Why do people fall in love…

Why do people fall in love…to some it may sound a stupid question, to some it may not even sound like a question. You love someone that’s it; there is nothing to reason in that. To some it may be as logical a question as why earth is round. Let me think which category do I fit in, frankly till recently I was in a logical group who believes that everything has a reason and can be brought down to equations where we know what is x, y and why x+y=z. Well if I sound encrypted here I am just trying to emphasize that till recently I have been a very logical person. Of course if “till recently” is catching your eye a lot, please stand by me for some more time and you will get to know.

So back to my question – why do people fall in love? The answer will be different for different people. For a five year old it’s just finding a person who will share his jolly rancher candy with him or will still give you a warm hug when you are all drenched in mud. Is this love? It might be for those 5 year olds but can’t say if we logical league of people will consider it as love.
Well then before answering why do people fall in love lets answer what is love. Well instead of putting some famous personality quote here, let me try defining it in my own way.

Love is what makes you feel good about yourself.
Love is what gives meaning to your existence.
Love is what makes world around you beautiful.
Love is like a poetry written by your own heart.
Love is like a song which you hear every time you think of that special someone.
Love is what makes you smile without a reason.
Love is what makes you complete.

Wow love is so beautiful. And so falling in love should be equally beautiful. And that’s the reason people fall in love. I would have loved to stop with this pleasing thought. But I can see people around me who are not so happy in love which makes me ponder again over my original question.

I have a friend of mine who is suffering a great deal in her love life. I was talking to her the other day trying to pacify her pain. After two years of strong and bound relationship she and her boyfriend are still wondering if they have chosen the right person. Now what went wrong here…what happened to all those lovely things that I talked about love just now? Didn’t they realize before falling that they are not meant to be together? It sometimes happens in life that you are in need of a person who can be with you, hold you and support you. This need often brings two souls close to each other. And finding such a person is so overwhelming and delightful that you are temporarily blinded by heat and shine of your new relationship. And when your eyes do open up after sometime you get a feel that this relationship was not the one you always desired for. There can be many reasons for such a feel and I don’t want to limit them by writing just few of them here.

This was the logical side of me. And I have been logical in most part of my life and believe me I do missed being loved. Love is beautiful, divine and serene. The way we don’t reason the existence of God, we should not reason the existence of love. We sometimes meet people in life who instantly make us feel that they are the ones for us. One should never let these people go.

Falling is love is like living a lifetime. One should not stop living just because one day death is a reality. Same way one should not stop loving just because you may not know where it will take you.

Love is beyond reasons…
