    Love is a joke.

    You mean your signature "She Made Me See The World In A Grain Of Sand" - A joke? You have strange sense of humour -)

      Salaam all,

      Love is the most beutiful state of mind.Because Love brings happiness and compassions . The only negative things when you are in love with someone is that you can lost reality.It's like you're living in a dream.Like you walk on pink clouds all day long.

      But an illusion nah then would all feelings being illusions.

      I'm in love with life right now, it can sound very strange when I'm in the middle of a divorce but I'm in love.

      Peace

        "Is love a tender thing? It is too rough,
        Too rude, too boist'rous; and it pricks like thorn."

          Salaam Jaxal,

          William Shakespear right, well love can be painful too and I know what you mean!

          But we cannot altogether point out that love is painful because it can be painful roll

          I like when love is painful so I feel that I'm alive lol

          Peace

            And what does 'the darkness' say about love?

            The first flush of youth was upon you when our eyes first met
            And I knew that to you and into your life I had to get
            I felt light-headed at the touch of this stranger's hand
            An assault my defences systematically failed to withstand

            'Cos you came at a time
            When the pursuit of one true love in which to fall
            Was the be all and end all

            Love is only a feeling
            (Drifting away)
            When I'm in your arms I start believing
            (It's here to stay)
            But love is only a feeling
            Anyway

                    • William Shakespeare

                    For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.

                    Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,

                    So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth...

                    -Khalil Gibran

                    but also

                    To know the pain of too much tenderness.
                    To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
                    And to bleed willingly and joyfully.

                    -Khalil Gibran

                    So love is no joke is it?
                    You can feel the pain of it as in Sweet Poison. And poisons are bad?
                    But all medicines are poisons but they can be still good for us?

                    There is no BS in Love, only Broken hearted see it that way... -)
                    Love is the way it is...

                    But question is - Is Love an Illusion?
                    You did not answer -(

                      Im inspired to believe that everything is an "illusion."

                      What we view as "real" is "real" because of our view.

                      But this is not to say that we have no right to take illusions seriously

                        Salaam,

                        Allah swt has created us to have feelings as the five senses.

                        So to say that is an illusion is for me wrong.

                        Broken heart or not, Love is still beautiful and we have to go through it to feel good in life.

                        And why did Allah created us to having sex, not only for having babies because why then is sex a pleasure and lustful!?

                        Anyway is it any of you who have heard that song who really describe an sexual intercourse!?

                        I heard it by an accident because I borrow my daughters mp3 and listening on the train and suddenly this incredible song popped up and i felt very ashamed ops

                        I don't want to write the text here because I know here is sensitive people.

                        Peace

                          Yes, love is indeed an illusion and a pretty bad one at that.

                            Peace All,

                            Here's a question...besides the biological mechanics of life (eating, sleeping, breathing, etc.), what action, non-action, decision, or non-decision can you think of that is not rooted in love or lack thereof?

                            Why do you work?
                            Why do you give?
                            Why do you sacrifice?
                            Why do you compromise?
                            Why do you lie?
                            Why do you tell the truth?
                            Why do you learn?

                            etc. etc.

                            Peace,
                            Tay

                                It's very suprising someone posted this. Love is a real thing. Scientists have discovered a broken heart is a physical pain that is felt by the heart. To tell you the truth I don't know whether love is an illusion or an obsession or whether it is a unique feeling that cannot be described by words.

                                Love isn't a good thing at the moment for me in my books cry

                                PEACE

                                  Why do you work? - 'cause i needs the moneys

                                  Why do you give? - 'cause i believe in a cause greater than I

                                  Why do you sacrifice? - it's inevitable

                                  Why do you lie? - 'cause I'm an asshole

                                  Why do you tell the truth? - 'cause I'm an asshole

                                  Why do you learn? - 'cause it's my passion

                                      jaxal, i can kinda see where ur coming from, but maybe you just dont want love to mean anything more than a ''rose''
                                      or maybe you have a flaud definition of love,
                                      love is a good thing, the rest of the world isn't crazy
                                      peace

                                        IF you are reffering that love is so good and yada yada becoz how to people care for each other. Then here is a secret. 2 people dont have to be in love to actually care for each other. 2 people are just fine without love. Its when they love that things go wrong.

                                          Peace,

                                          I have read about love in connection to oneness and peace --in oppostion to affection or love for a person or family or group.

                                          If we are one in essence, the good or the bad we do to others we are doing to ourselves. From this perspective, the aim of becoming a loving person for all looks easier. 'All' includes our enemies too. This can be possible if we are in the state of peace. This love demmands not seeking anything in return.

                                          The other concept of love, for specific people and expecting something in return, say for the children or familiy or friends,or the husband and wife would be called differently, maybe affection or something else.

                                          Anwering the question, my answer is not, love is n ot an illusion.
