What is love, and why is it?

So this is a text I wrote about the belief people have towards 'love' some people believe in it, some, may not. I thank these two people who had the conversation (i won't mention names, this is the internet.) or may I say argument (?) about it, and it inspired me to write this.

First things first, what exactly do people mean by 'love'? Well, it really is the same as 'like'. It's the feeling of attraction. When you say you 'like' something, you're, in a way, attracted to it. It can apply to anything, doesn't have to be a person. You like food. You like shopping. You like watching TV. You like sports. You name it...

On the other hand, I think this articles is focused on the attraction towards others, towards another specific one being. The opposite gender.

Then the topic of relationship comes in. Love. Falling in love. Love at first sight. Now, a lot of people are in a relationship because they 'fall in love'. The question is, do they know what love really is? Some people just do it for the sake of being in a relationship, or because their friends have a relationship, they don't want to be alone.

Anyway, back to the topic of discussion, does love exist? Personally, I think it does exist, to everyone, but then comes if it is mutual, I still believe it does, but only if it's mutual. Love at first sight? No, I don't believe in it, it's just stupid.

Okay, maybe love at first sight do exist, but its next to nothing, I'm not saying only 'chosen' people get it, I mean out of 7 billion people, you can't just meet your love of your life out of nowhere. Love has its sciences, or as we commonly know it as, chemistry between two people.

Love. It really is a strong word, and specifically, like I mentioned before, we're talking love in a relationship or towards a specific person. Why or how we fall in love? I don't know, that's just what we personally feel.

So, I've said before, this article was inspired after two friends of mine had the conversation, or "tweetation"? It was within two sides, one who believed that love do not exist, or that it only apply to lucky people, and the other one was that, love do exist, even if it is not mutual.

There are no wrongs, both side has it's rights, but we'll look at it from a neutral perspective, or maybe you guys can say from my personal perspective. yeah, don't judge.

If only lucky people fall in love, does that make God choosy about who will meet their love, and out of more than half-a-dozen billion people only these 'lucky' people can feel the real feeling of love? No, right? I don't think so too. There's not really, lets say, 'perfect matches', that out of almost 7 billion people there's only one perfect person for you.

As much as I believe love exists, I think that it's by the finding the right person with similarities, to you and someone you can relate to, and then making him/her perfect for you. So in short, it can be anyone. The guy/girl next door, or the guy/girl across the country.

And let's remember, love is not all about looks, or the background of a person, or race. It's about who they really are. deep inside, their personality.

On the other hand, I think I already brushed the topic in the previous paragraph(s) by saying 'making him/her perfect for you'. But if love isn't mutual then it's nothing. Yes you're attracted towards a person, but it just doesn't work. It's still in the 'law of attraction' (quoted; The Secret to Teen Power-Paul Harrington)

I mean, if feelings are not mutual, it will be disastrous. it's not love at all, it's just attraction. Out of topic, imagine a president and his military-in-charge. The President wants to conquer a country by war but the military-in-charge (still feels the same way) only wants to spy the country, no harm done. They'll get themselves in deep argument that may lead to a conflict between the two, then a civil war. So personally, I don't think non-mutual feelings can be described as 'love towards a person', but of course, your opinion matters.

So, love do exist. I don't think anyone will disagree after this, and it applies to everyone out there, everyone. No race, background, or origin can prevent anyone 'falling in love'.

of course this argument or belief do not apply to those who change partners as often as they change their clothes, I mean that's just ridiculous.

With love comes great responsibility. (Yes I copied that from a quote)

Consequences like heartbreak; betrayal, loss, hopeless. This may as well happen, as much as we made that particular person 'perfect'. As I said, love isn't just with 'that one special person'. You may not be really clutched with the first person, and then change one after another. but certainly still your choice of person.

I mean one person to one person is not like a puzzle piece that can only be put around 2, 3, 4 or maybe only one other piece. I think it's more like a rubix cube. There are 8 other colours that are the same to you. You maybe alone surrounded by other colours(people) or you can be sticking with one or two other same-colour pieces, but then the cube revolves and you're in a different position. and it will be really difficult to actually make it up to all 9 of you together, then really finding out who's next to you.
