Wheresoever He Was, There Was Eden.

The hardest thing to define in the world is love. Sure, there might be attempts, by many of the accomplished publishers, researches, ministers. poets; but the only thing in the world which does not have a written formula for, or a proven recipe for, is love. Thus, because of this, all human beings strive hard to find love, through various ways, such as family love, romantic love, religious love, sibling love, brotherly love, friendship love and some other love in which bigblackwolf have yet to heard of.

For the sake of the interest of all the young people, middle age people and old people alike, of course, this post is about the yucky romantic love. Only.

Does love means happiness? bigblackwolf have no definite answer about that too. Though, bigblackwolf have been told when she was young that it does; a prince will rescue a princess from some kind of trouble; and then they will proceed to their happily ever after lives. After close observations to many of the married couples in the world, we can almost see the contrary; people who have claimed to have experience love do not experience a "happily ever after", yet they do get some sort of fulfillment, joy, happiness, company, and the occasional bickering, fighting and heartbreak.

Thus, this leads to another question, does love means company then? Or maybe the willingness to forgive? bigblackwolf knew a friend that has given up on someone that he loves, so that she could be happy with the guy that she was already with. Do you think that this is true "love", that there is a willingness to sacrifice? Or would you call this man a coward for not being able to stand up for his own "love"? Or would you say that the love was not passionate enough that the man didn't dare to take the supposed risk? All in all,  from bigblackwolf's big eyes, it does seem to me that this friend do really love the girl intensely. But then again, what is love?

bigblackwolf too, have came across the feelings of love, however seldom nowadays compared to when she was young. He is smart, cute and funny, and bigblackwolf loved spending time with him. bigblackwolf does think about him everyday, all the time, and therefore dedicate this quote to him. However, does it mean that this intense feeling will last forever? bigblackwolf is not really sure where that the belief that this feeling of love MUST last forever originate from, but have no chance but to oblige to the social norm, especially when she lives in such a traditional country.

Which brings to another question. Can love only be felt with the "one" person? Then how do certain societies justify polygamy. If the former is true, then we certainly pity the folks who would never experience love in their life. Maybe next time for them, then.

All in all, bigblackwolf is also not a philosopher, a musician, an artist, an accomplished writer , nor is she close to Shakespeare that wrote 154 Sonnets that is entirely about this topic. However, she would just like to say that for this moment, whenever he was, there was Eden. And she definitely hopes that this moment will last forever. Love is what makes the world go round, after all, "great medical breakthroughs does not happen because one is a genius whatsoever, great medical breakthroughs happen, because one is scared as hell to stop trying."

For June who loved this garden, for John who always sat beside her.
