What is love?

I'll first talk about what Love is not..
Love is not a feeling because if it was then 90% of the people I know would be classified as "out of love".
The sad thing is that people still think that love is a feeling..to them love ends when the feeling is gone..I guess that explains why 50% of marriages end in divorce.
Love is not a feeling in as much as not every paper is money.
For paper to be money it must go through a specified quality process and printed all sorts of things, to qualify as money. The Quality checks and the specialised print gives it value which then qualifies it as money/cash..
In the same way, love attains its value from all the extra special things that a lover would do to appreciate the object of his affection. No pun intended.

Love is not a feeling in as much as paper is not money.
Love is an attraction towards another coupled by the choice and commitment to stay in the relationship even when things are not as rosy as they were in the beginning.
Based on this explanation I would define love as not the feeling of attraction but love as the maturity to remain devoted despite the wordly attractions.
Love is the wisdom to seek sincerity over infactuation.
Love is not a passing phase, nor is it stagnant. Love grows as people within the relationship also grow. Love just like a good bottle of wine matures with age, the longer it sits the better it tastes.
Love comes with the knowledge that a dented container does not necessarily mean spoiled contents because your package content may not necessarily be food.
Your contents may be of a long lasting nature and not as easily perishable as your common consumables.
Your duty in love is to find out what contents are your container and to reconcile the order placed and order delivered columns.
If no match is found, then you need to ask yourself if you can live with the discrepancy, if not then quickly discard without looking back. As you are doing this make sure that your assessment of the content is valid and that it was not based on superficial standards that have no bearing on quality loving.

If there is a match, then why wait for the opportunity to slip through your fingers?
Why wait to see if anybody else can spot your jewel before deciding on whether to keep it or not?
If you don't have the lotto IQ to know when you have hit the jackpot, then maybe you shouldn't be playing the game of love cause love only comes to those who seek it and to those who are wise enough to recognise the train for what it is and to stop it in its tracks just in time to catch a ride. I have played the lottery before and because I am not a lottery person, the two times that I have bought the ticket, I forgot to check if I had the winning numbers nor remebered where I had placed the lotto tickets. Not checking the winning numbers means that even if I win, chances are I may forfeit the prize by not claiming it. If that's the case, why continue playing the lotto and this is why I stopped playing.
I realised that there are three ways to win in the gambling game, Yeah love is a gamble, you were hoping that I wouldn't say it, but this blog is about the truth and I am gonna dish it out like never before...So here it goes
First, you must know your game really well and if you don't then you must develop interest in the game, do whatever it takes to learn the rules so you can increase your chances of winning.
Secondly, there are other methods of gambling that are more suited to your nature. Instead of adapting to the game, let the game adapt to you. Find a suitable game type for your taste.
Thirdly, Don't be quick to quit just because things are not going right for you in the beginning, simply apply persistence and calculated patience to your game strategy, and before long the prize will be in the bag

I know that love is a very sensitive subject to many(more to women than men because women feel that love is a losing game) and if you are a female reading this and asking yourself when love is coming your way, the answer is simply..which direction are you looking?
If you have always been checking west, maybe it's time to check east? If you have been looking down, maybe it's time you looked up, vice versa..Downgrade..Upgrade..do whatever it takes to get the match right. Take out your partner attribute wish list to check whether your list is still relevant.
Yesterday's taste may not be the same as today's because you may have grown or shrunk drastically and your wish list should reflect the changes in order to accomodate your rightful partner who could have undergone a similar transition. But you might just miss him and not catch him if you are using yesterday list to catch a today man.

What are you waiting for..Go and update your list right now..Don't wait another minute.

Adios!
