{ Thoughts About ..


How do you love someone?
In the movies and love stories, its love from first sight.
But I don’t believe in this kind of love.
How can you love someone with knowing who they are really?
How can we just depend on physical attraction?
I asked this question to my friends and they are all advocates of love from first sight.
A girl told me that Gad brings heart together without reasons; you just destined to love this particular person.
Well, I don’t know about that; I mean I would love to have my own say in this matter!
When you “love” someone from first sight, you tend to ignore every negative thing about them. Either you ignore it totally or you find good justifications. In the long run, when the fire goes or as we say "راحت السكرة و جاءت الفكرة", you will wonder why the hell I’m with this person? What made me love him? I’m such an idiot!
I think that true love comes from the love of minds.
When you love someone’s personality and ideology, that’s make love concrete.
Instead of just holding each other’s hands and look in the eyes until you are bored or find better eyes to daze in; you will talk, discuss, share and grow together.
For me personally, there are certain criteria other than good look that I can’t give up.
I know love is universal but I don’t think I can fall for a non-Arab and a non- Muslim.
There has to be a shared background that you can build on.
Arabs and Muslims have a totally different way of living and school of thoughts.
Especially for me, I believe Islam is not just a religion; it’s a way of living.
I don’t need any cultural shock in my love life, thank you very much.

Of course without passion even this mind love won’t work.
You have to be balanced, physical love + mind love= good love life =)
In the end,
Who can give a law to lovers? Love is a greater law unto itself
