Post Valentines Day

Hello all!

So Valentines day was this past monday, and I hope everyone had a great one. Even if you are a single bitter women that hates the day all together, hopefully you got some chocolate out of it :) Anyways tonight in my blog I want to analyze the facebook status that I posted on Valentines day. This was a quote that I googled ad found it appropriate for the day so decided to post it:

"Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own."

First off, this sentence states that love is a condition. I have always felt like love is a feeling or a state of being I guess you could say. A condition, to me, is more like when a doctor tells you that you have a condition known as arthritis or when they tell you that you are not in the condition to exercise. More of a physical meaning I guess. Secondly about this sentence is that it states that love is when the happiness of someone else is more important to you then your own. Is this what truly makes us happy? Seeing that our loved ones are happy. I would say this could be true. When you have seen a loved one that is sad or depressed you often have no control over feeling sad with them. When a loved one is happy, even if you are sad about something, you often cant help yourself from feeling happy for them and that in return makes you happy. Maybe the happiness in others is what truly triggers the happiness in ourself. If you think about it, is there really a time when you were feeling down and a loved one came to you with very exciting news about themselves and you were not able to become happy for them and with them? I highly doubt it. So to conclude this analysis, I believe that this statement speaks the truth 100%. When the happiness of another person is the true factor for the happiness of yourself then you have truly discovered love in its most rewarding way.
