..emOtiOnAl blindnEss..

Love is one of the most misunderstood words. A word that has no definite meaning in this world of overlapping societies. Perhaps every person defined love based on his or her experiences, a misfortune in life or a great treasure. If you ask a person seriously of what love means to him or her, he or she end up speechless for a matter of time and sometimes tend to make jokes with it. It is so funny that human beings tend to treat this serious matter as a joke. Perhaps to show why the societies don’t have a unified meaning on this misunderstood word.

Questions were raised on love. Questions were raised by those who want to what love is or what love can do. One question that got my interest into was, “is love blind?” Could love be really blind? Can something that we only feel have the deficiencies of living beings? After countless research, I realized that the phrase was not to be taken literally.

Love couldn’t be blind. It is the person that becomes blind. Not blinded physically but blinded by the facts about the real personality of the person he or she fell in love with. A person that fell in love with someone would not afford to look at the negative sides of that person. What he or she would accept are the good sides of that person. Because of this, many people tend to live life as one sided, only the positive perspective. Only those who realize their emotional blindness are the ones that could balance his or her perspectives on his or her loved one.

One great fact about of love is that when you tend to be blinded by the facts of someone’s personality, you tend to somehow sacrifice everything for that person. These are somehow the lives of the martyrs, martyrs that made his or her a life a living misery because of this emotional blindness. It is because of this human frailty to consider both sides that came to this tragedy, a tragedy where both you and your life would be a living disappointment.

Late realization of this emotional blindness could cause the world-known famous break-ups, annulments, divorces and sometimes suicides. It is because of this emotional blindness that people couldn’t afford to be called, as weak mortals and that they would instead say that love is the blind matter not them.

It is so ironic that wise people become unwise because of this now famous emotional blindness. They say that it is love that caused to their greatest downfall in life. Or was it? Again, I associate them as hopeless morals that could not face the simple fact that it is his or her emotional weakness to this matter not love itself that made this downfall.

Love is really a misunderstood word. Only few were given the ability to be at least safe from this emotional blindness. Only few realize at the right moment that it is not love that is blind but is the human mind that is.
