Love is Blind

There are certain things we don't get to fully understand until we experience it ourselves, one of those things will be when people say to me that love is blind. I never really got the meaning of that until I found myself in a position where I was willing to overlook and do certain things the old me wouldn't do back in the day, just because I felt I was inlove.

Unfortunately, that is what happens when you think with your heart and not your head, you begin to make compromises...and sometimes it doesn't have to be bad compromises because not all of them are bad, but you also tend to not want to listen to anybody that has anything to say that goes against what your heart feels.

Experience has thought me that although it is a good thing to be in love, there are certain situations that you can't handle fairly simply because you're in love. To you, you might feel you're being fair and just, but in reality, you're being biased and your decision is being heavily influenced by how and what you feel for the other party involved. Again, I'm not saying that is entirely a bad thing, but it can be.

I have a friend who ever since his dad got married for the second time (his mom died), hasn't had any peace of mind. The woman has been hell for them (mainly for his dad) but everytime they talk about asking her to leave, he would look for ways to defend her and try to make her stay.

It has gotten to the point where, to my friend, he feels his dad has been bewitched by this woman but personally, I think it's either one of these two things, either he's scared of being alone all over again or he's just too inlove with her...and like we all know, being inlove brings compromises.

The question though that you should ask yourself if you guys keep on fighting all the time is if that person is worth your peace of mind. Are you willing to keep on fighting all the time and not have peace of mind just for the sake of love?

I guess at the end, that is why they truly say that love is blind. Because the moment we're in love, nothing else matters. We see no one and nothing at all, just the person we love.
