Love... amor... aimer...liebe... pyar... amore... a thousand ways to say, a single emotion to express. Funny how it makes monkeys out of perfectly sane people. Are we born with an inherent x-factor that gets triggered under a cupid attack or is it the result of the preachings of Jesus who commanded us to love one another? As a technical person I have this need to have a logical reasoning and understanding behind everything but breaching this topic leaves me stumped with a unique answer every single time I ponder about it. Purists might argue that it is better to leave some things like this unexplained and just revel in its mystery but then again I am a umm... (insert antonym of purist here) after all.
Here is what I feel. As a social animal, we have the need to be accepted in the society and put up a decent front that most of us might not really be comfortable with. We all want some one in who's company we don't need to be politically correct or wear the Cloak of Falsehood.... to unwind from the rigour's of daily stress.... be partners in crime! Yes I know one might say that's what friends are for but honestly when did you last share something with your friend without the fear of being judged? Admittedly there is a very fine line between friendship and love with equal number of advocates on both sides arguing as to what comes first. Ignoring the order of coming to being, I think the easiest way to distinguish between the two is to identify which person's touch brings out the poet in you. Its amazing to see how compositions embellishing great emotions come forth from otherwise unimaginative uncreative people. That is when you know it is love alright.
Falling in love is such a misnomer because never once have I felt as if I've lost altitude when in love. You kinda feel very light and seem to bounce about with an Acme spring under your shoes that too if all! You might not catch the road runner but hey! you will definitely enjoy the flight :P
