Over the years, people tried to identify "LOVE". Philosophers tried to put an exact definition of it. Doctors tried to explain its reason and which is responsible for it. Is it the heart, the brain or even the eyes?
What I couldn't understand is why. Why they spent all that time and effort to explain what is mysterious. We keep searching for mysteries and when we find it, we do our best to figure it out. Why we don't just consider love as one of the biggest mysteries in life that no one will be able to figure it out no matter how much he tries.
Love reveals our true soul with all its beauty and ugliness. This makes some people scare but this is where love's beauty exists. This is what makes love lights your life. You play no game, no other character. You stop thinking about others' opinions and what they think - not anymore-. You just be you.
"Perhaps the feelings that we experience when we are in love represent a normal state. Being in love shows a person who he should be."
Anton Chekhov (1860 - 1904)

Although I think that heart is the controller of love but deleting your brain would be a big mistake. I know that love is just fate. No one can control who he will fall for, when or why.
"Love isn't a decision. It's a feeling. If we could decide who we loved, it would be much simpler, but much less magical."

But once you fell for someone, you better take your mind's permission. You must make sure that he will keep your heart safe and won't hurt it.
Love is the gate to a magic world. Your lover is your only ticket to visit that world. So, try to find a ticket that will stay with you till the end of the journey and won't let you down.
In that world, you will forget yourself. You will unit with your ticket to become one. So, be ready. It is not an easy journey.

I wrote this one about 3 years ago. I don't know why I decided to post it now, maybe because many of my friends are going through this tight turn, to be in love or to forget everything.
I know Love is great, the greatest thing ever, but you have to think wisely to not get burned by its flames.
wow !! I LOVE u :-*
ReplyDelete" Love is a single soul dwelling in two bodies "
" Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to ur own " ....
By the way, love is the light in the darkness of life.... It is the cure for a sick soul and one of the greatest gifts which not everyone gets ....
But No ONE thinks wisely when it comes to love... love is blind and so are its followers :( ....
Thanks Fadwa.
ReplyDeleteAbout being wise, I disagree with u. Sure you have to listen to your heart but not thinking in how things are going to be is just a mistake.
No one can stop his heart from beating, but for sure everyone can control his actions and put limits for his dreams and imagination.
It means nothing to dream about life with someone, who you will not end up with. So, why to live the dream if it won't happen in reality??
I think everyone should stop for 5 mins and think about the story and what will happen next.
This is what I meant when I said you should be wise. :) SO, BE WISE :D
Good post Yasmine,
ReplyDeleteI like the phrase about the gate and that your lover is your ticket.
BTW, I'm with who thought to forget everything in this critical period of our life ... don't ask me why :D
Thanks Mahmoud.
ReplyDeleteActually, they didn't take the decision yet. I hope they take the right one.
I won't ask why unless you told me voluntarily :D
