Love

1. God’s gift, and Satan’s scourge. 2. The final result of the natural chemical blending of unrelated feelings that one holds toward another, which, once synthesized, create an emotion that is independent of the confines of time or the elements of this existence. Though the vitality of that said emotion inevitably weakens and falters, never does it truly filter. 3. A flawed definition for an emotion which modern society has perverted through practicality. Practicality is reserved for a practical world. And in a practical world, things like love would not exist. No, “love” is rather a definition for the dictionary of one’s heart, not Webster’s. 4. A contradiction, a conundrum cloaked in ambiguity. 5. A pleasant thought in a world filled with terrible ideals. 6. A quagmire of depression from which none can immerge unscathed. 7. A force of nature which, like any other natural phenomenon, cannot be civilized, contained or contended. A force which cannot be controlled, avoided, destroyed or escaped and often results in extreme destruction. 8. A terminal illness; much like cancer in its nature. It starts at the heart, spreads to the soul, before inevitably polluting the mind. To date, the medical community remains baffled as to discovering an effective treatment for this potentially fatal malady, much less a cure. Demographically speaking, the young and the foolish are counted among the most susceptible to contract this disease; and the destitute romantics are considered to be exceptionably vulnerable. 9. A vast unknown frontier of thoughts and feelings which only the most fortunate ever have the opportunity to explore. 10. A resilient, false hope eating parasite, which adopts the human heart as its host.
