“Looks can be deceiving.” This has been proven historically. We are easily attracted to what pleases the eyes. According to Pluto, beauty is the greatest seducer of man. So, don’t give meaning to an instant liking to someone who is attractive, its normal, because it’s the reaction of the mind. This is the reason behind advertising; a simple powder put in an extravagant bottle is the best seller. Look for someone who will make you fall in love even with eyes closed.

INFATUATION – what the heart says

                “The heart is more treacherous than anything else and is desperate. Who can know it?” the Bible says. This may be deeper than admiration, you may be invested yourself in this feeling. Infatuation is often regarded as love; you have to be very careful. Someone may be blinded by infatuation. You are attracted to his/her personality, and you exaggerate his/her disposition. But infatuation is like a sand castle, it can be ruined in an instant. You may desire someone for now, and after few months, you may have the same feeling, but for another person.

LOVE –what the mind shouts

                The mind is wise than the heart. In Love, you see the positive features and weaknesses of someone. Love is never blind, it sees but it doesn’t mind. It accepts everything. A proverb proves that love is not feelings alone, “love is long suffering and kind…….it bears all things, believes all thins, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.”

                A short time may not be enough to identify your feelings. Love can be a process, it may start from admiration, to infatuation and then to love. The best thing to remember is to have patience along with love. The best things come when life is not in rush. Love is worth the wait.
