A DEFINITION OF LOVE
striving for a deeper meaning of beauty in the person. If this is accomplished, the vanity love is demolished, and a new form of love can take form, admiration.
A person admiration for another gives birth to the final classification. When the admiration takes a new level and an imperfect person is seen perfect, in the eyes of the lover, a true love is shaped. Looking beyond the outer beauty, and projecting the qualities which exist only in their imagination, which have little or no relation to the actual person, gives the person a feeling that luck had to be involved. A kindred soul mate is established and a bond, stronger than any adhesive, is generated. This bond is what holds together the relationship together, even threw the testing times. A true love’s bond will only gain strength and last beyond their mortal lives, but will take on an immortal life of its own.
The meaning of romantic love is not a single one of these, but a journey through all the classifications. A person is first interested in the opposite sex by appearance, and ironically the last stage has little to do with the appearance of the individual. The process between the first and the last stages is an intimidating and magnificent experience. Love comes and goes without the will having any part in the process. The journey jumps from stage to stage in no particular order, until the final bond is created. If the relationship is premature, and the final stage is rushed (marriage) before the bond is strong enough to last, the relationship faces an emending doom that will eventually catch and demolish what was once created. However, a true romantic love will last beyond any conceivable time period, and gives happiness to the couple, that’s unlike any other.
