In Love With Being in Love - Many Times Unrequited

I was listening to this song tonight. You can listen to it below. Most of you probably know it. It made me start to really ask the question. How painful can unrequited love truly be to a person. It can drive a person insane. But more so than that, how much more can being in love with "being in love" drive you crazy. :-)

Love is one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful emotion humanity possesses. It causes us to do amazing things, both good and bad. It can bring about the greatest happiness, but can just as easily send us into the greatest despair.

I think that many times people fall in love with the idea of being in love. It consumes them...takes them over. They long for that wonderful feeling to overtake them. The newness of a relationship. But after it is gone, they leave the relationship in search of that new, wonderful feeling again.

I think that I somewhat fall into this category. I am trying to change it. Learn to appreciate the simpleness of people. Appreciate the simple joys in life. We are all in a growing process...all on life's learning curve.

Well...as the song says, "There will be no white flag upon my door."

Life - the battle is back on :-)
