When we fall in love we focus on the good sides of your partner and dismiss the bad sides. We can see them but we don't think of them as being as bad as they really are.

Ask all the people applying for a divorce in droves. They must have been suffering temporary blindness (which is possibly just lust) because once the rose-coloured glasses came off, the downward spiral began. Real love is probably never blind, it is aware, but tolerant.

We all fall for the people we find to be attractive in our eyes...note "in our eyes"...they may not be attractive in another person eyes as much as you see them, so people say that love is blind, but also love is blind regarding color, race, ethnicity...we fall for who we have feelings for sometimes regardless of race, we love who we love, and almost become blind to the fact that this person may be of another ethnicity, still there has to be a level of attractiveness in any case...so maybe love is not so blind huh.

Well, if we're talking about romantic love, then, yes it is blind. It's an emotion, like every emotion. From my experience - We can get so addicted to it, that we deny that anything in the relationship could be harmful. We don't SEE things objectively, but through a "love lense". We loose our ground and somewhat our objective rationality...

It's probably one of the most truthful quotes we have. When you fall in love with someone you see only what you want to see, you blind yourself to their faults.

Love is blind means that:the falling in love person usually only sees his/her good behaviour in the surface and neglecting the real behaviour in his/her everyday life.Besides that,person in love will avoid his/her bad temper be known by his girlfriend or by her boy friend..He/she will know only in her/his appearance physi- cally.His/her eyes do not catch the real inner beauty/handso
me or inner bad habit.They are misled by his/her own lust.Everythig of his/her friend is good and attracted .But after married they will know the reality that is man/woman is not perfect..

It may be true for romantic love, when people don't know how to put their emotions in the right perspective . But true love has nothing to do with emotions only, true love has discernment and wisdom and is strong.

Sounds good on the surface, but real love is aware of faults, and loves anyway.
