In & out of love



A lot has been said and written on one of the most complex human phenomena called 'love', & yet, no one knows why we fall in love, or fall out of it.

Subsumed under 'love' is a mother's love for her child, a patriot's love for his country, a messiah's love for his folk & everything which encompasses a selfless act of adulation. For me, thats love in its purest immaculate form.

I am no doctor here to talk of enzymes, stimulus or the brain segment which causes it. But all I want to say is for people 'falling in love' with each other, its only a facade. A charade which is always mutual. They gain some - lose some, give some - take some. The verity so goes, we are all greedy for some support. Its never enough for us. We cling on to each other like symbiotic parasites, & when the sweet stuff is all over, let loose.
Its human, & I'm no log here. But for people in love, they'd always demur.

I have seen people going crazy - laughing it up, crying it out, ambivalent & pertinaciuous. Something was always right & concomitantly something was always wrong. It was spicy. It was exciting. I was always in a quandary, wondering if they were on either side of the thin line which divides being dissatisfied & being unsatisfied. But like I said, its only a facade. No sooner, ennui uproots the blossoming flower, & everything withers away to a salvo of expletives.

So heres the point:
Deep inside, we are greedy.
Deep inside, we crave for attention.
Deep inside, we need another brain to dump our garbage.
Deep inside, we are only a species who yearn to mate.

But 'love', so to speak, is only a primordial human impulse. And thats the way we lose paradise. Or in some cases, seize it.

Congrats on u'r blog and it seems to be a well kept secret.
Man we love to keep secrets deep down our heart but the craving remains to reveal them and we do so in front of our beloved and mind u the term beloved here is totally contextual. "The one we love" it can be anyone.

Really a nice thought that you have put up.
