The Difference between Loving Someone and Being 'In Love'
Living life as a human being can be quiet
complicated. What may look fine from outside may be raging hurricane inside.
Similar to this thought is the feeling of love and the emotions that come with
it. It is a thin line that differentiates the feeling of being in love and
loving someone.
The heady feeling of being in
love and emotions of loving someone though may sound familiar, but are poles
apart in sense. When we are in love we actually go through a series of unknown
feelings of care, jealousy, of sharing our dreams and desires. But it is this
elusive feeling of being in love that actually evolves to give you the feeling
of loving the person. You move up from
the momentary rush of the attraction, infatuation, to a more mature stage of
wishing for a person to have a good life, caring for you partners needs and
dreams.
If we pay attention to smaller details, we can
easily see that in a relationship of a married couple it’s the “honeymoon
period” that is the real “in love” phase. Emotions have surprise highs and lows
and it’s the relationship’s strength that gets tested.
It’s the phase where the naïve
love matures to a wiser one. Unsure emotions turn in to faith, selfish turns to
unconditional sacrifices. This is the stage where you are no more in love but
you start loving somebody. This is the kind of feeling that assures that your
relationship is on the track toward an everlasting one.
But, different people have
different perceptions for even the smallest hint of feelings that have
something to do with being in love or loving someone.
