LOVE: AN ACT OF THE WILL , NOT OF THE HEART


A famous poet had once said that, “To say that you can love one person all your life is just like saying that that one candle will continue burning as long as you live”. That poet created such a tricky quote. Note that in his quote the word “can” existed. A three letter word that could change the quote’s meaning. For me that quote proved to me that love is always a choice, a product of one’s will.

I always believe that real love is fated. That it has been arranged before time. That real love is the most meticulously prepared of coincidences. But this does not mean that you do not have control of your of your love life. Of course you have for we choose our own destiny, cause if we don’t then life would not be worth living for.Life is a matter of choice and love is life’s most colorful part. Therefore love is not just fated, it is also a matter of choice. Same as we ca n always choose your own destiny.Choosing our own destiny will surely teach us whom to love. Only fools can say that love is an uncontrollable feeling. Of course you can always control love. You can even choose to love a person or not. If you think you like a person but you feel that something is holding you back, you can always hold back your feelings.
I deeply believe that love is an act of the will and that a ll aper son must do is just to trust in the Lord with our hearts and lean not on our own understanding;in all our ways acknowledge him and he will make our paths straight.
