Love at First Sight

When asked if I believe in love at first sight, my answer is NO. I believe in lust at first sight. On the spiritual side, I believe two people can be connected in spirit, but not at first sight necessarily. I do believe that is possible, but not necessarily at first sight. I believe two people can connect in spirit quickly, but I think even that is rare at first sight. I think love is really knowing someone and still really caring about and for them. As a friend says, love is allowing someone to be human and still caring for them. This is love. This is what we show our friends, family, and significant others. However, I think there is a big difference in loving someone and being in love with them. You can love someone and yet not be in love with them. Being in love means willing to sacrifice and sacrificing often… taking care of someone… fully trusting… fully communicating… fighting their fights and fighting for them…

If a person saw another person who was hideously ugly, no matter how compatible they may be or how happy they could make each other, there would never be love at first sight… “love at first sight” does not exist...
