On Love

Love is...

...well, it's a comparative concept.

Scientifically, it's nothing but chemicals in your brain going crazy along with the hormones in your body. But, there must be a reason for this to occur. After all nothing happens without a rhyme or reason.

First of all, what is love? (Not related: ' Haddaway - What is Love')

It's a relapsing and recurring phenomenon. Most of us had a taste of it, some of us regretted it, some of us loved it.


I said "nothing happens without rhyme or reason" and that is completely true, but I believe the reasons for this particular phenomenon are hidden really really deep inside of us. And even if we were to see those reasons, we'd probably never accept them. Love may be a strong signal for us to reproduce. And it probably is.


However, rational persona always defames love. Simply because it confuses them. And it scrambles everything they rely on; logic, calm and calculated manners, the distance they keep, the poker-face they always carry proudly, the prideful needlessness of any kind of interaction, etc...

The same reason causing rational persona to defame love, is the exact same reason for unrational persona to deify it. They love it, because they like the sensations of it. The letting loose, loss of control, the unnecessariness of having solid reasons. It can even become an excuse for some behaviour they show.

Just like adrenaline junkies, there are people who chase this state too. Just like chasing a high, they chase love, and after sometime when they're finally sane and back to normal again, they become unhappy and move on to another one. They consume relationships, feelings, secrets, intimacy, personality, everything. They consume and they move on.

I won't criticize them for I can empathize them. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just a choice.

However, theoretically, I do know a more precious form of love. The platonic love.
You can't consume it, you can't touch it, you can't do anything apart from feeling it. It can be painful, even maybe too painful to endure. But, then again, theoretically, I think it's the ultimate form love.

Personally I find it impossible to keep such strong feelings hidden for long periods of time, therefore I think it takes more than everything to be able to wilfully forbidding yourself of such thing. And I do think the only way to deal with it, regardless of who you are, is to find a proper way to consume it.
