I’ll Never Fall In Love Again.
How many times have you resolved not to fall in love again? And yet, once the wounds have healed, we just fall in love again; time and time again. And when we fall in love, we forget all our good resolutions and break all our own rules.
The strange part of it is that we usually a fall in love with strangers. Let’s face it, we don’t look into the eyes of somebody we have known for years and then suddenly go weak in the knees. It is a stranger that does that to you. If you don’t want to fall in love, avoid meeting or seeing strangers. But then there is probably a built in cut out switch somewhere to allow you to fall in love with a known person in the absence of strangers.
A man and a woman who have known each other for years will not fall in love with each other, even though they may be a perfect match. However, it may happen that they can come to their senses and decide to throw their lot together. Given some time, they will grow to love each other and spend a lifetime in happiness but that was not falling in love. It is a cultivated love brought about by a logic decision and probably has the best chance of success.
I think falling in love is a primitive breeding instinct to ensure the survival of the human species. And it is built into our genes to fall in love with strangers to diversify our genetic material. Inbreeding had never been good for any genetic pool.
Have a great day and I hope you meet many strangers. One of them may just be the one you've been waiting for.
