To Simply Love: Irony of Sorts

Love is such an amazing idea. It's so amazing, I don't even want to consider it an idea. Some scientists have decided that a certain chemical process in the brain is "love." I don't know that they are right, but I do believe in love. We usually use the term beautiful to define anything appealing to the eyes; but Love is beautiful. They say that God is Love. I believe this to be true. It is the only concept that really make sense. For one: You simply cannot believe in God and not believe in love. Two: If you don't believe in God, love is only proof that He exists. It's a complex idea, but if you think about it, it really does make sense.

God isn't exactly my thesis in this unorganized, random blog. Love is the the point. Most people have been in those relationships where they said that they had fallen in love. Most of those people, after losing or leaving the relationship(s), deny that it was ever love. So how then do we know when we are in love? The way one is to love God is to know Him, for if you know Him it's not possible for you to not love Him. You may wish to fight me on this saying: But it is possible for one to know God and not love Him. The truth is, if you know Him completely then you will love Him. It's actually quite simple. What's not simple is to love other people. One cannot use the same way of love as mentioned above to love another person. In order to love another person, you do have to know them to a certain extent. But it takes more than just knowing them. It takes more because you can never fully know anyone except God. God is written of in the Bible where it tells of all of His greatness and none of the opposite because there really isn't any. No one person is written of to such an extent, and people are actually more complex than God. The reason is because God is loving, caring, and omnipotent, and we humans can be loving sometimes to certain people or things, caring half of the time because of selfish motivations, and definitely not omnipotent. But all of us are different. So we can't really love everyone to a full extent, though I must say that we can love everyone. We can love everyone with the love we would associate with a sibling. It may not be exactly like one's love for a sibling, but similar to. We love our closer friends more than the ones further away. Why? Because we know them more and usually because they have done something to make our lives better. Ever reason to love is a selfish reason, but don't think there's anything wrong with that; though, most of the time there is something wrong with it. Look over your selfish reasoning; only you can judge.

To fall in love... is the most complicated of all, I believe. Everyone says they've done it, but have they? How do you know if you are infatuated or in love. Well, if you are two months into a relationship with a person you've only know for a week before the hookup: you're most likely not in love. Now, there is no set time for when you will start loving someone. It's all up to your heart as well as the other's. It's so hard to even write on, and so many have tried to write it out before, and worse: have tried to explain it. But my point here is to tell you how I feel and what I have experienced to help you find out on your own. So to fall in love... you must fall in love. And no one can tell you that you are in love. No one can tell you that you are not in love. It is all up to you.

  1. i think it's really really easy to love someone. God wouldn't command you to love everyone around you if it was that hard of a thing to do, that's alot of people to love.

    i don't think people should tell other people whether they're in love or not, but i believe most people think that when they're really not. i haven't really decided where i stand with all that yet, but i know that you don't go around falling love just because you date someone for a while. that doesn't mean anything. falling in love is something that would take time... and sacrifice... and true bonding, i don't think people realize that.

  2. "falling in love is something that would take time... and sacrifice... and true bonding, i don't think people realize that."
    Totally agree with that.
    I do love this blog. [[heehee, pun intended.]]
    It was pretty though provoking.
    You know very easily people confuse love and the idea of it...maybe you should put some thoughts in that? :)
