Love is...

This was a rant I had one day.

Love is different. All other emotions simply exist and when they appear, they don't last long. Anger fades, sadness lifts, jealousy cools, sympathy passes. But love... it seems eternal. Someone can think that they don't love anymore, but it's not true. Once love has flourished, it cannot die. Of course, if it has never bloomed for a person, then they can't know love until they finally do experience it. Love is permanent, unyielding, unconditional.

Because of this, some wish they had never encountered love to start with. Some try to avoid it altogether. It's a shame, really. When love is right, it is sweet, sharing, everything like the fairy tales. Unfortunately, the love that most people suffer through is wrong, dark. People love for the wrong reasons- because they don't want to hurt the person they "love", sex, a baby, safety, to hide something... None of them are good reasons on any planet, no matter what set of morals you have, or what religion (or lack of religion) you seem to follow. Love today, for most, isn't love.

Love should be binding, almost to the point of death. That's the point. But no one seems to see that, give up after such a short try. As if no one really cares. No one ever really cares.

Love is supposed to be different, but nobody treats it like it is. To everyone else in the world, love is a passing emotion. It doesn't last long.

Love isn't just a passing emotion. Once it appears it will never vanish and it's true that sometimes we really wish it would. I love this :) good job~
