To Love or.. Not to Love..

I have often wondered what it would be to really love.. What would it be to unconditionally love someone.. love so intense that u are really willing to do anything and everything for that person.. (Doesnt that seem a little too much?? :-O)..
Its said that love is blind.. but marriage is a reallll eye opener.. may be or may not be.. I am no one to say.. not having experienced either..
But somethings are pretty evident from the way my friends tell their experiences.. Love does seem to be blind.. Often when people say that they are in love, they are not ready to accept facts (bad ones..) about their love.. even if it slaps them on their face.. They try and really try hard to make some excuse or the other.. Its kinda giving their love "infinite" number of chances..
But come to think of it.. "Why" do they do that??.. I was just wondering about that.. And the only thing that was obvious to me was that they dont want to get hurt.. They dont want to be hurt when they find that their love is someone else.. someone different.. someone other than the image they have in mind..
Its like the ostrich methodology.. "I cant see you.. so you cant see me".. Simple enough.. "I dont acknowledge the facts so they dont exist".. But "Why" do they not want to acknowledge the facts.. simply coz if they accept the facts, it simply means that they are accepting that thier love has flaws.. that he/she is someone different from what they have built them upto be.. Since they dont want any kinda grub on their love's Mr./Ms. Perfect picture.. they simply dont accept what they dont want to accept..
So does that really mean that if u dont want to be hurt.. then all you need to do is just not love.. why love.. why build up someone as someone they are not.. why build up dreams that would shatter into million pieces in just a fraction of a sec.. why.. why be hurt when your love fails.. Isnt it wise to not love and be safe and never be hurt?? .. It all seems and sounds damn logical when worded like that.. but then "why" do i feel that "to not love" would feel like letting something infinitely precious slip through your fingers??
Well admist all this confusion - "to love or not to love.." - its really a wonder that people still do love and get hurt.. but then they are brave enough to take it all in their stride..to take chances again and again.. If only I had the courage.. the courage to take a chance and love...

Well i think u got this one wrong. I agree that people do support their love but think of this situation.....
With all due respect, suppose someone really close to u (say ur father or ur best frd) has done some mistake and if someone else points it out to u ,what wud u do? Won't u blindly support ur father/frd.Now why do u do that?. U simple don't want ur dear ones image to degrade in front of others. But at the same time do u leave the matter there? Won't U ask him/her in private as to what actually happened? and if u think he/she is wrong won't u tell that to him/her? U do right.

Same is the case with Love.People may not acknowledge the 'facts' infront of everyone but believe me they are going to give them a good 'class' in private.Its not like they are looking for someone else and getting adjusted with someone else.It rarely happens.And if it happens it is becos they 'think' they are in Love when infact there was nothing like that in between them.

People change ,they change a lot when in Love.(they change for a similar reason ->why we try to change-- so that our parents are proud of us).Some changes are due to voluntary decisions and some due to the "classes" that they receive from their loved ones. Whatever may be the reason, they change for good.
There is something magical abt Love
Love Somehow Inspires life.

ps: Sorry for the loooong comment :-)

Hmm.. Dont you think that depends on the magnitude of the mistake?? Also I wouldnt call it support.. I would call it defense.. but yours is a valid point

Whatever may be the reason, they change for good.

hope so.. :)
