I think everyone should have their own rules when it comes to love. Since the dawn of time, people have been telling others how "love" is suppose to look like. For example; in ancient Egypt people married their blood siblings to make babies so they could keep their bloodline going, "sex was for creating babies" In the 12th century there was “courtly love” which was where knight had to prove his love for a married woman. As we move through time the definition of love changes and it will continue to change. We live in a world where everyone believes they should write a book on love. I cannot tell you how many books are out there. There are books on marriages, sex, love, how to catch a man, and keep him, and the do's and don't's of dating. All of these books are suppose to have the answer that will teach us how to love or how to be loved. The list is endless. We are constantly trying to manipulate love into a logically factor. The problem is, love is not logical, and there is not one equation that will give us a solid solution to this problem. I think it is a good thing that we all create our own definition of love because as humans, we all love in different styles and no matter how hard we try to put love in words we will all feel and act them out differently. Some people believe love is pure passion and emotion, it is almost like emotional rollercoaster’s and then there are others who believe love is calm and gentle built on a “ friendship caught on fire”. At the end of the day, love is what you make of it. You create your own love scale.
"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it."
— Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi
