LOVE: An act of will not of the heart.

What is LOVE? Me? I do not know. All I know is it is a feeling, a wonderful feeling. But I think LOVE is so undescribable that not even the wisest men can describe it correctly or clearly.


I really had a hard time thinking on what love really is, if it is an act of will or an act of the heart. But after how many days of thinking, I came up with the conclusion that the heart is really the main facilitator when it comes to love.


Will, in my own understanding, is due to a person's thinking or should I say due to his or her brain. The brain, as what I believe, facilitates on the will a person makes. In making a will, a person uses his or her brain.


I know that in loving, you also use your brain. You use your brain in choosing who to love. You also use your brain if knowing if you are loving the right person. In other words, it dictates the heart on who to love, how to love, when is the right time to love, and what is the main reason why you get in love. In other words, the brain is the one which gives permission to the heart who, when, how, etc. , to love. But as the heart recieves the permission from the brain, it immediately process the feeling of love. It is the one responsible in the growth of a person's love towards someone.


When you are in love with someone using your heart, you would be humble enough to accept that person's decision if he or she loves you too or not. The heart humble itself even though it ends up getting hurt. It accepts criticisms and it is always open. The heart in other words is unselfish.


In the other hand, using your mind or brain in loving is exactly different to loving with all your heart. Using your brain in loving does not display love anymore, unless it displays a seek for pleasure. For me, the brain is the "pleasure seeker" part of a human body. It is responsible on why people engage in sex because the brain thinks that there are still other way in proving your love to someone, this is through sex. I agree that sex is really a way in proving your love but nowadays, people engage in this sacred thing not just because of love but also because of pleasure. This thing I will never allow to happen to me. That is why I will never allow my mind to be over my heart because I might end up pregnant at an early age.


Enough is enough. I have already shared my opinion to this and I chose the heart.
