Have you ever really been in love? Do you remember the silliest thing you’ve ever done for the person you loved? Those first feelings–the overwhelming feelings of desire, the obsessive need to touch, to hold, and to be with someone–have thrown all of us into frenzies of emotional activity, and sometimes serious foolishness. Love’s emotions move us beyond the realm of reason.
When people are really in love, they do “crazy” things. From the outside, it looks like madness. Thoughts of our beloved crowd everything else out. We forget to eat, we forget appointments, we forget responsibilities, and we’re consumed by our feelings. Everything we think, do, or say is defined by the presence or absence of the person we love. Love propels us into a feverish preoccupation with another person. You remember, right?
