Why Love?


What is love? Love is a strange feeling! It can be the most wonderful and the sweetest feeling you have ever had or it can hurt you much to an extent that dead is better than alive. Why does love give people results which are far different? Some people believe that there is true love in the world as long as you are looking for it; nevertheless, true love is too difficult to exist everywhere for everyone. We can only see it in fairy tales such as Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Snow white and so on. True love is almost nowhere in real life.

1. Is it possible that love happens at first sight?
Personally, I don’t believe love can happen at first sight. It is possible that we have good feeling towards someone, but this is not called ‘love’; instead, this is just a crush. When you see someone for the first time, you may have a crush on him/her, but the affection from a crush does not last long. When there is the time you are with him/her, you then will feel that he/she is not your Mr. or Miss Right.

2. Is it important that two people with different hobbies and interests come together and color the world?
People can come together as long as they have something in common. The moments they are sharing their hobbies is when they can strengthen their relationship. I believe that the relationship between people with different hobbies and interests will falter from time to time. Sooner or later, they will not get long well and break up.

3. Is it possible that people fall in love with each other by simply mails and letters but have never met?
I used to see the case in movies, but in real life, is it possible? It may be the case. The lovers are chatting through mails or letters about things happening to them. They are sharing what they like, hate, encounter, think, and dream of. As time passes, they can get to know each other better than anyone else in real life. Two factors must be considered here to make love possible: no deception and no appearance discrimination.

4. Is difference in age a barrier to true love?
Some people believe that it’s not a problem for love when the partner is far different in age. An older man is very stable and has more experience in life than a younger one. He can give a happy family to the young woman. An older man is believed to love and take care of his young spouse more comparing to a younger one. However, I personally feel that difference in age mostly leads to difference in hobbies. Two people born in two different decades may have fewer things in common such as education, hobbies, belief and thought, and so on.

5. Is a crush called love?
Like previously mentioned, crush is not necessarily called love. You may have a crush on someone by his/her physical appearance, a single activity, or a particular characteristic. However, the feeling of a crush will dramatically change when you get to know him/her better. A crush rarely lasts long unless he/she is destined to be your Mr. or Miss Right.

6. Is love secure?
Does love last forever throughout the whole life when you’ve found the one you love? The fire of love is very great at the beginning stage. Once two people come together for a period of time, the fire is getting smaller. When they are married, it is almost blown out. Rarely is there a couple who still love each other after many years of marriage as much as they did when they were on dates. Is love secure? Probably not! Time is the enemy of love.
