FALLING IN LOVE

Sometimes I laugh when I get to hear the crazy reasons why people fall in love, date and even get married. A young lady once told me that she loves her boyfriend because he is fair, another guy said he wants to marry a particular lady
because she can speak fluently, a coursemate of mine once said she wants to marry a Yoruba
guy, a girl said she loves her fiancee because he is rich, fair, and handsome. Then it dawn on me that most of the relationships these days are based on lust and infatuations. Some people fall
in love with a girl because she has beautiful legs and walking steps. Why some will say "I love your, lips, hips and your finger tips" all based on
the outward appearance. I don't know if you have ever thought of the fact that what happens when the rich man you once loved becomes poor, or
the fair guy becomes darker, what happens when that attractive lady you fell in love with, had an accident and became less attractive? love expires then? An old African proverb said "He who loves a vase, loves also what's inside" love shouldn't be based on our own selfish reasons, love is pure, selfless, patient, kind, It has no
condition. One attribute of God is love, he loved us even in our state of ignorance. That's how it should be, love a lady and love her crazy character, her tantrums, her moodswings, her jealousy, her flaws, her everything. Love a guy and love also his shortcomings, his arrogance, his anger, his annoying characters. That's love.........
