my little thoughts

The problem with love is not that nobody understands it. It's not that it's confusing. The problem is that we all think superficially that love merely depends on or is reflected by how we feel.. I call these Feelings of Love. Feelings can change in a split second and it can never be fully understood, especially when it's mixed up. When you think of Love as merely a Feeling, you don't understand love, because you don't understand feelings. Try to look at feelings as triggers or switches which activate love. When you can understand this, you will see that love is actually about giving comfort and joy to the person that we love. And you will stop trying to satisfy your Feelings of Love and start being mindful of your thoughts and intentions.. You will be careful not to let your mind and feelings deceive and control you. When a person loses the Feelings of Love, he/she will usually say, "I do not love you anymore." and demands a break up. However, a person who fully understands the concept of love and doesn't depend merely on feelings to measure his/her love will continue to give joy and comfort to the person that he/she loves. Now, when it comes to romantic love, this topic becomes different because of our mindset, which describes this type of relationship a special type of relationship. In this context, the Feelings of Love are naturally stronger because of hormonal triggers. However, in truth, romantic love is the same as any other types of love, with exception of sexual contact and the concept of marriage.
