Love is a fallacy

The great act of loneliness is being in the state of tactful maturity knowing that Love is a Fallacy. Just when you thought love conquers all things, just when you thought Love creates a universe; it was all but wishful thinking. If you meet someone, a stranger for instance, how would you recognize your feeling towards the person? Your first impression creates the final judgment on what is he going to be in your life, isn’t it ironic? If you think you are in a state of love-at-first-site, you better dig behind your consciousness on whether you experienced only a snapshot of your lustful intuition. If you know that what you’re feeling towards the person is only short lived, it is therefore a fallacy to say, “I love you” at first glance. 

In one article I read from a magazine called Kerygma, the writer said “Real Love is an act of will, a conscious choice, an action. That is because very often, a genuinely loving person uses real love, not emotions, to motivate himself into action. Love isn’t a feeling then” 

I noticed that many people has each own meaning of Love. In this example, the writer points to the fact that Love is only a verb. Someone once told me that I have a little heart of stone because I am incapable of showing my love, and that I have a cold heart because I cannot express my feelings into actions. I have one question though- where should I put this verb from these miles in between us? This, being literally said, is impossible and I cannot gasp the essence of love being a verb form in this long distance situation. If love is only a feeling, you believe that when you’re hungry love will keep you alive. (Murag kanta man ni ngeets ..hehe ^_^ ) In the real world, hell only knows how real love works. When you are in love, you either utter or listen only to sweet nothings. In so many adjectives, you describe how you feel yet you only mean one thing, and that is keeping the flame alive just for the sake of loving. It is pathetic how we need to do so many things just to satisfy this verb we call Love, whereby we can just instead bypass the tedious part with a laconic expression of Faith. 

Thus, Love is a fallacy without Faith. 

It is by faith where love can be measured. If patience is a virtue, then Faith is a wisdom that overcomes the many meanings of Love.
