Love

What if we all have been misled throughout our life? The moment when we begin to make sense of the things around us till the point we are now. What if the movies and books are all telling us the wrong thing? About love, about life, about dreams or even about our bodies?

What if we thought that love is all about falling head over heels with each others? Whispering honey-coated words to each others. Getting funny feelings in the guts. Indulging in his/her presence? Maybe it is about following our emotions and letting our heart ruling over our head. And we can't really stop who our heart choose to love right? Or can we? It seems that our heart and our mind has a different criteria when it comes to loving someone. The mind chooses rationally, examining all the characteristics that you hope your other-half should possess. However the heart chooses without following any rules or regulations. And no one can explain why they love someone.

When someone says they love someone but doesn't know why, they are actually loving with their heart. And many of us are guilty of that. To put it in a nicer term, it is saying that "I don't even know why i like you, but i do. To say it bluntly, it is saying that "I don't know what's so good about you but I am attracted to you, probably in a physical way.

When we were younger, we love with all our hearts. We love like there is no tomorrow. We love fiercely and strongly as if we cannot do without it everyday. Its almost like we get our energy from it. People tend to think that teenagers do not know what love is all about. Those people couldn't be more wrong about it.

But when we grow older, we love with our mind. Because we could not afford to love with our heart anymore. Its like playing with fire. Its dangerous and burn our finger too easily. Maybe we could not handle such risk anymore. Or the pain that love can leave us scarred and wounded. Or rather we have finally realise that true love is not what is deplicted by Hollywood. It may not be a dramatic affairs that we can put on our resume of life. To show off that once in our lifetime, we have love strongly and fiercely.

Maybe when we first love with our mind. We take careful consideration into the person's character and personality. And we decide if we want to carry on seeing that person. We may want to access his credibilty and all.. And after all the initial stage, and making sure that the person is what we are looking for. And knowing that it is the one God wants you to be with. After knowing all that, we can start loving with our heart. We can fall in love and head over heel in love with that person. Because we know that that person will most probably be Mr Right. And not just Mr Right-Now.
