Love
Love can unite two individuals. They may have different career,
valuation, political view, opinion, background, etc. The pair becomes a
dynamic unit where their personalities join, mix, discuss and complement
each other.
The strong love bounds establish in the childhood, between parents and children,
and between brothers and sisters. The first three years are of the most
significant to our love life in maturity. The strong bounds resist everything;
for example a parent keep loving his child even if the child has a serious
disfiguring disease. The only power that can establish strong bound, besides
the family bound, is being in love. Two persons, who once were strangers
to each other, are suddenly equally important to each other, like a child
to his parent.
The medium-strong bounds are between friends. But even the strongest
friendship is vulnerable - one hard quarrel and the friendship risk to
end.
The weak bounds are between neighbors and colleagues. Many erotic affairs
belong to this category. It might take only some harsh words and the company
risk to break. A weak bound means we don't feel a strong need to be with
that person. However, we might remember the person for the rest of our
lives.
The groundbreaking mechanism for establishing strong love bound in our
maturity is the attraction of being in love. When our partner feels irreplaceable
and we feel painful longing. The loves are intoxicated with desire for
intimacy and passion.
According Symposium by Plato, Aristofanes describes the experince of
being in love by saying people once upon the time had four hands and four
feet. But the god Zeus cut the human being in two halves. Since then people
are always looking for their lost half.
When do we fall in love?
Who do we fall in love with? How
does it feel? Rational
