What Gender Is Your Brain?

Love? Is there such a word? Is there such a feeling? Maybe not. But what are its effects? Nobody can ever say for sure. For me, I guess I have experienced its aura, so to speak. I'm sure everybody has.

It's comparable. There are after all many types of love. Be it family, parental, or BGR. Maybe the last type will be experienced last in line in a person's life. But yes, for many of us here, we are fortunate to have the first two and often enough, we take it for granted. We treat it as if it's supposed to be there each and every day that we live, not realising that so much as God's proverbial finger snap can immediately take away the lives of those we love deeply.

But at this supposed stage of life, we are not expected to feel it. Those who do are labelled as infatuation. Yes. It may be true. But after a while, or at least getting the prescribed feeling more than once, you seem to be able to differentiate between the 'mock' and the real thing. Then again, biasness may get in the way. So then, if it is not us to judge for ourselves, and others constantly do not bother about it, then who is it that says, "Hey! You're in love!"?

Nobody does that. Nobody I've known so far at least. It's a process, not a one-stop thing. It's not after, say, 3 days after you meet the person, you start to like the person. I don't thing it works that way. It's more like after a long period of time of getting to know the person's likes and dislikes, preferences and hates, personality and yada yada, then maybe, you can say for sure that you might start liking the person.

But then again, to love a person, it is equally ironic and oxymoronic that you say you like a person for his/her looks or his/her particular personality. Because loving a person has to come with the whole package, and that includes accepting the weaknesses as much as embracing the person's strengths. There's not much of a choice here, unless of course, the choice of completely backing out and finding someone new.
