    Have you ever wondered why we happen to "creat[e] in our mind" an "illusion" only about a particular person and not others? Can the reason be love?

    P.S. Can it be that the conviction that "love its just an illusion that you creat[e] in your mind" is an illusion that you have created in your mind?
    What if I find someone else when looking for you? My soul shivers as the idea invades my mind.

        Re: which is better???

        Actually Abyss is right. The modern concept of love is a fairly new phenomenon and is mainly a western thing. You don't see much of it in the pre-Renaissance days. Recently (19th century), we started to see the entire concept solidify in our societies and it has further been reinforced by Hollywood and pop culture.

        Heck throughout history (look at the ancient Romans and Greeks or the Japanese for example) there have been periods where homosexual "love" was celebrated. Right now, we just happen to live in a time where the love between a man and a woman is the fad of the day and unfortunately, it is also often blown way out of proportion with all sorts of senseless mumbo jumbo and how it is "human nature" blah blah blah.

        I think humans are capabale of a wide array of emotions and attachments so this "love" between a man and a woman is by no means universal. Of course there is a biological drive and the instinctive need to procreate that also play into it ... but the modern concepts of romantic love try to go way beyond those and that's why I totally agree with Abyss.
        this post = teh win.

          Maybe it's just the end result of not wanting to feel lonely ... I imagine that we have adapted to being with at least one companion throughout most of our lives.

            Love is fantastic but i've always wondered why the verb we use for it is"FALL" IN LOVE" like "fall into trouble" "fall into a whole"
            but anyways it is the essence of life to experience love,

              And no, I've never been in love. A lot of people might throw that word around as if they have been in love, but I don't think a lot of people know what it means.
