Love is the most discussed subject by society. Everybody talks about love, philosophers, musicians, writers, and normal people. It does not matter wherever we are; love is always an interesting point to be discussed.
When we talk about love usually people think about love between men and women, love as in having a date or to get marriage and spend the rest of life together. But no, love is everything; I love my wife, my friends, my pets, my country and even my enemies.
My enemies! It sounds strange, doesn’t it? However, it is said that love and hate walk side by side. When someone hates another person, it spends as many time and energy as when someone is in love. Hate is an obsession like love is. So, the difference is only the choice about what is done with this “love”.
Love can be a choice. However, it does not work every time. Sometimes, someone says, I will love this person (does not matter if the other person is from the other gender) and it does not work, the friendship simply does not happen, without explanation. On the other hand, another time, one might say he/she is an idiot, a stupid person, and when they least expect friendship, they are best friends, or dating. In addition, when one says that he/she wants to be someone friend, it frequently works. If there is feeling between two people, they can “choose” to be friends.
So, is this choice a feeling or simply a choice? One thing is true, love does not exist without feeling. And, like Bob Marley said: “Is this love that I’m feeling?”.
Yes, I completely agree with you, love could be with any thing even a thing, for example a car, house or such things. But I think that love is firstly a choice then it becomes a feeling or feelings grow and generate after that and absolutely love will never exist without feeling.
ReplyDeleteHate, I wouldn't call it obsession because obsession is something you are addicted to or have positive feeling towards something or somebody, so it is completely against love in other words not comparable.
