notes about love

I picked up an article about how relationships have become disposable, and here are my comments to the question "DOES LOVE DIE?"

Love does die, like every other 'living' thing. When cared for, it will flourish, when left, it will wither away, when 'fighting for space', it will struggle and if the fight gets too much, it will give up, not always by choice.

Love is very delicate. She arrives silently and leaves the same way.
Sometimes we think people marry because of love - because why else right?
Well, there are many facets of love and obvious reasons may not be the real reason – which usually resides in our subconscious mind. It sounds complicated and may even put some people off this drug. With that, I don’t mean cliché love – I’m referring to true love.

Some people may suddenly realize they are in love and then just as quickly, fall out of love. Some people decide that it’s time they fell in love and so they do. Some people just make the best of their current circumstances and slip love somewhere in between; only to realize it doesn’t fit after some time. It’s common, hence the high divorce rates.

This doesn't mean we should give up on love entirely. It's intriguing to us because love itself is evasive. If it were so easy to understand, we wouldn’t be half as interested that we end up having many articles written about it.

Love is not a Valentines Day commodity, neither is it a Christmas present – it doesn’t come gift-wrapped – it’s not an emotion that can be exchanged, or bought.
We cannot choose when or who we love.

Love chooses us.
Does that mean we have no say? No choice? What does that really mean?

It simply means, when we want to be the driver to an unfamiliar destination, we better have good directional sense. Otherwise, use a street directory.
