But love is blind, and lovers cannot see
The pretty follies that themselves commit.
William Shakespeare, “The Merchant of Venice”
People in a relationship can choose to be blinded by their love, but this should not always be the case. The idea that “love is blind” does not even, technically, exist and this ideology was only borne from men and women who are looking for love.
Desperately seeking for love, we often get blinded with what we think love should be, instead of how it is. If you think about it, if love is in
deed blind, then we wouldn’t be wasting time trying to look good in front of our partners. Instead, we hide all our imperfections behind the cloak of perfection. Love, in itself, is not blind and it was never meant to be so.
Often enough, we hide behind this ideology to excuse all the mistakes we’ve made in the course of our relationships. But you should take into notice that blinded love is not real love. The idea is great but, nevertheless, is unreal.
