Hello mon frair....freur....friends. Have you ever been in love? Well, I have. And let me tell ya something, Love stinks! Just like the song say. But, ain't love grand? That's right, love is a silly emotion that makes people crazy.....literally. While love is great and blissful, it's also painful.
So....what exactly is love? Well, if you agree with my above statement, about how love make people happy and sad, then I'll try to break it down into my understanding of it. Love itself is neither a good or a bad thing. I know most would think that love is definitely a good thing. Well, someone could love killing. And if you don't believe that, then how about love for someone? There were people that loved Hitler. So, can love be only regarded as a good thing? The answer is no. And this 'Power of Love' thing, is a crock of crap. It's more like a power of justice. But justice and wholesomeness and respect are totally different things from love.
Ok, so love isn't all flowers and sunshine. But that doesn't mean it's a bad thing either. OK, so you think it may be a bad thing because you may get hurt a lot. Like a cheating girlfriend or boyfriend. Well, once again, that is not the same thing. That has nothing to do with love. That is plain and simple trust, and possibly faith. The truth is, you can't blame love for that stuff. Those are trust issues, not love.
So, what is love then? Love is just an emotion. The same as being happy or sad. Where as being happy is an uplifting feeling, and being sad is the opposite, love is just a feeling of attachment. That's right. It's nothing more. It's neither a happy nor sad feeling, for they are their own emotions. Now, yes, you can feel happy or sad because of love, but love is neither. So, truthfully, all those songs have it wrong. Love is NOT blissful, love is NOT painful, love is just that, love.
Now, you may be thinking that it can't be true because say you just met a new friend. You obviously don't love them yet, right? Wrong. The moment you feel a point of attachment, it's a form of love. Granted, most people would call that "like" over "love" which isn't wrong, but, like is also just another word for love. Sure, it sounds like a watered down version of love, and it may be true, but you have to admit, it still does mean love.
Well, this has been Elmidor, hoping I've enlightened some of you. So, this is farewell. But first...I have to throw in some silliness or it wouldn't be anything like the rest of my journal. So to make up for all this whole entry.....CHICKEN BUTT!!!!!
