Love In The Air

Well, here we are in February and many people are celebrating St. Valentines. It is a good time to think about love and relationships to put a bit of warmth in our lives after a long winter. Today, I would like to look at what love is. The English language only has one word for love and it is used interchangeably for almost everything. We can say I love my husband and I love Chocolate. 

More than ever before, we're leaving our home towns and even our countries to seek out exciting and rewarding opportunities elsewhere. Fewer and fewer of us grow old in the place where we grew up. We move on to new jobs, new partners, new homes and new lives. We extend our social circle so that it becomes almost physically impossible to keep in touch with everyone we meet. Email helps us to maintain relationships, but there's still no real substitute for a good long chat on the phone - but the more we move, the more likely we are to change our numbers and lose our friends.

Consumer power is growing. That means that we're far more willing than we used to be to change our phone provider, our electricity supplier and our internet connection. Changing numbers and addresses on a regular basis often results in someone not being aware of your new number or your new email and bang! You've lost touch. Our lives are busy and it's easy to leave people behind. If you're the sort of person that religiously files new address cards so that you are up-to-date with your friends' movements, that's great. If you're not quite so organised, it can be easy to lose those new details and be stuck the next time you want to get in touch.

Please fall in love. Please experience the high of love, real passionate love. And please ask your intelligence few questions before deciding to spend life together. Are we suitable for each other? Are our habits similar? Will we give comfort to each other? Are our expectations real and will they get fulfilled? Are we fit to marry each other? Will our love last? Let intelligence play a role along with your love and then decide. You will never have to announce divorce. You will live happily together forever, because you have made a conscious decision after finding out everything.

Our relationship was based on character and friendship which later developed into love. You can say we met each other and we just clicked ;-) (pun intended So, the point is that erotic love is not a deep meaningful love but superficial and based on sexual attractiveness only
