短篇英语美文欣赏：The Many Faces of Love
Love.. what is love? A lot of people shared their views to what Love reallyis, or at least what Love is in their eyes. Perhaps love is just an illusion. A
strong illusion, especially for those who are searching for a purpose of life.
Is love an answer? Love can be wonderful, special, complicated, a distress, a
gift, a curse, a tragedy, and most of all, an experience.
Love is a mysterious and a complicated force. What do a person mean when
they say they love someone? Love is many different things. Each of us have our
own understanding of Love is, and most of the time we base our definitions from
feelings and experiences. The book defines love in many ways. "It is a strong
affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties." It can be an
affection and tenderness felt by lovers. Love is the object of attachment,
devotion, or admiration.
Just when we thought we finally grasp what love is, somebody asks:
"Does anyone really know what 'LOVE' mean? I believe I have a true love,
but 'True love' is always hurt, isn't it?"
I scratches my head with this thought and began to wonder. What is the
answer to this? "This I have to know!" I said to myself. I looked in the mirror
and asked "Is it a true love when you know you want to live with this special
person for the rest of your life? Have we reached 'true love' when we are ready
to give everything away towards our subject? Or maybe when can go as far as to
sacrifice ourselves for our love? What about love as an obsession? Is that
possible?
"But isn't love suppose to be an obsession? If it is not, then you'd have
to rationalize. If you rationalize then it's not love, because there is always a
better rationalization."
"I think the "in love" phase is obsessive but according to Williamson (and
backed up by my paltry experience), love does not involve the ego, is selfless
and the opposite of obsession."
According to Marriane Williamson, the author of "A Return to Love," there
is a "holy love" and a "special love." "The latter type is the obsessiveone;
finding that one 'special' person absorbs _ALL_ your attention."
So who is right and who is wrong about love? There is no wrong answer. Love
is many wonderful things. Love may not work out all the time but it leaves you a
special sort of feeling, like nothing you have ever imagined. Is love a purpose
of life? I think are life will be dull without it. But is it necessary?
Important? It is a part of life, and forever it will be a part of us.
