love
I've been thinking about love today. What makes two people fall in love. For anyone who has seen the series Escaflowne they say it is like gravity. But is love really like gravity. Gravity is one of the only constants I've even found, at least in the laws of science. So, does that mean that love is a constant, and if people fall out of love so easily today does that mean it is a repulsion too. I probably shouldn't ponder this stuff too much, and actually I've only thought about it a few times but still love is such an elusive but common place feeling. I feel love for my family, but I don't know that I feel a gravitational pull to them. I like being around them. I guess when I haven't seen them for some time I feel a want to be near them. But what about the love for animals, I can be away from my cat for long periods of time and miss her but not feel a need to be near her. At the same time, when I am away from my friends for a long time I feel a need to be near them. Perhaps need isn't the right word. Then there is the feeling of "love" for a person you are interested in and that opens up a whole different can of worms. I think that love is too much for one person to understand.
