About This Quote
Falling in love is an attempt to locate, picture, represent what you unconsciously feel frustrated about, and by. The old saying “Love is blind” is a statement that is very common in our society. But what do we really mean by this? We are so blinded by love that we don’t realize the person we are in love with may not be everything we want. Because of our blind love, we get hurt when our desire is not met. We get hurt when the person who was supposed to fulfill all of our dreams and expectations fails us or does not live up to our expectations.
