SPEAK OF LOVE Adrian A.

Jimenea Everybody goes through that stage of life when you see other people in a rather different perspective. Its that peculiar feeling you get just by one glimpse of his or her face. Its feeling your blood rushing sternly through your veins just by hearing his or her voice. It is the sensation of having your heart bend over backwards and feel butterflies flutter in your stomach just by hearing his or her name. Lo and beholdthe idyllic and blissful feeling of LOVE. Humans as we are, we ought to feel attraction towards the opposite sex. While some quiver behind the vast bloom fields of books and quotes and bury their eyes on the reaction of substances when mixed, others decide to explore and feel the sensuous pleasures and delights of being in love and being loved back. Experiencing this kind of attraction opens avenues for us to develop ourselves. It gives us the impeccable opportunity to enhance social graces and develop moral values that could be learned outside the four corners of the classroom. We cannot live life fully without the company of another. No man is an island, so they say. At some point even the ancient Greeks saw this bit of reality romantic: According to Greek mythology, humans were originally created with four arms, four legs and a head with two faces. Fearing their power, Zeus split them into two separate parts, condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other halves. This gives a profound explanation why we cannot truly say that we have lived life to its fullest. We cannot live life without other people. So you see? This great feeling of love towards each other gives us ideal results among others. It is that far-fetched feeling of being in love and being loved in return. And in the deepest sense of realizing that we are all entangled intangibly but nonetheless with meaning and depth, there is no way that we cannot attain the purest sense of harmony. This explains that all things are still within the reach of each other so that when you hurl a ripple outwards, you get wedged in the ripple yourself; so that when you love another person, you inevitably love yourself, too. As Buddha quotes, If you see yourself in others, who then can you harm? And who then can you not love?
