Throughout history people have tried to understand and control the mysteries of love with the magic potions, spells, prayers and the powers of witches and sorcerers. This is not surprising, given the fact that for most people, falling in love constitutes one of the most emotionally intense, exhilarating, exciting, and significant of life’s experiences.
The expert describes falling in love as divine madness that is akin to the experience of mystical vision. Falling in love is a thing that strikes like lightning and is, therefore, extremely analogous to the mystical vision. Not really know how people obtain the experiences and there is not as yet as clear rational as to why it happens.
Even after many years, couple can describe in great detail how they fell in love with each other. Occasionally, but it’s rare, their love is at first sight; a little more frequently it springs from a long friendship. At times it’s the beloved’s look that sparks the romantic attraction, at other times it’s wonderful and endearing quality, or a deeply moving, shared experience. The infatuation may evolve into a rewarding, committed love, or end in a destructive and painful relationship, or it may just fizzle out. These last cases make us wonder. Since there was obviously nothing there to love, what was it that made me fall in love with this person? The inevitable conclusion is I was blinded by love. Like the Romans who believed that Cupid, naughty angle, arbitrarily shot his love arrows at his unsuspecting victims, so too do many of us believe in the arbitrariness of love.The Art of Love
