The One Who Makes You Happy
There is no single sensation called ‘Love’. This is the cupid-conquering carrot that fellow-blogger KFC defiantly dangled before me this morning. My fair feeling is he’s ringing right in many muddled ways, for love lavishes dissimilar favours on its smitten saints. But his maxim’s miles away from engraved-in-stone. I awoke with ‘weally wunnerful’ happiness today! And when I think of who I was thinking of, I know that the one you truly love is the one who makes you happy.

aww... touching :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, NY.
ReplyDeleteI will qualify the last part by saying...'the one you truly love is the one who makes you happy to make her/him happy.'
don't know...don't have anyone I love who makes me happy.
ReplyDeleteawww, so sweet! I have so many questions!...lol...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lucci :-)
ReplyDeleteNice amendment, Posekyere.
ReplyDeleteAwww Nana F. But the idea is not that you will love somebody who make you happy. The idea is if a person consistently makes you happy, then you already love them! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Maxine. Please ask your questions!
ReplyDeletei still insist that there is no single emotion called love. what we believe to be a single emotion is rather an aggregate of several 'happy feelings' we feel towards another.
ReplyDeleteA google definition for love gives you ~10 meanings to that word.. Thus, it is left up to the "feeler" to define what he thinks is love and why he might think he "loves" someone...But as for me I still believe that "love is patient, love is kind...". KFC, you're right love is an aggregate of several feelings but not all of them may be "happy"
ReplyDeleteMmmm...reminds me of that song.."Happy Together"...Anyway, in my limited experience I would have to add the one you truly love is one that can also make you 'weally, weally sad'. With love you can't help the way you feel even if the person cuts your heart out and stomps all over it...you still love them unconditionally...right?
ReplyDeleteI agree, its not one single "feeling". But also not necessarily "happy feelings" always too. Then again the happy feelings have to outweigh the sad or else...it becomes rather masochistic.
ReplyDeleteis Love really just a feeling? feelings change all the time so if love really is a feeling, no wonder people always break up 'cos how I'm feeling today may be different tomorrow right?
ReplyDeleteSometimes i'm tempted to think love is a decision,but if it was that case, why can't one simply decided to stop loving even after it has brought pain.
ReplyDeleteAnd it cannot just be a feeling you feel according to which side of the bed one wakes up.
Love is complicated, a single word won't be adequate to describe it, but it does make you happy.
Why can't there be just one definition of love so that everyone will be happy and there will be no confusion.. I still stick to "love is patient, love is kind, love is not jealous or boastful...
ReplyDeleteNow, KFC, why did you have to go and complicate a simple idea you started?
ReplyDeleteAbena O, I agree with you that feelings of love need not be 'happy'.
ReplyDeleteRight Abena, love is long-suffering. And that we can all agree or disagree at very many different levels shows what complex animal love is.
ReplyDeleteRight, again, KAO. We all speak (and agree) about a topic that probably privately means different things to us. Hmm
ReplyDeleteIf love is more than 'just' a 'feeling', Maxine, then what is it? An institution? A way of life? A habit? A contract? A decision (ask Lucci)? What is love?
ReplyDeleteAnd Lucci adds another dash of complexity! :)
ReplyDeleteBut, Abena O, confusion is a necessary part of the rush of emotions that love brings.
ReplyDeleteI say love is a word, and whatever substance anyone decides to attach to it is bound to be as unique as the person themselves.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing the only common ground anyone might be able to reach on the subject is the fact that we, everyone of us can't live without it.
How perceptive, Anon! I like the common ground you have identified.
