"Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind...

And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind."
                                                                   A Midsummer Night's Dream, Act I, Scene I, ll. 234-236

One thing that really irritates me, especially in society today, is the idea of love at first sight.  A young teenage girl sees a cute boy and announces dramatically, "I'm in love."  I find it humorous that Shakespeare makes this statement though one of his characters in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" that love is not just the physical image, it goes deeper, yet "Romeo and Juliet" is a story about two very young people who supposedly "fall in love" in a matter of days.

Romantic love is like a seed.  A mutual attraction between two people (one man and one woman) must be planted and cultivated.  It takes work.  It's not so easy as to wake up in the morning, make yourself pretty, then out to find love.  It goes back to the saying, "Anything worth having never came easy."  You fight and work for the things that are worth having.

Anyways, my point is this: Guard your heart and ESPECIALLY don't take the words "I love you" idly.  All words have meaning, and words of such power can do a lot to a person, whether it be good or bad.  With that said, I love you guys, have a great day!  God Bless.
