A Phenomenology of Love

love can take on many forms and may have many ways of manifesting itself to the one it chooses. Most lovers start out as friends, while others begin in the blink of an eye, or as they say, "Love at first sight." Some start out as textmates, penpals, phonepals, the internet or even personal ads in newspapers. People may be involved, many people, in the birth of a love affair. Nevertheless, all share the same feelings, however long or short the time it took them to fall for each other. However, not all affairs end up in long-time relationships. A good many people may think that they love somone, but after some time realize that they where only infatuated and do not really love that person. Some even maistake sexual attraction with love. Love and sex are not the same. Sex is just a process of reproduction, scientifically speaking. It is the art of multiplying. Love is entirely a different thing. Some say that there could be no love without sex. But certainly, there could be a lot of sex without involving love! Some may find that they are not compatible or they don't have that certain chemistry that makes them go well together. Others value there freedom too much to give it up by having a relatonship. They may feel like they are being held up by the relationship. Still, some fear of being hurt because they think love and pain are two different things but cannot be separated. To them, tnere could be no love without pain. Others take it to the point that they seem to have no capacity of loving anyone at all, because of this fear of being hurt.

But some people are enjoying the benefits of being in love with someone or being loved by someone. Love is a wonderful thing for those who experienced it in full. They are able to withstand the pain that comes with loving the person simply because they love that person and understand that sometimes pain is a part of love. Some say that love conquers all and I personally believe it. If you really love someone you will be able to see beyond the superficial or outer layer of things and take a deeper look at the real situation. They are able to understand each other. And that understanding is what keeps them going, striving for the good of each other. True love does not look for any faults but readily accepts the person for who and what he or she is. That I think, is what makes these lovers weather out the the storms in their lives and go on for another day.
