why love is blind?

Percy Sledge -- When a Man Loves a Woman

When a man loves a woman
Down deep in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she plays him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Lovin' eyes can't ever see

Scientists have shown that there is a degree of truth in the old adage that love is blind.
They have found that feelings of love lead to a suppression of activity in the areas of the brain controlling critical thought.

It seems that once we get close to a person, the brain decides the need to assess their character and personality is reduced.

The study, by University College London, is published in NeuroImage.

The researchers found that both romantic love and maternal love produce the same effect on the brain.

They suppress neural activity associated with critical social assessment of other people and negative emotions.

The UCL team scanned the brains of 20 young mothers while they viewed pictures of their own children, children they were acquainted with, and adult friends.

The team found that the patterns of brain activity were very similar to those identified in an earlier study looking at the effects of romantic love.

Origin
From Shakespeare's The Merchant Of Venice.

JESSICA: Here, catch this casket; it is worth the pains.
I am glad 'tis night, you do not look on me,
For I am much ashamed of my exchange:
But love is blind and lovers cannot see
The pretty follies that themselves commit;
For if they could, Cupid himself would blush
To see me thus transformed to a boy.

Love becomes 'blind' when the person does not see what matters or what should matter. Love should be bound to the reality of the beloved, a reality that is fundamentally true, good, and desirable. Love does not build castles in the air, but establishes sturdy foundations.

People in love are so involved in each other that they used to live/behave/communicate in a peculiar way which often is beyond so-called "logical" or "realistic".
