In the same breath they then applied this word to the person they considered most important in their lives. Wasn’t that insulting? Shouldn’t there be some other term to describe deeper emotion? Humans were so preoccupied with love. They were all desperate to form an attachment to one person they could refer to as their “other half.” It seemed from my reading of literature that being in love meant becoming the beloved’s entire world. The rest of the universe paled into insignificance compared to the lovers. When they were separated, each fell into a melancholy state, and only when they were reunited did their hearts start beating again. Only when they were together could they really see the colors of the world. When they were apart, that color leached away, leaving everything a hazy gray. I lay in bed, wondering about the intensity of this emotion that was so irrational and so irrefutably human. What if a person’s face was so sacred to you it was permanently inscribed in your memory? What if their smell and touch were dearer to you than life itself? Of course, I knew nothing about human love, but the idea had always been intriguing to me. Celestial beings never pretended to understand the intensity of human relationships; but I found it amazing how humans could allow another person to take over their hearts and minds. It was ironic how love could awaken them to the wonders of the universe, while at the same time confine their attention to one another.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Alexandra Adornetto" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/alexandra-adornetto/one-of-the-most-frustrating-words-in-the-human-language-as-far-as-i-3/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c6b/alexandra-adornetto-2594_human-love_one-of-the-most-frustrating-words-in-the_2502352.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c6b/alexandra-adornetto-2594_human-love_one-of-the-most-frustrating-words-in-the_2502352.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c6b/alexandra-adornetto-2594_human-love_one-of-the-most-frustrating-words-in-the_2502352.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“One of the most frustrating words in the human language, as far as I could tell, was love.
