I was thinking about it on my bed last night, when I finally realised the three big questions the messes up everything.
The first, as mentioned yesterday, was
whether one can stop loving.
I am inclined to believe that one cannot simply just stop loving another. How can you just forget everything?
The second is related to the first. If it is true that you cannot stop loving a person, then when you meet someone new and you love this new character in your life, it necessarily means that you are loving two people right now. So the second question is:
Is it possible to carry more than one person in your heart at the same time?But the thing is, if you can hold two different individuals in your heart at the same time, then why is it that most times, the two people come at different periods of your life, and not at the same time? If you can love both, why is it you have to choose between the two?
The third question, I suppose, will answer the first two questions for me. Except we will never be able to pin down an answer for this one.
What is love?What does it mean to love someone? Is the love you have for a spouse the same kind of love you have for your children and parents? Is it just intimacy and emotional attachment?
Well, looks like we have hit a dead end over here.
We just pick the most likely answers and continue to muddle through life.
