But there is one
quantity that’s impossible to measure. Each one of us knows it, some find it
stupid, some are enthralled by it, but none of us has been able to escape it.
It is the feeling of love, that we feel for our family, our friends, and
ultimately, for our life partner. Years of scientific research on why we feel
what we feel has led us to believe that it is actually a chemical combination
of hormones that makes us love someone. Another explanation for why our parents
love us so much is that because we are an extension of their DNA, the parent
DNA loves the child DNA, feels hurt when the child is hurt, angry when the
child is in danger, and concerned when the child is upset. This article isn’t a
result of any research or sudden epiphany, but just like all of my write ups,
is a culmination of a passing thought materialising into words.
All of us are
familiar with the basic protocol for romance – you see someone, you like them,
you approach them, you become friends, you get to know them better, and once
you’re sure of things, you tell them how you feel about them. If the feeling is
mutual you’re the luckiest bastard on the planet, if it’s not, well, there’s
always a next time, isn’t it?
More often, one of the two persons is twice their projected size! |
As lame and
downright cowardly as it seems, it sure is a fool proof way of not getting
slapped in the face or laughed at if the person who’s asking is shy. However,
most of the teenage romances these days have a similar start to their story.
Whether or not they stand the test of time depends on who they’re in a
relationship with and how serious they are about each other.
Almost all online
romances end terribly, mostly because people aren’t the same in real life as they
project themselves online. But then, everyone deserves one chance at happiness,
and sooner or later you’ll get that person you’ve envisaged in your mind,
online or offline!
Kind of gooey, isn't it? |
There is no logical explanation as to why
we do the craziest things for the dumbest reasons, but as long as we do those things for those we truly want to spend our lives with, we’ve already defined the real meaning
of love without even understanding it ourselves!
