Love.. what is love? A lot of people shared their views to what Love really is, or at least what Love is in their eyes. Perhaps love is just an illusion. A strong illusion, especially for those who are searching for a purpose of life. Is love an answer? Love can be wonderful, special, complicated, a distress, a gift, a curse, a tragedy, and most of all, an experience.
爱..什么是爱?许多人分享了他们关于爱到底是什么的看法,至少是在他们眼中爱是什么.也许爱只是一种幻觉。特别是对那些寻找生活目标的人来说，爱是一种强烈的幻觉。爱是一个答案吗？爱是奇妙的，特别的，复杂的。爱是一种不幸，一个礼物，一种诅咒，一个悲剧。最重要的是：爱是一种经历。
Love is a mysterious and a complicated force. What do a person mean when they say they love someone? Love is many different things. Each of us have our own understanding of Love is, and most of the time we base our definitions from feelings and experiences. The book defines love in many ways. "It is a strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties." It can be an affection and tenderness felt by lovers. Love is the object of attachment, devotion, or admiration.
爱是一种神秘的复杂的力量。当一个人说爱某一个人的时候意味着什么？爱是许多不同的东西。我们每个人都有自己对爱的独特理解，这种理解大多是基于我们对感觉和经验的定义而来的。圣经从许多方面定义了爱。“爱是一种由亲属关系或者私人联系导致的对另外一个人强烈的感情”。情人感觉到的爱是一种喜爱和体贴。爱是依恋、奉献和钦佩。
Just when we thought we finally grasp what love is, somebody asks:
正当我们以为我们终于理解了爱是什么的时候，有人问：
"Does anyone really know what 'LOVE' mean? I believe I have a true love, but 'True love' is always hurt, isn't it?"
“每个人真的都知道‘爱’意味着什么吗？我相信我拥有一份真爱，但是‘真爱’往往带来伤害，不是吗？”
I scratches my head with this thought and began to wonder. What is the answer to this? "This I have to know!" I said to myself. I looked in the mirror and asked "Is it a true love when you know you want to live with this special person for the rest of your life? Have we reached 'true love' when we are ready to give everything away towards our subject? or maybe when can go as far as to sacrifice ourselves for our love? What about love as an obsession? Is that possible?
我开始思考这一问题。到底这个问题的答案是什么呢？我对自己说：“我一定要知道答案”。我对着镜子问：“你知道你想要和这个特别的人度过余生，这就是真爱吗？当我们准备好放弃一切来靠近我们的目标，我们真的达到了真爱的境界嘛？或者是直到我们为了爱而完全牺牲了自己的时候，才达到了真爱的境界？如果说爱是一种痴迷会如何？那可能吗？”
"But isn't love suppose to be an obsession? If it is not, then you'd have to rationalize. If you rationalize then it's not love, because there is always a better rationalization."
“但是，难道爱不就应该是一种着魔嘛？如果不是的话，你不得不理性的对待它。但是如果你变的理性了，那就不是爱了，因为总会有更加理性的爱。”
"I think the "in love" phase is obsessive but according to Williamson (and backed up by my paltry experience), love does not involve the ego, is selfless and the opposite of obsession."
“我认为‘热恋’阶段是强迫性的，但是根据Williamson（根据我微不足道的经验，我支持他），爱不包括自我，爱是无私的并且与着魔相反。”
According to Marriane Williamson, the author of "A Return to Love," there is a "holy love" and a "special love." "The latter type is the obsessiveone; finding that one 'special' person absorbs ALL your attention."
根据《A Return to Love》的作者Marriane Williamson：“世间存在一种“圣洁的爱”和一种“特别的爱”，后一种爱是一种着魔，你会发现有一个特别的人吸引了你全部的注意力。”
So who is right and who is wrong about love? There is no wrong answer. Love is many wonderful things. Love may not work out all the time but it leaves you a special sort of feeling, like nothing you have ever imagined. Is love a purpose of life? I think are life will be dull without it. But is it necessary? Important? It is a part of life, and forever it will be a part of us.
谁对爱的理解是正确的呢？谁又是错的呢？根本就没有错误的答案。爱是许多奇妙的感觉。爱也许不能解决所有的事情，但是它带给你的是一种特别的感觉，这种感觉你从未想象的到。爱是生活的目标吗？我想没有爱的生活肯定是无趣的。但爱是必须的，重要的嘛？它是生活的一部分，并且它是我们本身的一部分。
