Love At First Sight - Right Or Wrong?

There are many facets to love. Some term love as God while some term love as illusion. This means that God is an illusion. Now what is this link? I remember to have read that love is an illusion many a time and also to have read that love is god. But that is really confusing. But I am a firm beliver that there can be no love at first sight. I really doubt who coined this phrase - 'love at first site'. When you see a person of the opposite sex what you see is only the physic. You cannot see the mind of the person. And for love to take place, the minds need to get involved. There cannot be only a physical intimacy which you can term it as love. That would be lust. And if god is love then where is the place for lust? Secondly, as long as you don't know the mind of a person how can you love him/her. It is important that you know the person, try to understand him/her and then only proceed. Moreover, to get into love and to remain their takes time. You need to win the confidence of the opposite person and all these activities need time. This cannot happen overnight. And why overnight, in just a moment? My god! I, personally find this really surprising. Such love is bound to break sooner - i hope this comes false. But I have seen some couples who have fallen in love at first sight - in a moment's time and have broken up faster still. Then what you get is only frustration and depression. Is this the love that anyone seeks?

Being In Love

There are many facets to love and love has many dimensions. Many of us here might have been in love at one point of time. There might be still some who are still in love. I will completely agree with you if you say that love is a strange thing. Strange as it is, it is simple as well. Love does not need anything. There are no such hard and fast rules to tell about if you are in love or not. And I can say from my experience that there are some things that you perceive or feel like doing (almost for nothing). The world suddenly seems to be a beautiful place to live in. You just cannot point fingers to anything in this world. You feel that there is all goodliness in this world and nothing bad can happen. You feel that the world has a lot to offer and your mindset at such times is strange too. The ghost of sacrific is mounted on your back ages ago and you become a non-materialistic entity. I would love to talk about these things in greater details still, but what I have experienced is that nothing is like what you or me feel when in love with someone. All comes back to square one when the building of love comes crashing down. The time after that seems very cruel. The world seems to come to eat us. Nevertheless, that was of no use as one has to live with the same hurt deep inside. The philosophy to see the love and world changes and we - at least I - come to the conclusion that, love is nothing but just an illusion, though love has been compared with god. So, love is god or love is an illusion - the argument simply continues.
