Love at first sight
You may know that after reading a love story, you sometimes find yourself thinking of the story's events happening in reality. As one of the most favorable myths, love at first sight is what intrigues us and moves us to the new heights. Yet, as much as many would like to dream of love at first sight, it is a myth and is just an added twist to a love story.

A dictionary defines love as a "warm affection" where affection is defined as love, in which case and first of all, love is not very definable in professional terms. Although, each person may define love differently, it is presumed by most as a strong feeling for and desire to be with someone for our whole life. It is care for that special person and wish for him or her to be happy, but also hope for a mutual love. Thus if to think of it, love is a feeling built on knowledge of that special person, yet love at first sight is a feeling of mere lust because otherwise, how would it be possible to care for that someone and to want him or her to be happy if there's nothing to base our feelings on except the general appearance.

If to actually imagine love at first sight as something possible in real life, the relationship will still have many complications, if there is going to be any relationship at all. Suppose that there are two people in this possible relationship: Natalie and Ben. Ben sees Natalie at the party or club or any other social place and instantly falls in love with her, whereas Natalie may not even like Ben. That's one reason why this as any other relationship will have not worked. There isn't anything special about being in love, except the fact that Ben will have to cry more because of such a terrible love match; otherwise, love isn't going to bring those two people together. However, Suppose Ben will have Natalie's affection and suppose they actually get to talk to each other. Even in this case, it may not work out: Ben will meet Natalie and will start talking to her and during their conversation

    Often throughout our society, we tend to judge people based on our first glance appearance. Many teenagers can relate to this because the moment that they are attracted to someone they see for the first time, they think that they have fallen in love. That is not love, in fact it is the main definition for the term infatuation. Many people are familiar with the story of Romeo and Juliet, which is told to be the “greatest love story” ever to exist. Shakespeare does do a good job on describing a story of two very different people coming together. What he does not do is create a strong relationship between the infatuated lovers. An author that does do a good job at this is John Steinbeck, who wrote Of Mice and Men. Steinbeck describes two main characters (Lennie and George) who are very contrasting to one another, but bring very similar values that lead to a strong relationship. Although Romeo and Juliet do specific things that are on the right track of a good relationship, George and Lennie in Of Mice and Men develop a stronger relationship because they share the same independent goals, they help one another out, and lastly, they fill in each other's missing piece to the puzzle.…

    Love can be seen in many different ways for many different people. Though, the internet states it as an intense feeling of deep affection. That is plain, boring, and does not really branch off of what love is. Love is when butterflies erupt, or a face brightens at the mention of someone's name. Love is when two people have a mutual respect for each other and they want to give them everything they can possibly give.…

    Is it plausible to love someone at first sight? In today’s world how many people would be willing to die for someone in just 3 hours of meeting them? The answer for today would most likely be very different from 1597. Not many people are willing to go to the extremes Romeo and Juliet did. Especially at first sight. The chances of you having legit true love at first sight are pretty much next to none. It is plausible for a love story of such magnitude like this to happen but also very unlikely. In the play, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare the author emphasizes love and how easy it is to think you’ve fallen in it by describing every part of the story in great detail and depth showing that it is possible to like someone very much at first sight.…

    Love is defined as an intense feeling of deep affection. In Raymond Carver’s, “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love,” the idea of love is discussed from multiple points of view. When you think about love, your definition of love is vastly different from mine or anybody else's. Love is the most powerful emotion you can feel, thus your individual perception as to what love entails is personally fitted to you and nobody can tell you different.…

    However, that is not a fact that could be proved. People always ignore the fact that Love is not what comes first. Attraction is what comes first. One is usually being attracted to what one is having a little difficulty to obtain. The best things are always those we cannot have. For example, a boy will keep pursuing a girl until he has her. Then he will not cherish her as much as before simply because she has the girl already. If one simply gets what he attracts to, quickly, then he will not develop any love for it. This is where longing enters the stage, leading to Love. However, Love brings the fear of loss along with it. When two people are in love, they will secretly, but constantly, dread about the possibility that the other one may leave. Loss of fear gradually leads the way to jealousy of the others and uncertainty of the relationship. The couple now lives in torture, both toward the other and themselves. Let’s pause a second and go back to the word “beautiful.” It is common knowledge that beauty brings joy, happiness and wonder. Since Love brings jealousy and uncertainty, which are the opposites of happiness and joy. One can only conclude that Love is not beautiful in the present. Since Love is not beautiful in the present, it is not possible for it to maintain the beauty in the…

    The Myth Of Romantic Love

    Recently I read an excerpt from The Road Less Traveled by Scott Peck called The Myth of Romantic Love. It was about the lies involving romantic love, that are passed through generations via stories and movies. The author of this article said"This illusion is fostered in our culture by the commonly held myth of romantic love,which has its origins in our favorite childhood fairy tales,wherein the prince and princess once united,live happily ever after". The author believes that these "lies" we have been told our entire childhood, are the cause of our misconception regarding romantic love. However,the author brings up another interesting point when he says "Perhaps it is a necessary lie in that it ensures the survival of the species by its…
