Description
Get in touch with me on facebook, if you like :]Updated on 8/31/2012: Finally got to remaking this piece in higher resolution. I replaced some words with ones that I think fit much better, found a better font, and redid the background. Let me know what you think! :]
================================================
Yes, this is more of a philosophical matter. Ahhh...philosophy...
For those of you who need a few hints with the meaning behind this, here are some basic ideas:
1. Love at first sight doesn't exist.
2. Love is difficult to spot.
3. Blinded by love.
4. Look closely and you will find love.
Hmm...that's all I can think of right now. XD I'd like to see what others have to say about this. :] I'm sure there are people who would disagree with this sentiment.
----------------------------------------------------------
What others (people like yourselves. ;]) have contributed that I hadn't thought of, or are worded more expertly than my meager thrown-together phrases:
5. Love is the last thing that's noticed. (~SiLenT-Snake & ~LiberateTheShyness )
6. One must go through all of the beginning phases before reaching love. (~crimsonregret76 & ~Snoosmumrik )
7. Love is closer than you think. (~No-U-Turn )
8. Love comes last. (~007-BloodyAlaizabel )
9. One needs to spend time to discover love. (~fluffycatgirl )
10. Love is buried under shallow depths and is the deepest feeling. (~1q2w3e4r5t6y )
11. It is not love until you see and experience everything before it. (~elanitakira )
12. Love is only found by those who look for it; it can be hidden under other things. (~cathuhhrine )
& Sagely words:
Love can be buried in shallower feelings,
Love can be impure,
Love can be the only pure thing,
Love can be hidden.
(~hystericritic )
Feel free to add in your comments & opinions, feelings & thoughts. :]

Very good. Perhaps it could be saying that love isn't always clear

well, apparently i was a jerk, and made you a victim of a "fav and run" but i have to say that this is still one of my favorite pieces from deviant art. you really captured an idea, and you involved so many people by allowing them to interput it in so many different ways. i'm glad i faved this, and i love it just as much now as when i did

Haha. "Fav and run." Haven't heard that one before. XD
Thankss!~~ I always think it's great to get input and opinions from others, especially on such an abstract topic (love). It's amazing that there are so many different possibilities and ideas.

Wow, I loved this.
I guess love is only found by those who look for it, since it can be hidden by so many things.

Thanks~~
Hmmm...That's true. But then again, sometimes one might not even be looking, but it might spring on them! D: heh. XD Thanks for the comment~~

Haha, "It is not love until you see and experience everything before it" I dunno, just some random gibberish
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oohhh. That's great! I've never really thought about it, but I somewhat agree with it. :] Gibberish? Of course not.
Thanks for taking the time to comment~

I know the line "Love can be buried in shallower feelings" all too well. Unfortunately, there are times when feelings deepen at different rates for different people, and sometimes, one can be left stuck in the depths when those who only play in the shallows have moved on.
Oh, I know, you could add that love is the deepest feeling. (Not sure whether this is true, but...)

Of course, I could be wrong, but that, what I posted earlier, is just the way I'm seeing things at the moment.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I was wrong.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nahhh. You're not wrong. I don't think there's a right or wrong answer about this. Everyone just sees it differently, & the topic is too broad & complex to be understood by one mind.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
There can be so many interpretations of this. You throw the message to the reader...very interesting!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh. There can be many interpretations of virtually anything, since everyone is so diverse and different. :] It's amazing to see all the possibilities!

I think this is really clever! And I really like how you put "love" at the very end, the hardest one to see. Nice
Good thing for full view, cuz I just spent so a lotta time drawing something, so my eyes are really blurry
You definitely have imagination.

Hehe. Thank you.
XP Oi I know how that is. If I spend too much time staring at the computer screen, my vision goes blurry. XD

How about physical attraction and sexual desire is easily found where the deeper feelings are often overlooked and ignored? *shrugs*
It's a very good piece though! Favourite I think.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ooh. That's good, too!
To the shrug: Hey, at least you gave it a shot. 8]
Thank you very much!

just thought id mention, this would be awesome if it was available as a print. be really cool to have on a wall. i would get it if i had the money and eventually i will
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha. Yeahhh! I think it would totallyyy be awesome on a wall. xP Then I'd confuse my guests, and bring a copy of it over to the local optometrist for an upgrade.

I really like this idea. It's very thought provoking. Call me crazy, but this is something I could imagine on my wall.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aw. Thanks so much!~ Hehe. I love invoking though in others. 
Thank you for taking the time to comment!

Stuck at a thought/trying to think? Well...in the case of this eye chart based thing, sure, some people may be permanently blind and therefore won't be able to see love. (Though I'm sure they'd be able to feel it.)
But for those who aren't able to see love, I'm sure they'd be able to get some aid of sort that will help them see/find love better. :] (glasses.
It's allegorical. :] Symbolic & literal.]
Hehe. Thanks for commenting. :]
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i can see your point, but you also have to think about why the person can't see love. is it because he refuses to see it? or he simply is not looking correctly but still strives to find it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm...That's a really good question. It could be possible that he is in denial, or could be stopping himself from falling in love. Or the other. XP Hehe. Having these "debates" are always fun. :]

Great job...it's an interesting concept.
Anyway...congrats on the DD!

This is a really smart way to express this message. I agree, I don't believe in love at first sight; I think you need to really look closer and spend time to find it. Wonderful work, congrats on the DD!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's something. :] I'd like to add that up to the artist's comments to share with others.
Thank you so much!
