Love...

What is 'love'? Is there 'true love' in this world? What's the meaning of 'love' anyway?

Well, dictionary.com defines love as follow:

1. A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness.

Of course there're other interpretations.. i chose the one that everyone can identify with..
Looking at the definition, do you realise that love for another person can be split into 2 types. The first arising from recognition of attractive qualities
The second arising from a sense of underlying oneness
Now which is applicable to you i might ask?
I myself have seen cases where first type scenarios always occurs... Guys going after girls with attractive qualities... The love they have is superficial, or rather skin deep... Of course, these types of relationships normally wouldn't last at all when they find out their personalities clash...

I saw a very good example while in school:
Guy A chases Girl A because he thinks she's beautiful, they got together when Girl A broke up with Guy B. A few months later(less than 4 months actually), there's new intake of students. Guy A sees another beautiful girl (Girl B) and breaks up with Girl A, citing he has no time in commiting to the relationship. He then chases Girl B. Of course Girl A was very sad (and i mean really heart-brokened) when she knew about the truth after someone told her.( Not Guy B nor Girl B.. Guess who?)
However... as God has planned... the relationship did not last at all... (just a few months, i forgot cause it was exams and i need to pass...)
My heart really goes out to Girls A & B for having met such a person in their lives...
In my opinon I see Guy A as a BIG F**KER who deserves to lynched... (of course killing is illegal) Hopefully, God would punish him even though he maybe a practising Catholic or Christian..
*Note Guy B's not me, i've never been in a relationship*

Now for the second type of love, it's not as common as the first type. It occurs when people just clicked together. They love each other for who and what their other halves are. Their relationships are able to endure turbulent times and of course they'll marry each other eventually (most of them). You can really see how strong these relationships are if you have friends that truly love their other halves as their other halves love them. I've some friends who are in these type of relationships. Though there may be squabbles now and then, they're able to make up immediately without any misgivings. That's what i'd say's a love that can surpass everything...

Fo me, i'm not in any relationship at all. Never have been in one up to now... Of course there's someone that i love, but there's some things in life that just cannot go the way that you would have liked it to go. I only hoped that she'll be happy always.

Well that's all i've to say... time to retire for now...
