Is Love An Illusion?

There are those who believe that it is, and have become cynical, ever
since they claim to have been hurt too many times before. But was it
truly love they felt? Or was it an emotional roller coaster they had?

Personally, I believe that to experience true love is a privilege. And
most of us may never have that opportunity in this life. But for the
few who do, they will know it is real, profound, and can never be
erased from memory or feelings.

Because when you have experienced true love, you cannot hate that
person, cannot lose it,and will cherish that experience for as long as
you live, regardless of whether you are together or apart. Or whether
the physical relationship or togetherness is still possible or
necessary. These things cannot influence your love for that person,
Period.

At What Age Is It Possible To Love?

I believe that when an individual reaches adolescence he/she should
have the necessary mental and psychological maturity to determine what
he/she feels for another is really true love, passion, lust, emotional
security, dependence, or fantasy.

Of course, this will differ from person to person, depending on his/
her emotional/psychological state of mind too. But 'ceteris paribus,'
a matured individual or adult aught to recognize what is real, from
what is fantasy or self-delusion.
