The Truth About Love: Ignorance or Bliss?

As promised earlier, today's post would be a belated post about Valentine. It's not exactly related to Valentine's day nor the rose conspiracies behind it.

Rather it's about something so hypothetical in nature, by it's delusional essence and cliched definition that never fails to amaze mankind.

Love
. So often used, so often described - yet neither of us can truly grasp it's real meaning. While all of us claim to know this familiar feelings, we can never seem to express the true depth of love in words. Love is hypothetical. Love is aloof. Love is profound. All this can be used to describe love. Neither is absolutely right nor absolutely wrong. It's the exploration of such views that intrigues the human mind. So what is love?

As an individual, I believe love to be an integration of ignorance and bliss. While another individual wears a glass, his view and judgment has been inevitably distorted on the accord of that very glasses; love can be in fact liken to that glasses.

Love can afflict us with joys and hope. Love can bring us to our knees. It can subdue our pride and ego all the same. To sum it up, love can bring out the best and if not, the worst in us as well.

If loving someone or even having that deep passion on other subjects, can allow the human mind to bear all differences and predicaments, even for a moment - why can't love enlighten us on the anguish and heartaches that mostly follows soon after?

Why indeed?

Love will always remain elusive and cryptic to the human mind. Some choose to cling on to their convictions - that love will always prevail even in the darkest of time. Where as some choose to cast aside their credence in love and place it in a more seemingly dependable logic.

But the truth is;

That Love is all there is,
Is all we know of Love.
