@John Trenor,
Quote:love is blinding no less than the rays of the sun
True. Sufficiently strong emotions do tend to suppress one's intellect. But mature love is more than a strong emotion. Often times people who say they are "in love" are in fact captivated by some emotion and the feelings they associate with another person. But I believe no one can function in that state for forever. Eventually everyone comes down off of that "high", and what one does at that point often shows what their "love" is made of.
Without being wrong one's interpretation of the quote reveals their understanding of love.
If you, the reader, are unfamiliar with love, love is a concept that has no limit to it's comprehension. The more you put into it from every angle of participation the more you understand the concept. Love, like Tao, can not be communicated effectively by words and must be experienced to be known.
