Love
"Love is free. It's the only thing you can give, yet still keep." -Mrs. Maria Ho
"If love is free, does it make it less precious?" -Chuw
Is love free? In quantifiable terms, yes. Love will never run out. It will always be there as long as humans have a heart. But whether if you can get it for free without any work done, i don't think it's that free. There seems to be two types of love. 1. Love at first sight (personally i don't believe in that. as yet) 2. Love that is cultivated over time.
Let's talk about the latter.. I guess some of our have already had our unique experiences and beautiful memories. Love is pretty amazing=D When i love, i don't know where it all comes from. But once love starts flowing, it never seems to cease.(disregarding other external influences)
To me, love takes a combination of elements to happen.. Let's examine my love potion recipe! =D
Ingredients: Fate. Haha.. that's all=) If you were thinking of say nice character, nice personality, nice looks, etc. Probably you might want to look further.
Fate determines if both your lives could cross paths at certain parts of your lives.. It determines the environment, the situations and the experiences that would allow love to blossom. Lastly, it determines whether sparks would fly=) you might figure that you would prefer a certain type of partner with certain qualities.. but more often than not, you'll get swept over by someone whom you really never expected. All those list of qualities take back seat. What matters is not how that person fits into each and every of our "quality" lists. It's how somehow two individuals clash together and produce sparks! no one instigated it. no one planned it. (except probably cupid!) Love comes and goes uncontrolled.. So listen softly when it knocks on your door.. But it goes, it's not the end of the world.. Look around.. the next person you'll fall in love with may just be right next to you=D
well, i hope everyone would find their right one one day=D meanwhile, mug for EOIs! haha.. i know it's anit-climax but heh. that's just a dose of reality=D
Bye!
