GLC Presents: Real Women of "Genius"? #9 GLC Presents: Real Women of "Genius"? #9 Today, I salute you, Ms. It Was Love At First Sight. I heard someone say it, and I had to give my opinion. Okay, now this one, as many already know, has sparked controversy since the beginning of time. Love at first sight. Is there such a thing? I hear it often, in movies, on TV, or even in everyday conversation. She will say, "When I met him, it was love at first sight. We just clicked like we had known each other forever." My theory? She might just be onto something. I'm not talking about the "love at first sight" thing, either. Bear with me for a moment, because this might get a bit farfetched for the less than open-minded. I am, in no way, trying to convince you to believe me. I'm simply asking you to think about what I'm about to say. Anyone who believes in the fact that, as immortal souls, we are reborn into new bodies in order to learn new life lessons will understand the concept of reincarnation. Though it is very difficult, if not impossible, to prove, I strongly believe that living one life doesn't make sense. How can one learn everything there is to know in ONE lifetime? It's simple. You CANNOT. So, that being said, the fact that we have lived before presents the possibility of having known another soul in another lifetime. Crossing paths again in THIS lifetime often will spark the "deja vu" feeling. The sense that you've met before. The "love at first sight" could mean that love began in a past life, and has the chance to continue in this one. The words, "love at first sight" also create a dilemma. Physical attraction happens every day, but usually is not associated with love. Lust may be a more appropriate term. Also, in my opinion, love is a conscious decision that one makes. Sure, people say, "I fell in love" and "I couldn't help it", but if you really think about it, you made the DECISION to love someone. No one forced you to do something against your will. It could have stemmed from a need for the connection, or a powerful desire to share your heart with someone. Either way, love is entirely up to you. It wasn't those ripped abs that put you under some powerful spell. You wanted to love, and you decided to. Even though love may seem to have full control of your heart, you always have the final say. Now, when I hear, "I don't love him anymore," I must strongly disagree with the meaning of those words. The thing about love is...it is an unbreakable connection. Once it is established, it is forever. That doesn't mean that you won't be able to be happy with someone else, it just signifies that you will always care for that person, no matter what the circumstances life may present. Anyone who speaks those words either never loved the other person, or they are simply lashing out in anger. That brings me to being "in love". To me, being in love means you WANT to be with someone, to spend those meaningful years of your life by their side as their companion, and best friend. You never stop loving someone once you start, but you can stop wanting to be with them. This does not mean you have ceased to care about them. So, when you hear the words,"Love at first sight" or you feel the urge to say them yourself, think for a second. Perhaps a better way to express your feelings about the situation would be, "I felt a connection the moment I saw him." Love IS, in every sense of the word, a HUGE decision, but it is the source of an immortal soul's power, the very essence of one's being. Without it, we would all be strangers in a crowd. GLC |
