Love is a choice not a feeling~

Was curious about the meaning of marital ring in a wedding ceremony.
Did a quick Google keyword search and bump into this phrase,

“love” is a choice and not only a feeling.

With this, it explains everything about the common 三角恋爱 plot conflict in HK TV series,
到底你心里面还有没有我？
If one is to follow the common understanding of “love”
one will have a hard time to answer that question in a conflict situation.

But if we understand that “LOVE” is a choice,
It’s really up to one to make the decision,
and stick to it.

Therefore marriage is really a big decision as
the deadline of a marital vow is eternal.

As for the path leading to the eternal vow,
courtship should also be thoroughly thought through
before progressing further.

All these are based on the FAITH that GOD had all the plans ready for us
since the beginning of time,
and that includes our life-partner.

Of course this reminds me of God’s “LOVE”,
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son,
that whoever believes in HIM shall not perish but have eternal life.

God chose to LOVE us, unconditionally
and eternally.
Thus, His heartbeat is “none shall perish”,
everyone is given a chance to accept His LOVE,
as God Himself have long made the decision to LOVE us.

Oh well… some of you might be wondering,
“It’s been a long time since joshuatj last posted on his blog,
and now he’s blogging about love…. ^^”

Well… the truth is I’m currently watching “岁月风云” (episode 16 now)
and like other chinese pop TV series plots,
it’s always about LOVE and relationships.

After long hours of immersing in the plot,
it gives me a feeling of despair that people nowadays
are having a hard time managing relationships.

After some mental acrobatics,
I think I’ve located the problem.
The core of the problem,
is just like what I’ve said earlier,
a misunderstanding of LOVE.

I’m not trying to be a LOVE expert here,
but what I’ve written are just some of my thoughts (products of my mental acrobatics).

If you have something to say about what I’ve said,
please voice it out.

Mental Acrobatics is best done in groups where IDEAS bounce around. ^^
