If you're in love, you see the person as an idealized form, or they look better and better every time you see them because you love them. Like I had a therapist who wasn't the world's most handsome guy, but I loved him from the first time I talked to him because he was so kind and paternal and we just clicked. So when I thought of him, I smiled and when I saw him, I felt happy, and he looked good when I saw him because of what he represented--all those times he helped me through tough spots and all the insight he helped me to have and all the times he stood up for me and helped me become less miserable. I think Roxanne said something about it in the Steve Martin movie.
If I'd just seen a picture of my therapist without knowing him, I might not have thought he looked that good, but when I met him, I saw his twinkly eyes and his sweet smile and his cute little bald head and I thought he looked great. So love tempered what my eyes saw. Love takes away harsh judgments and cruelty and cutting remarks. Your eyes see, but don't register the truth of a person--you can "see" what a person is like well enough and maybe even better if you rely on what the person is like and how the person makes you feel. Handsome (or pretty) is as handsome does.

I agree. Love is an emotion that bonds people together, a bond which is felt not seen. In the Greek tragedy Oedipus Rex, when Oedipus has sight he is blind to the truth and only when he blinds himself does he see things for what they are.

God's love for us allows himself to be blinded by that love for us to a limited state. As any parent would be. In this, when we ask in his son's name Yeshua (Jesus) we are forgiven and we can then see again. As a child asked Daddy forgive me.
Agapao (verb) and agape (noun). This is the "Christian love" of the Bible. It means affection, benevolence, good-will, high esteem and concern for the welfare of the one loved. It is deliberate, purposeful love rather than emotional or impulsive love. Almost all of the New Testament references to love are agapao or agape in the original Greek. The King James Version sometimes translates agape as "charity," but charity has now taken on the meaning of assistance to the poor rather than benevolent love. This is the perfect Love, which God has for us. Our Well Being.
You have heard that the law of Moses says, "Love your neighbor and hate your enemy." But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and on the unjust, too. If you love only those who love you, what good is that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much. If you are kind only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? Even pagans do that. But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect. (Matthew 5:43-48)
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. (Deuteronomy 6:4-5)
Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end... And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love. (1 Corinthians 13:4-8, 13)

I agree. You don't see the persons downfalls until after the initial lust fades away. Hopefully then you really know you love the person and can accept a few bad habits. We all have them.

Easy solution: close your eyes... and you'll see clearly (black is not blurry - it's a color, and you can clearly see it, right?)
Make this your best answer!
