About Love.

*sidetracked* I came across this interesting term 'Limerence' coined by psychologist Dorothy Tennov. And I wonder how many of us are like that.

Love has became a loosely-affirmed word for anything or everything that invokes any sense of liking, to the extent that when we DO love, we have to emphasize our love with additional words like ' I REALLY love him!..' , '...do you love her SERIOUSLY?...' and '..I think I have found my TRUE love!' So when is love fake then? Who is faking love?

My mentor once said, ' Love is love. Just that.'

Could it be the lack of confidence, uncertainty or dishonesty in Love,  that make one needs to reinforce his/her love with such verbal proclaimation?

Love shouldn't even be spoken. I dun start loving someone juz becos she says 'I love u' many times. (this dun applies if you are jessica alba, angelina jolie, jennifer aniston ..etc..) Love is an act of bonding, a display of affection and a concern for each other's well-being. It is best felt, not said. It might be subtle but the traces are there. Feel it. Sweet nothings are juz the dessert, actions ARE the main course. If words do matter so much, Shakespeare would have been one of the biggest lover of all time. (Hmm. But then again he is ugly so...)

I have absolutely nothing against people who lovessss peppering their declaration of love with words that contrived to convince. Heck, I am also a culprit! Like when S told me he REALLY loves J, I believed him. I m SERIOUS. Really.


Cos he said the same thing for the last one too.
