Wow! I’m in Love!
Hold it, don’t celebrate yet! Are you sure you are really in love? I’m sure you feel butterflies in your tummy. No doubt, anytime you see her your head does a 360 spin. Obviously, he makes your heart skip a beat. I do not doubt the fact that there are actions. My question is this: are you sure those actions actually translate to love?
We have so humiliated love that if it were possible, it would disappear from this generation. We have a ‘thousand and five’ love clichés. We have developed theories on love. Any feeling that makes the penis of a man come erect is called love! ‘Love doesn’t cost a thing’, ‘love is blind’, ‘love is wicked’. These are clichés that have been hurled unjustly at love. For God sakes, when did love become wicked? Correct me if I’m wrong, but that would pass for the greatest irony of all time! So, what then is love?
You are a guy, and a beautiful girl walks into the room. In a nanosecond you size up the situation: simple but modest clothing, a kind voice and a million-dollar smile. Yep. She's definitely a woman, and you are attracted.
You are a girl, and a handsome guy walks into the room. Your brain tells you that he's good-looking, but you tell yourself to be careful because he may also be a jerk. So you watch carefully as he treats everyone with respect, and then he begins paying attention to you. Oh, no. Now what are you going to do? You are attracted to this guy.
The above scenarios have been playing out for a long time, and you know what? They will continue to play out. The problem though is that many people have titled it love.
From the beginning of the world, the need for companionship has plagued man. The desire to love and to be loved in return is something we cannot wish away; in fact, it is a perfectly ‘legal’ desire. It is harped and amplified by the ‘million and five’ love songs that pervade the airwaves. It is in the movies, it is everywhere. The hero saves a beautiful girl from a terrible drug lord, falls in love with her, and they live happily ever after. We have come to believe that love is something we fall in! This is especially scary because it gives me the impression that love is a well or a pit that one can carelessly and accidentally fall into. I guess I’d better watch my steps! Truth is we are not only deceived by the music and the movies, our brains also deceive us!
