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. :]

Love happens to be my favorite 4 letter word, I showed it to a friend whom I care for alot, she liked it so Im sure it has a good meaning to it. with all of those things that describe love, theres always one that should drown out the rest, that one would best describe your love, thats the way I see it. I dont look for appearence or what someone has that the other doesnt, I look at theyre spirit and attitude and such. those things are more important, its a beauty of its own ^_^

iViViFiED In reply to WarBeast17 [2007-08-15 19:19:40 +0000 UTC]

Ooh. Okay, love in general. :] In that that case, I get a warm feeling about the word and subject of love also.

Hehe. I totally agree on your intake of personality over looks. Outer appearances don't get very far; it deteriorates with age, can be false and other, but the personality means more. No matter someone's appearance, if they've got a great inner beauty, it's likely to shine through and be seen by others.

Deatzh [2007-08-04 16:00:40 +0000 UTC]

I agree with it.
"Love" is a lot more complicated than simply looking at a person and feeling a desire for them. That could be considered 'romantic love,' but I cannot call that an actual form of 'love' more than the concept of wanting to have sex with someone, lust.

The concept is awesome, you deserved the Daily Deviation you got.

Now I'm so jealous of your cleverness.

Word. Hahaha. You've phrased it so well, I'm actually speechless and have nothing to say or add on. You've got it all covered. :] What you've just said should be framed and hanged on a wall of things that define love. XP

Thanks for the comment~!

Me neither. I'm sure there's some room for exception and such, but personally, I don't really have a stance on this. I think I'm more of a naive person, and am secretly hoping to be swept off my feet one day by someone. XPP

Snoosmumrik In reply to ??? [2007-08-04 11:30:18 +0000 UTC]

Yep. Sometimes you have to pass through all these and get really close to get to love.

That's why desire, lust and all the others are essential for finding love. That's why so many foolish girls who search for love before stopping for all the above, shall go home empty handed. And afterwards they'll think all man are swines.

iViViFiED In reply to Telpelin [2007-08-10 00:14:57 +0000 UTC]

I second that. Love DOES take a lot of work to grow and nurture, yet it can be so tender and vulnerable at times and strong and durable at others. It really is a LOT of things.

Thank you for looking!
