Yes, I was so happy she came back! Your brother’s cats have very nice names. I thought he is such a nationalistic person so he named them from “kalayaan” (freedom). I named it Kamuning, sometimes “Kapusa” from my favorite TV station “Kapuso” GMA-7.

Hi Albena,

Thank you for your reply. Yes you are correct indeed that sometimes love is indeed so strange a thing.

Let’s focus on the word “strange”. Yes, falling in love is strange and mysterious as if we are hit by something from nowhere. It’s like being hit by the arrows of Cupid.

Maybe the mythological character of Cupid with his arrows and that he randomly shot anyone in his or her heart has a deep and hidden symbolism or meaning that it seek to conveys.

Love especially for young love is really full of emotions as if you are on a roller-coaster ride. Sometimes you reach the height of ecstasy but sometimes you reach the lowest ebb of despair.

No wonder that wise men said that it is only fools that rush in to love. Maybe that’s why we have the term or phrase “madly in love” since a person who is in love seems to be beyond his or her normal self.

Base on one’s experience a person who is in love is always subject to the interplay of emotions if not day-dreaming and state of fantasy every now and then.

Yes, we fall in love sometimes and what a strange a feeling love really is.

Hi ailema,

Thank you so much for your very meaningful and insightful reply. Yes love could indeed conquer all. As they say it in Latin “Amores vincit omnia”, which translated in English simply means “love conquers all”.

Yes, we human beings are governed by the Law of Love as summarized by the Great Rabbi in the Gospel: Love of God and Love of Neighbor which is the summary of the whole law in the Holy Scriptures. I think it is also known as the Golden Rule.

Thou shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your mind, with all your strength and with all your spirit and you shall love your neighbor as you love yourself. Who can opposed or object to these salutary commandments by our Lord?

It’s maybe the reason why our Lord Jesus Christ in the many Christian Art or Paintings is always pointing to His Heart which signifies Love above anything else.

I personally believe that the virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity or Love are the three most important virtues any man or woman could ever have and developed.

In closing, I remember the words of the Little Prince in the book with the same title, “It is only with the heart the one sees rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”

Thanks for the appreciation. Yes this topic was such that the blog become a bit long. Good to here from friends like you it always makes my day. Hope you were able to read my other blogs too. Agree with you that the people about whom this blog discussed and who are of different types do not seem to appreciate the good days they get to see. I feel sad for them and hope they can understand what they are losing in life.

I have tried to highlight different situations which make people do such a thing and also tried to analyzed why they do such a thing. I personally have seen many people who are very well of and have everything behave like this. Their condition looks pitiable and pathetic to say the least. Hope people who are having this problem try to understand life and appreciate the good things which life offers. Thanks for the inputs.
