Impulsive

Love (in a boy-girl relationship) is pretty often defined as a something to avoid lest bearing the consequences of being hurt. But is love all that bad or is it just the state of impulse people have when it comes to love?

Here's a simple analogy, Money. Money is actually revolution form of purchasing power. It is a good thing. It is the most standardized way to determine a person's wealth and afford commodities without having the hassle to carry a load of heavy gold and silver. However, money is now seen as a root to evil deeds in this era. I beg to differ but it is the greed of money that put us in a place of sin in order to achieve more money, to enable us to gain the things we want from money.

Perhaps it's the sudden spark of flame that put us in the situation of putting us in the longing for a relationship, or perhaps the loneliness and emptiness we feel inside, the need of getting affection and attention from someone. The feeling of wanting to be known and getting the extra special treatment by someone from this harsh cruel society. Most of these relationship are short-termed, although we gain what we long for in an instant, but it is all that worth it? Is it worth it to get hurt, to feel melancholy, to lose a dear friend? 

I guess there's a very thin line between love and an instantaneous love. Is this why true love is hard to be found? Because every time our hearts get shattered (for the first time, or not) by someone who's love is only instantaneous, it gets increasing agonizingly painful and tiring to recover it into the same condition. Is this mother nature? It's like the skin above our muscle tissues. When it gets hurt, it bleeds, it heals, it recovers. Getting hurt over and over again only leaves a deeper scar, an uglier wound and a rougher, hardened skin. To protect itself from further damage. A once bitten twice shy theory. 

It's even harder to believe that love actually exists due to the fear in our hearts to fall back into this bottomless pit, to relapse into error, again. There will always be an enguard that resists you from loving wholeheartedly.

I am not the best candidate to judge this, nor the best candidate to fall in love with, nevertheless love is still really much in the misty swamps of the dictionary, waiting for a clear definition to be entered by someone who truly experience it. There are of an extreme minute minority who had experienced it but the word "love" is so vast and vague, no one will ever come to a conclusion what is.
