LOVE; An act of will, not of the heart

Love is a word that has lots of definitions. Some people say that “Love is blind,” but as we can see, love does not have its own eyes. Some say that “Love is patient,” but as we all know, it depends on the person if he will wait or he will not. Others say that “Love is kind,” but for God’s sake! Love does not give you money or food. “Love is pure.” Shame to those who say this when in fact they themselves associate love with lust. Whatever definitions they have, whether they talk about true love or not, all I can say is that, love is an act of will and not of the heart.
Why can I say so, that love is an act of will and not of the heart? In the first place, our heart is not really the reason why we fall in love; it is just used as a symbol, but lets not take it literally. As some parents say, do not let your heart win over your mind in making decisions when it comes to love. They are right. We have to use not only our heart in falling in love but also our mind. God gave us wisdom and knowledge so we should use these. We have to weigh things properly especially when it comes to love. The reason why many people get hurt because of love is because they all depend to their heart. What they feel their heart is saying to them, they will follow it because they believe that what they feel is already true love, but for all they know it was just infatuation.
In falling in love you must have the control over things. You must not let your emotions bring you down. That is why I can say that love should be an act of will and not of the heart because you have to control the happenings when you fall in love. It depends on you, if you want to get hurt and be a martyr, then go and spend all of your time crying because your partner does not love you the way you do, but if you are intelligent enough to think about yourself, never suffer having a futile relationship with a foolish partner. Why stick to one stupid person when there are millions of choices out there? It is in your hands if you will let your stupid love rule over you.
What I am saying above were pure comments and my views about this topic. Yes, I believe that love is an act of will and not of the heart, but what I always do when I fall in love is the opposite. When I fall in love, I give it all. My mind says that love is an act of will and not of the heart, but my heart says, follow me and you’ll never regret. Never be afraid to get hurt for those pains will make you learn.
