love is....

just dont know what this is all about but i guess you guys can make it out.

what is love??

such a difficult question eh?

how many attempts have been made

just to find an answer??

 

but all was in vain,

it went to whoever needed to define it

finding their own definitions,

some end up lying

 

I hear

love is blind?

love is affection?

love is infectious?

 

and the best of all,

i hear

love is the sensation that developes

when MR or MS right appears?

what if they don't??

what about the love for your parents??

are they also the MR and MS right?

 

well i took it in my own hands to also have a go

at defining it,

love is seeing what matters in a person.

 

Author's Note

i dont know where this idea came from, but hey gues thats what poetry is all about right?? correct me if am wrong in any way.

You have some questions that spark the mind to think eh. Yet how can we say love is one emotion when we love our parents and then love our lovers and children, for we can't love them the same way right hahaha love has different shadings like the love for our parents and kids is totally different then loving your partner and as you said seeing what matters in a person pretty strong complex feeling, for this is a topic that can bring many discussions to come foruth, good read though as always keep writing fellow writer

I am also thinking about posting my guess at love as well, and I am so awed at how everyone has there unique take
I enjoyed this poem a lot, thanks for sharing.

this is intriguing i think that people are afraid to ask what love is and give superficial answers. love is powerful. very well penned.

Love is definitely seeing what matters in a person, because we protect those precious things that matter. I think defining love--or at least giving ourselves an idea of it, is a healthy way to better find what we are looking for. You've written wise words, my friend. Thanks for sharing!

[luviva]

thank you so muchhh for the review

One of the biggest questions of all, love is not something we can fashion, it is very incidental

[luviva]

i agree with you all the way!

Aspects of institutions

Although individual, formal organizations, commonly identified as "institutions," may be deliberately and intentionally created by people, the development and functioning of institutions in society in general may be regarded as an instance of emergence; that is, institutions arise, develop and function in a pattern of social self-organization, which goes beyond the conscious intentions of the individual humans involved.
As mechanisms of social interaction, institutions are manifest in both formal organizations, such as the U.S. Congress, or the Roman Catholic Church, and, also, in informal social order and organization, reflecting human psychology, culture, habits and customs, and encompassing subjective experience of meaningful enactments. Most important institutions, considered abstractly, have both objective and subjective aspects: examples include money and marriage. The institution of money encompasses many formal organizations, including banks and government treasury departments and stock exchanges, which may be termed, "institutions," as well as subjective experiences, which guide people in their pursuit of personal well-being. Powerful institutions are able to imbue a paper currency with certain value, and to induce millions into cooperative production and trade in pursuit of economic ends abstractly denominated in that currency's units.[citation needed] The subjective experience of money is so pervasive and persuasive that economists talk of the "money illusion" and try to disabuse their students of it, in preparation for learning economic analysis.[citation needed]

there are different rooms in the heart. each chamber is responsible for some kind of love. romantic love is different than love for parents...romantic love is what was meant to be blind...
