Do you think love is blind or maybe it just needs glasses?

Answer 1

Love is not blind. It sees but chooses to overlook faults in favour of the bliss and general happines a harmonious relationship can bestow.

Answer 2

Falling in love is one of the most irrational behaviors or brain states imaginable for both men and women. The brain becomes "illogical" in the throes of new romance, literally blind to the shortcomings of the lover. It is an involuntary state. Passionately being in love or so-called infatuation-love is now a documented brain state. It shares brain circuits with states of obsession, mania, intoxication, thirst, and hunger. It is not an emotion, but it does intensify or decreases other emotions. The being-in-love circuits are primarily a motivation system, which is different from the brain's sex drive area but overlaps with it. The is fevered brain activity runs on hormones and neurochemicals such as dopamine, estrogen, oxytocin, and testosterone.

The brain circuits that are activated when we are in love match those of the drug addict desperately craving the next fix. The amygdala--the brain's fear-alert system--and the anterior cingulate cortex--the brain's worrying and critical thinking system--are turned way down when the love circuits are running full blast. Much the same thing happens when people take Ecstasy: the normal wariness humans have toward strangers is switched off and the love circuits are dialed up. So romantic love is a natural Ecstasy high. The classic symptoms of early love are also similar to the initial effects or drugs such as amphetamines, cocaine, and opiates like heroin, morphine, and OxyContin. These narcotics trigger the brain's reward circuit, causing chemical releases and effects similar to those of romance. In fact, there's some truth to the notion that people can become addicted to love. Romantic partners, especially in the first six months, crave the ecstatic feeling of being together and may feel helplessly dependent on each other. Studies of passionate love show this brain state lasts for roughly six to eight months. The is such an intense state the beloved's best interest, well-being, and survival become as important as or more important than one's own.

Answer 3

Blind? I think love is the state of mind when a person can see past a nother's faults and see the beauty that is truly there, not what the person shows as there outer shell.

Answer 4

Love is drunk, most of the time... it's not that it can't see, it's just that things are a little blurry most of the time.

See, even when love seems simple and defined, all of a sudden it fuzzes up.

I have concluded that of all emotions, love is the emotion of intoxication. Love, therefore, is just drunk, not blind.

Answer 5

Love is not blind, but is a very profound form of *seeing|*


For when one falls in love, one is given a vision of the beauty of the other person, in which that other person's unique personal beauty can be seen|

The feeling of falling in love is to be given a foretaste of eternity, where there is infinite happiness and joy|


Although chemical states in the brain have been associated with falling in love - we have to realize that these are *mere associations* - not its essence|

Falling in love in its essence, is spiritual, in which in some way, one partakes of the happiness, goodness, and beauty of God, who is infinite goodness, truth, and beauty, through a finite reflection who is the person of the opposite sex who we have fallen in love with|
