Is love a mere illusion or an extended
state of happiness yearned by the solitary mind longing for companionship from
similarly equipped minds? The notion of love arises from the need for
acceptance among the societal elements. Forced or otherwise, wedlock for most
is the respectable place to look for love. Sometimes it exists and majorly is
believed to exist. So what, is love? A chiseled body with perfect display of
the sinews and bountiful blessing of fat are supposedly the prerequisites for
love to blossom. This blossom grows into a beautiful flower and one day will
have to wilt and fall to only be replaced with another blossom! If nature's
nature is to change over time, then is love not party to this change? Then what
is love? Lust is love. If it weren't, then why would lust ever make room in the
minds of those in 'love'? Physical attributes and mental intelligence are polar
opposites. It is only fair to want both in the desired lover. It is not
considered love by most if physical attributes are the basis for attraction,
for they change over time. But is it love if the all-knowing mind changes? To
love someone's mind is more dangerous than loving them for their looks. The
mind changes every smallest unit of time. Technically, so does love. Now, what
is love? How is it pure representation of the heart's truest emotion if it is
only imagined, as in the case of forced marriages? What is the measure of the
purity of love if it acquires a new flavour at the sight of every new person?
How can love be unending if it is different every instant? So, isn't love a
mere illusion, in the hope to fulfill the heart's desires of being wanted?
