Top 5 reasons people are afraid of love:
5. Love is a delusion
It's all in the mind ... constructed on a casual glance, a meaningless pleasantry, a polite invitation. Even a sacred promise to love, honor and obey may dissipate in less than 48 hours. Just ask Britney Spears and Jason Allen Alexander.
4. Love is embarrassing
Think of all the stupid things people do for love, from toting around the six-foot stuffed bear he won at the carnival as a token of his affection, to wearing a penguin suit to a wedding. If the object of your affection gets drunk and picks a fight with your boss, what does that say about you and your judgment?
3. Love is demanding
There are flowers to be sent, sonnets to be composed, egos to be stroked. Who has the time and energy?
2. Love is blind
Love sees faults as foibles. Differences are delicious, not deal breakers. When opposites attract, they think they're two pieces that combine to finish the puzzle. But as time goes by, complimentary temperaments can clash. What were once delightful eccentricities become noxious habits.
1. Love hurts
It burns hot and cold. Either way, it's a pain.
Top 5 good reasons to take a chance on love:
5. Love is liberating
You never have to put on a false front for a lover. True love accepts you for what you are, bad hair days and all. Your faults don't disappear in a lover's eyes; they just don't carry as much weight as your merits.
4. Love is energizing
Love sparks activity like the ignition awakens a sleeping automobile engine. Lovers go for long walks, stay up late and get up early, anything to be with each other. With the strength of love, all things appear possible and you feel confident enough to tackle any project.
3. Love is healing
Whatever is wrong in your life, love can help you through it. Love lightens all burdens. No matter what kind of trial you are going through, having someone you love with you eases the pain.
2. Love is elevating
As Melvin Udall (Jack Nicholson) said to Carol Connelly (Helen Hunt) in As Good as it Gets, "You make me want to be a better man." Love does that to people. It brings out the best in us.
1. Love is enriching
The more you give, the more you get.
