Some people highly disagree with me when I say that love is the same whomever you love. Now I do agree that the way you love different people/things, isn’t the same, but love in its purest form cannot hold different meanings… at least not to me. I am, fortunately, not going to discuss that tonight. Tonight I’m philosophizing about falling in love. Now here’s a question I really want an answer to. I honestly honestly want you guys’ thoughts on this. So please answer this question! Do you think it’s important to fall in love during your lifetime? And if so, then why?
I have thought about this and I wonder of the exact meaning of falling in love, how long it’s supposed to last, and if it is something vital in our lives. Those emotions… do we need them? And I wonder if there’s anyone in this world who has never fallen [or will ever fall] in love. But I guess that question is going to be left unanswered…
They say it’s better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. Is that true? Isn’t it worse… cuz if you have loved, and lost, then you remember how it felt and you miss it – but if you don’t even know how it feels… well then there’s nothing to miss… or is there? I mean… I don’t know… it all kinda resembles gambling to me. And gambling is baaaad. Hey I’m clueless *innocent eyes*, enlighten me!

It’s not important, but when you fall in love, you gonna love every single moment and smile even without reasons.
you will realize your worth and your partner will make you feel important. You’ll begin to cherish life even more. Millions of points are there, these were just a few. Fall in true love, and it will make you love life.
You said “you will realize your worth and your partner will make you feel important”… so you mean getting involved with someone and then falling in love with him
?
lol.. no, i mean if at all you fall in love, you will get to know
and, i think its important
Hahahahahah okay
.
LOL. well good question. I believe that its not person you should initially fall ‘in love’ with…the mind is a very strange thing..when you already picture what type of person you want and the looks, traits, etc..&you supposedly find that person you might think you are in ‘love’ but then you find their faults, other complications and such, the whole image gets ruined. You should try to search for more than just a person to love..i mean, it might be hard to understand or explain, but you should love the most perfect ONE..yea, I mean God…since God already plans who you will marry and how many kids you’ll have, the amount of food you will get, and amount of money…so leave it to HIM and everything else will fall into place. Trust me, its just a waste of time trying to figure out these questions…stuff will happen and you wont even know how…but it was by the Grace of Allah. Don’t try to wait to fall in love with someone, just concentrate on perfecting yourself {i try this by focusing on Islam and how a human should be like…still a long way to go but it gets easier}…leave life to the one who gave you it. People will come and go.
if you love someone for God’s sake than it will truly count.
Ugh… this is the problem with blogging; people get personal
. This has nothing to do with me… I simply want to know if those feelings are important or not. And I think that you love your partner regardless… falling in love and loving is not exactly the same thing you know. Cuz if you live with someone for years without loving him, or without loving him for the sake of Allah, then um… maybe you aren’t with the right person? So as I wrote in the beginning, it’s not LOVE I’m talking about… and it’s not ME I’m talking about either 
.
oh, then i am confused LOLOLOL
Lol and now I am confused :-S.
But then again you’re thinking about it. Pity that you advise me not to think about it and then you start researching on it.
Yeah but it’s not about me. I’m just curious about what you guys think… like what kinda imprint it leaves on you, and whether or not it’s necessary for survival :-/.
Well, if you are prepared to face heartaches initially, go ahead.
Just remember your feelings may not be reciprocated always.
But Its all worthwhile in the end.

You’re right. I’ve always seen that the one who loves most gets hurt most.
Well that’s common sense isn’t it? If you love someone you care about that person… if a stranger on the street starts fighting with you [unless you get seriously injured] you wouldn’t take it as personally as you would if a loved one does.

I agree with the first guy commented on this post. It’s not important. But someday you will fall in love. You may fail to understand that you’re in love, but you will be. And when you will be, and more importantly when your love is with you, you’ll suddenly see everything becoming beautiful.
The question is how long you can make that last.
So you mean everybody falls in love sometime in their lives? Even miserable arranged marriage parents :-/?
Herein Egypt, they always go like “Oh ! Love comes after marriage, it will come when you spend a lifetime with that husband/wife” yet, I am not willing to take the shot. I mean, I should at least LIKE the guy before getting married to him. *Hmph* and I also agree that you do not have to necessarily fall in love but when you do, its beautiful
It’s very much possible that after living with someone for a certain amount of time, you begin to care for that person… so much that you could eventually say that you love him. But yeah, there is no guarantee that you’ll fall in love with him… despite loving him. So I’m not willing to take the risk either. If I’m to spend the rest of my life with someone, having a family with him, it’s important I feel he’s my husband and not just some relative.
Yes, even miserable arranged marriage parents, too. Maybe they didn’t realize, they didn’t care, or they chose not to care because they thought it wouldn’t work out, but they did sometime.
Hmm… interesting thought! Wonder if you’re right…
Fall in love with someone or with something. I know people who have worked for a cause with a passion bringing a great deal of good into the world whilst never having another person in their lives in that way. They are old now and unlikely ever to have that special person yet they are still as passionate about that cause (like working at LAMB here in Bangladesh) as they ever were. I don’t think they’ve missed out to be honest…
Wow… you have given me a completely different perspective on the matter. Thanks! I will think more about this, there will be a follow-up regarding the comments I’ve received for this post.
Oh excellent! That pleases me – it is great when you think that your comments have contributed towards another post!
Yeah… that’s what blogging should be about; discussion and more discussion… that leads to enlightenment!
If you ask me, loving is something that comes to us naturally. Because that is one emotion predominantly present in our lives since our birth. Like you said, love, in its purest form, does not have different implications. Love just is. About falling in love…I don’t really like that particular phrase. Whether loving is necessary, I wonder if we have a choice. Love is an energy, an emotion that connects all of us. Or atleast that’s what I believe.
Yeah… but you know “falling in love”, infatuation, is well… you can’t really be infatuated with everyone you love
.
I agree. I was just referring to love as an emotion. If you’re talking about the whole love-relationship aspect, I’d say it is not necessary to fall in love. But then, it’s life. Always good to know what the experience is like.
Hear hear!
