A Love Philosophy

What is Love? No... I am not going to say it is kind.. gentle.. that you can find in the bible or something like that. Love for me is something you take for granted. I read this story just a few hours ago to pass time with. It was quite a nice story but there was something that bothered me in it.
In the story, the Prince is engaged to a Princess from the neighbouring country but he is in love with his maid. The Princess then asked her brother if he could 'fall in love' with said maid... actually this is pretty much the conversation between them..

Princess: do you think you could fall in love with her?
brother: Sure, why not? She's pretty.. It could be easy.
Princess: Thank you so much!

Really? It's like, falling in love is something as easy as baking apple pies. "Fall in love with her? Sure.. But I'm busy on saturday so Sunday'll have to do." Pretty weird don't you think?
For me, love is rare. Especially true love. And i mean the concentrated, red, melt-my-heart, love-me-to-death liquid that is found obviously in your heart. In your entire life, you might only find one person you will be willing to give that love to... Rarely two.

You may be saying: What about my family? I love them!
That is really a sort of 'diluted' love.. it is more of instinct love really. Which son hates his father to the core? Which daughter despites her mother to death? Which mother hates her child though she abandons said child. I am not kidding, even mums who abandon their children feel the love.. and obviously the guilt and pain. I am also not saying that you love your family only because you have to.. it's just not a 100% love. maybe a 90 or a 95.. rarely a 100...

Another part of my theory is this: You only get a cup of this thick crimson love in your life. your WHOLE life. Depending on the individual will the size of said cup vary. Some people may be ones who have alot of 'love' to give out. They are types who are instantly friendly, types who readily accept others who come into their lives unexpectedly. I am not saying that the love they give is 100% red syruppy goodness, they mix the love with all types of other emotions, making a kind of diluted love as i have said before. As you can plainly see, i based my theory on syrup. After all, who minds a cup of the nice drink once in a while? Syrup is sweet. THAT, is not my revelation, mind you. Syrup is nicer to drink when you add water. In that same way, Love is better accepted when mixed with a bit of other emotions. When you give your 100% to ANYONE, it also comes with pain, suffering and other not-so-nice things. If you thought love would be all suger and spice you obviously came from planet whatzammacallit.

That is pretty much my love philosophy? Enlightening? Hope so.

P.S. Just because I thot of this doesn't mean i'm in love.. I was reading the story then i came up with the theory in the bathroom. now, THAT is weird. =)
