In a more conventional context, love happens when there's "chemistry" between 2 individuals. And usually, the physical attraction would be the main formula of the chemistry:- when their eyes meet, that sweet smile, that nice build body.. etc. However, do we really need physical attribution to make that "chemistry" explode?
If we were to compare the movie 'Shallow Hal', it doesn't matter how one's physical appearance looks like BUT it is the beauty within that matters the most. Hal falls deeply in love with Rosemary because of her inner beauty, that even when he was hypnotized back, he still wants to love her despite of her huge figure. He could see the inner beauty so visibly that her physical looks doesn't matter at all to him. There was a part in the movie when he was talking to his best friend, "Ok, imagine if you could see Wonder woman in that person, even if others don't see likewise, do care about the rest? NO right?".Therefore, if one could already see the inner beauty of the other person, will that be enough to convince others (or perhaps to convince himself/herself) that love can actually happen regardless?
Alright, enough comments about physical looks. How about one's inner being, that one was born to be in that particular way? If that 'unique' person is sincere about his / her love, would you want to sincerely accept it? Take the movie 'Forest Gump' as a fine example. He was born with a lower IQ compared to the rest, he's a little slow & at times very blur. And, he falls deeply in love with his childhood friend, Jenny for as long as he could remember. Jenny refused his love and only wanted to be his friend, but he'd always protect her, he'd always think of her wherever he went, but sadly it has always been a one-sided love. However eventually, over the years, she did come back to him, and finally accepted his love. Therefore, does this mean that if one person loves you more than you love that person, would you agree to accept that love over time? How do you learn to accept that 'unique' person as he/she is sincerely? Is love really about accepting or compromising each other?
For me, isn't love just a special connection between 2 individuals regardless on how they look or born to be? As long as they feel comfortable & happy with each other, and were there for each other, isn't that sufficient to make love happen? It doesn't matter what other people think about them, just as long as they are happy with themselves, right? So many unanswered questions, hopefully we'll know the truth about love in time.
This funny thing call love.. it's just something to ponder about..
