Understanding The ‘Love At First Sight’ Syndrome

It’s noteworthy that mere speculation may lead to more expectation. Also, real jubilation could warrant rare tribulation.

The above clause calls for deep thought amongst wise thinkers. But in case you need my assistance while romancing over it, don’t hesitate to call my attention so we can collectively do the analysis.

A few nights ago, I ran vigorously in my dream more than I’d ever done since my childhood. I couldn’t imagine myself indulging in such tedious activity, just as anyone who knows me too well cannot possibly imagine seeing me in such a mood. But I knew why I ran, and that was my utmost joy. Thus, I saw the euphoria coming as a consequence to that.

I know you may be asking yourself what kind of run I solely indulged in. Never mind, since the fact remains that I achieved success. Therefore, the Lord is good and shall continue to be good. In other words, if you embarked on a certain worthwhile activity and came out successfully, you must not relent to give the Supreme Being an eulogy irrespective of the nature of challenges you may have faced in the process.

Lest I digress, today’s topic is very much concerned about ‘love at first sight’, which has remained a recurring phenomenon in contemporary global society.

Love is a symbol which signifies your appreciation for someone/something’s existence. Thus, love at first sight is the act of appreciating something/someone’s existence at your first meeting or encounter with the person or thing.

Love has been a very strong factor existing between two or more animals or persons, and remains the most outstanding symbol that unites and strengthens any existing relationship. From time immemorial, taking human beings as a case study, the womenfolk has remained a force of attraction to the menfolk. Such attraction can never be formidable or real if love is not involved. Let’s ride on!

Several actions and reactions in respect of love have been emerging unabated, which have hitherto resulted in many pathetic phrases or clauses such as “The first time I set my eyes on you, I fell in love with you”, or “My spirit told me I have found my missing rib, at my first meeting with you”, just to mention a few.

Love, which is one of the branches of emotions, has ruined or misled millions of people worldwide who had mistaken lust for it (love). There is a very strong demarcation or dichotomy between love and lust, which we are bound to understand. In Physics, it’s called “parallax”. Parallax is defined as two parallel lines that have no meeting point.

Beloved, it sounds extremely crazy for one to say that he/she fell in love with a thing or person at his/her first meeting with the thing/person. There are certain ingredients/qualities that lead to appreciating something or someone as the case may be.

You can never discover such qualities in a person or thing at your first encounter with them. Take for instance, if you’re a man, for you to appreciate a woman who just walked into your life, you must discover the general or entire beauty of the woman, which can never be done even in a few weeks.

The general beauty of any woman does not end on what or those things you can see by merely looking at her. It’s the interior and exterior qualities of a person that constitute his/her general beauty.

The exterior ones are those you can see while looking at him/her, which could be discovered within a day, while the interior ones are those that seem to be hidden and can only be discovered having spent some reasonable time with the person in question, which could take months, or even years.

The interior qualities/beauty of a man or woman are his/her mentality, manners, morality, level of simplicity, and so on. These are the qualities that can enable you to fully appreciate his/her nature or personality.

Same process is applicable to a thing. For example, you can never love a car at your first sight. For one to love a certain car, he/she must have discovered the entire qualities of the car.

In a nutshell, apparently, there’s no ‘love at first sight’. It’s appalling that virtually everyone has derailed due to this anomaly. So it’s high time we woke up.

We must, therefore, desist from this lingering naughty jubilation that could lead to disastrous tribulation.
