Good Morning Blogfam!!
Is there a thin line between love and stupidity? Someone who has never been in love before would probably say yes to this question. However, someone who has experienced true love would probably say "Who cares?" Love is a very sensitive, controversial topic because there are no right answers on how to love someone. The actions of love that may be displayed by one may be considered stupidity to another. The point is no one has a right to judge another person's depiction of love, how they show it, and who they show it to.
I had a very broad perception of love since I had never experienced true, unconditional, genuine love. However, in talking to my friend yesterday I was able to realize that when you truly love someone there is nothing that can diminish that feeling. When it comes to the case of love, on a personal level instead of having the ability or desire to just love someone unequivocally I was always concerned about being a fool and not knowing when to draw the line or just not care. Normally the feeling of stupidity is driven by how you think others perceive you, not necessarily about how you're feeling about yourself. Therefore, now it is clear to me that when you are in love it has the power to supercede all outside opinions or perceptions.
Although I truly believe that love is an amazing feeling I am not so sure that it should lead the way when making decisions. We can't let another person's actions determine whether we love them or not because if we did the love would never be constant. However, I do believe that love is a reciprocal feeling that should be given and received. When you genuinely love someone they should receive it, respect it. and appreciate it. If they are not able to do that then quite possibly they don't deserve or just aren't ready to receive the type of love that you have to give. This is where I believe the thin line comes in between love and stupidity (for lack of a better word). When do you draw the line and move on instead of waiting for someone to love you how you want them to love you? Love tends to blind us from deciphering what is real vs. how we feel. When you know or believe that you truly love someone and you let love lead the way, you are more than willing to put up with certain behavior that someone who leads with their mind probably wouldn't put up with. However, the positive side of things is that no one has to live our lives but us so to have a peaceful existence its best to do what you feel is right for you. Everyone may not have the ability to see love from your perspective; therefore at the end of the day opinions of others should have absolutely no affect on how, when, or who you love.
