On love...

I was once asked, what will I follow, my heart or my head? In the context of commitment love of course, not neccesarily family love or friendship. It was such an easy question for me, back then when I was so cynical and naive about the whole concept. I answered the question with both. I thought it was so easy to follow your heart and the same time consider the factors, whether finacial or what not. Now, I've learned that the decision is not something that you can make in just 10 minutes. I believe, once in love, there will be a war. A mental war between the divinely bestowed natural instinct of compassion and love, and the socially adapted idea of acceptance, social code and discrimination in this superficial society, or just plain practicality. Though sometimes the heart has a bigger voice and influence on us, we are constantly tugged by the fear of instability. Of course, we are taught to follow what is true in our heart and by what other people say. Thus we are left to believe that our feelings of compassion are more massive. But are these feelings that important? What if they are just effects of chemical triggers inside our body? chemical reocurrence that blinds us to see the reality and the future?

Love in fact, is a very powerful matter, given to us for a particular reason. One question I would like to pose is: Is love just an obstacle in life, socially adapted as a requirement and code of acceptance in our society, in short, overrated? Maybe we are placed in this world not to fall in love but to love one another as bretherens. Furthermore, maybe marriage is not really that important. So many people are imprisoned by unhappy commitment; imprisoned by spousal abuse, adultery, fear of being alone....I am not actually cynical about love, but my intentions lie basically on sharing the thoughts that are lingering in my mind.

But still, I would like you to think about it.....
