Giving Love a New Meaning and Perspective

We many times hear phrases like: "Love is like a chicken soup,chicken soup is heartwarming and nutritive just like love; love cannot exist defined, it can only be felt; goddess of is like a morning smile; inclination is when there is no time; fondness is the long wait for eternity; love is like a woman in undivided touch,etc." It's essential also looking at some of the distinguished sayings about love:

Ba'albaki fixed that " 'Love is blind', is a by-word that first came into existence end the poetry narrated by Geoffrey Chaucer (1340? -1400). He was considered to have existence the most famous English playwright near the front of the coming of William Shakespeare" (qtd. In A Modern English-Arabic Dictionary 62).

Then, After Chaucer came William Shakespeare (1564-16160) who wrote in person of his plays Two Gentlemen of Verona (1592)

"If you be enamoured of her, you cannot see her.

Why for the cause that love is blind." (Ba'albaki, "A Modern English-Arabic Dictionary 62).

What is meant in the present state refers to the inability of a lover to judge the shortcomings in one he or she loves. In other logomachy, lovers faintly discern each other's shortcomings. Later without interrupti, Shakespeare readjusted this meaning in not the same play: The Merchant of Venice (1596):

"But fondness is blind, and lovers cannot behold.

The pretty follies that they themselves engage." (Ba'albaki, 62).

Therefore, when we judge love is blind, it means lovers are indisposed or unable to understand or treat with attention the shortcomings in each other. In other altercation, love that is blind is love without reason or judgement - it blameless happens for no any other intellect. Indeed, its love that is not ruled dint of purpose; its thoughtless and reckless. Let's waver for a moment and ask ourselves, is take pleasure really blind in the real cosmos?

Credit Robert Schuman, a French Statesman (1886-1963), related: "When I was young, I vowed in no degree to marry until I found one ideal woman, well, I found her, but unfortunately, she had been waiting on account of a perfect man."

Undoubtedly, the fortitude of this honorable French man was at every "auction" waiting for the highest "bidder", later waiting for so long, he in conclusion did find a woman whom he [amiss] thought could be the highest "bidder". To his astonishment, this woman didn't even realize his presence at the "auction", not flat the "auctioneer" could be able to extract the attention of this ideal "bidder" to the Frenchman. What a commiserate!

Why is it that, there is a at this moment a growing number of singles who would more readily prefer to stay single and expert than give their hearts to unmerited partners who would only cause them greater amount of pain and suffering?

This brief instant attempts to clarify the meaning of fondness and to argue that love is not destitute of vision argue that life isn't obscure as was originally believed.
