for you to answer..

Is love simply a feeling, an emotion? Emotions are but momentary projections of the psyche - unsure and unreliable, fleeting like a candle-flame, shifting like the sand on the shore. Emotions are too abstract, too vague, sometimes even misleading (that it isn’t a wonder why a rocket scientist would never make a rational conclusion on a mere “feeling”). Am I to believe that THAT is all love is – a temporary projection of the mind? Besides, if it were just the feeling that men and women are after, then why aren’t love-hungry individuals satisfied by simply upping their endorphin levels by wolfing down heaps of chocolate? If love were just a “feeling”, then it is an absolute stupidity to make an important decision (or a lifelong commitment, at that) based on something so unstable. What happens when the endorphins take a leave? Is love gone when the sparkling feelings wane? Something so valued and sought-after as love shouldn’t be as ephemeral as an orange popsicle.

For that matter, why is love so desired?

cos its a hope and an unfulfilled promise.. and we all hope for something to hope for.. especially when there seems to be nothing to hope for anymore..
