People have many definitions of love, and it is what makes you give up or give in. Those who have loved and lost would choose to experience euphoria despite the possible tragedy.
In the past, the definition of love was unclear to many people. They say that love is a feeling, it involves pain, and that there is no love without pain. It is true that you only get hurt by what you love, yet you continue to do so. That is not what love is.
It is sad if you never experience love, whether the person was meant for you or not. In this article, you will realize why love is both euphoric and tragic.
Have you ever loved and lost? Read on.
Defining Love
No, love is not a feeling. You can have feeling for so many people, places, things, etc. Even animals have feelings, and that is not how love is defined.
Love is a decision. You choose who to love day in and day out, no matter what the tides are. A very good example of this is unrequited love because, above all the others, you choose this one person who cannot love you back, but you continue to do so and you are happy. Yet, there is pain.
The truth is you always have a choice, but you decide to stick with this person no matter what.
That is deciding. That is love.
The Euphoria of Love
It is a cliché to hear: “Love is what makes the world go round.” No matter how many times you hear this, there is absolute truth in this saying.
Love is not only for couples or for unrequited love. It is for your family, job, pets, business, etc.
You do things for your family because it makes you happy to see the smile on their faces. That is euphoric.
The person you have feelings for happens to call you up for a chat, and you are left with butterflies in your stomach. That is euphoric.
Sometimes, you get addicted to that state of euphoria and look for it.
The Tragedy of Love
Love is tragic because nothing is permanent and there is no way of telling how long they will be with you or how soon it will all end.
The person you are in a relationship with can decide to leave you one day, they could die, or shut you off for good. That is one of the reasons why people do almost everything for love. Unrequited love is one of the most poetic situations, but you choose to stay because of love.
You have a problem child, but you continue to provide because you love them and you want what’s best for them.
Even evil people have the capacity to love no matter how unkind they are, but they choose to do bad things.
Everyone has loved and lost, but it gives you the best feeling in the world.
