What is love....

Baby don't hurt me...don't hurt me no more. I have to say Haddaway said it best. What is love? The answer is simple. Love is a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person. 2. a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend. Now that's what the dictionary says. My problem is how the word "LOVE" is thrown around like a hanky. Love is not a hanky, you can't just throw it around and use it to your advantage. That's not what love is. I hate it when I see a new couple that have only been dating for a month or so telling each other how much they "love" one another. That's BS! Don't get me wrong I believe in love at first site, but c'mon now...how often does that happen? Not very much. I can understand that when you meet a new person, whether it's a guy or girl, you have all these feelings going on inside you. Kinda makes you feel all bubbly inside. That's the spark or flame or whatever you wanna call it, maybe hormones. It's not love though. It's so easy to tell cause if you really "love" someone then you'll love them no matter what. Whether their short, tall, fat, skinny, white, black, or even Egyptian. Love is a very strong feeling. It makes people laugh, cry, smile or frown. Love can keep a happy home together, but it can also tear it apart. Love doesn't see color, race, religion, politics or any of that crap! Love is continuing. It keeps getting stronger and stronger as time passes. Infatuation consist of people thinking they are in love but when indeed it is just a deep lust or like for another person. And lust is an uncontrolled or illicit sexual desire or appetite, a passionate or overmastering desire or craving. Neither of those are love, as much as we want them to be. Of course us being humans, our human reaction is to always want what we can't have. That's human nature, that's why people always hit on married people. It's the game of trying to get what's not yours. That's a whole different blog though. So before you tell that special person that you've only been dating for about a month that you "love" them. Think about that...do you really? Or are you just thinking with a different part of your body, other than your heart. If your in a relationship and a simple mis-understanding leads to a break up, then it wasn't love. How do I know? Cause love is stronger then a simple min-understanding. Love is one of the most powerful feelings out there! Now if your telling your best friend or your co-worker that you love them, that's a different kind of love. There's only 2 different kinds of love, so don't get em twisted. If you do, it may come back and bite you in the ass later. Just think before you say the word. If it's said to prematurely then you might scare the other person off. Or if the person is a psycho and you tell them you "love" them then later down the road when things don't work out and you try to leave, well now that's when their "psycho" side comes out. "But you said you loved me!" Now...you got problems! Basically just think & listen before you speak. Someone once told me, you have one mouth and two ears. So listen twice as much as you speak.
