This essay I wrote when I was in high school. While being in love, of course…

Can you guess what is “ageless”, “blind”, what “hurts”, is “stronger than death and is not found in the market?

Yes, you are right! That’s all about love.

Nobody can explain what exactly love is. Is it a flame burning in the heart? Or is it a passion which does not acknowledge the past and the future? Or is it a kind of mental disorder?

They say there are different kinds of love and never the same twice. True, dictionaries do try to define what different kinds of love have in common and normally label it as a “warm kind feeling”, “deep fondness”, “affectionate and tender devotion for”, or “intense emotional attachment to another person”, which are based on either “personal or familiar ties” or “intense sexual attractions”. For me, however, love above all is a divine sacred feeling.

No matter whether it is requited or not, love feels an individual with high and reverent emotions to inspire him or her to creativity or action.

I do believe that a man’s soul is revealed in love. Love has been in fact for most men at all times the secret motive for all they do.

It is known that some psychologists and philosophers believe us, human beings, to be evil and good, or in other words to be bundles of both evil and good potentialities. Others see people as essentially constructive in their fundamental nature, but damaged or warped by their life difficulties. Some scientists argue whether human nature contains evil, but in my opinion, every man was born to be good and kind.

We are created by God to love and to be loved.

When in love we see the world and people around us wonderful. When in love we tend to think happy thoughts, which makes us more generous, more eager and willing to help others.

When in love we tend to dream all kinds of dreams and those, who dream most, psychologists say, achieve most, and thus our visions of ourselves that we dream of becoming, are most likely to be fulfilled.

Love is known to be the mother of life and smile to trigger a smile in emotional response, making us believe, at least for a short while, this world to be a wonderful place to live in.

So, I want to be in love and what about you?
