They say love is blind. Hmmm, now that really set my grey cells working. Is love really blind? If yes, y so? And if no, then y is it said so?
Love is blind, maybe coz it makes u overlook ur beloved’s faults. Like they say “complete acceptance”.
Love is blind, maybe coz it makes us unable to think rationally and logically, its more about the feeling than about being rational. Maybe coz it can make u forget the difference between right and wrong, coz it makes u bend to the other persons demands , to an extent wherein u forget ur selfrespect. It can make u question ur core values and deepest beliefs, shake foundations of ur most treasured relations…..
It gets worse when it is one sided. It can make people crazy, hurt them, break them, drive them out of their minds and depress them to the point of ending their lives…. As if there is nothing else in this world that is more important……
But that’s not all. What happens to friendship when love , in any form or intensity, comes into picture?
They way I perceive it, love has this dangerously peculiar characteristic of causing neuro-degenarative disorders. It will affect those specific neurons which are involved in perceiving feelings of friendship. These neurons , as they degenerate, will then wipe off only those specific parts of ur memory where ur friends are stored ( yes u will have to store ur friends in ur brain cells once u fall in love, coz ur heart is fully occupied) . though it may sound tacky or pathetic, its true, think about it.
For those of u who r in love with someone, think about this-
When was the last time u called ur friend, just to see how he/she is doing?
How many times have u hung up on ur friends, or said u r busy , coz u wanted to talk/ chat to ur beloved?
How many times have people told u, that thay haven’t seen u for long and u think they r all lying?
How many times have ur friends told u that u have changed, and u chose to ignore them?
When was the last time u talked to ur friend without mentioning ur beloved even once?
See what I meant? I agree I may be exaggerating here, but then all that I have said is true to some degree, in some form. Exceptions are always there and if u r one of them, then I must say, ur brain cells are good enough to be compared with that of some of the best scientists in the previous century. Either that, or, ur immune system is strong enough to ward of all the ill effects of love…….
PS: the “love” that is mentioned here, belongs to the category that is exhibited in my immediate surroundings, i.e. amongst the youth. The other forms of love I believe are too sacred to comment upon by someone like me.
