People say love is blind!! Its beyond every thing!! But tell me one thing is love "really" blind?? Cause can you actually think of falling in love with a "beggar"..??? Yes a beggar who is so smelly,dirty and unorganised and POOR!! Can even ever think of falling in love with a begger who is sitting just beside that road?? Please be honest in your answer and do tell me what do feel about this that love is actually blind!! :)

Hi stella1989.. This really depends upon the interpration of each person. We say that love is blind because he/she fell inloved with a person that is so impossible to happen, like the aforementioned example that you have stated above. On the other hand, some people might say that how come love is blind, how did he/she fell inloved with that person if he/she was not able to see the good things and personality behind that person? So there is really a confusing explanation with regards on this matter. For my own understanding, love is blind in a way that it does not choose any person, age, and state of life or personality. Love is not blind also because when you fall inlove with a person, you have seen some of the good things, personality, and behaviors that really inspired you most and that is why you have this feeling of love for him/her. Otherwise, there is no definite explanation to prove this one. Have a nice day and God speed!

Well if you get a chance to know the beggar and if he is a really nice man, who knows you may actually be in love with him? but i believe that you took the meaning really too far with that discussion. what the saying actually means is that if you love someone then their shortcomings doesnt matter to you. but to get involved in love in the first place you need to get attracted to that person. and that is where eyes come into play. so we can say love is blind but attraction definetly has eyes. after all you cant get attracted to a begger unless he is extremely handsome, the chances of which are in one in a million. dont you agree???

Thats the same thing what actually came to my mind..!! which made me start this discussion!! That is why I never name any of "liking" with a man who attracted me because of his looks as "love" I just call it attraction!! Thing is you get see or meet that beggar every day you become friend and then yuou find that that person is really caring...THIs leads to fall in love with him!! Never go on looks!! SEe the person within!! thanks for your response. :)

I sometimes believes that love is really blind... For proof, one of my bestfriend fall in love with a person she met while she was doing a volunteer work to entertain in a prison. And that person is a criminal who is charged for robbing and destroying atm machine. My gosh.. all of us, as a best friend always remind her that this is not correct. He is in jail and she is a nice and lovely girl who deserve a good man. But what can one say when there is love involved, she said that man is nice and she will wait till he is released in another 1 and half year...

Hi Stella, Love is blind, i wont say in sense that u fall in LOVE with Beggar. the possibilty is there but sure chances are rare. what i believe in phrase "LOVE IS BLIND" that when u r in love with some one then u dont care about society, people , family and other relation. The only focus is their LOVER, they are not concern about anyone else. In Love they are ready to do anything and every thing. Even in Love u have heard that both girl and boy left the families ans ranaway to have thier own life and leave thier families to face the WHOLE WORLD, Isnt it BLIND STEP so in love u take blind steps with no logic behind it, LOVE is BLIND and ILLOGICAL. thats why MIND is there so whenever u decide use both heart and mind. Take care

well people say ..you should always follow your heart..! because it will never ditch you or let you fail..! But still to be on the safer side ..I always say that I'll be with my brain on!! But still As I've experienced how love feels ....it only needs heart..!! I made this very mistake in my own relationship and now I now that you should always be with your heart atleast in your relationships..!! :)

If love is blind.... I'll find my way with you.... Remember this song? Love is blind because of: "Why she is the one?" "What is so special about her?" "Why can I marry to her?" etc. Hope this is useful.

Love is without introductory, I mean the first time you are falling in love with somebody, no matter in front of you burning fire, you still want to step into it. The emotion is covering and made your thought blind. Until one phase, you will ask yourself (sample question above). Not because in doubt, but just trying locate yourself back in the right place and find the answer of earlier phase. It's common in love phase.

Yes I can say I could fall in love with a beggar, it's shallow to say you cannot. People judge too much, what if that guy or girl was really the sweetest and most caring person in the world. You'll never know because of your ignorance. I'd rather take the time to get to know them.

According to me love is blind,blind is figurative in sense and not literally,blnd doesnt mean that you always fall in love with a beggar,but certainly you love someone with heart you never care if he is a beggar or not,in that sense love is blind.WE HEAR ABOUT A 70 YEAR OLDMAN MARRYING 20 YEAR OLD,this is an example of love blindness, you love his heart and personlaity rather than his/her social status or appearence because in love you think with heart and not with brain

Love is blind and Falling in love with a dirty begger are two different statements. Of course, it requires lots of courage to fall in love with a dirty begger and one thins is clear love cannot be one sided, you cannot fall in love with a beggar, just for the sake of falling in love. When two persons falls in love, then it turns blind, they forget each other's negative and unpleasent points.

Hi stella! I think love is blind depending on the level or how the two have gone far in their relationship. When two people are in love with each other in such a way that they don't want to do anything that will hurt themselves then, they tend to do things blindly, but you hardly find such love as most of them are playing games. Hey! Love has nothing to do with how poor or rached is. The bible says "God is love" and Love is God. Since love is full of compassion and care, then one can fall in love with a beggar. Thanks

I do not believe love is blind, I believe love allows you to excuse things you wouldn't normally excuse. My husband is a slob and he has some habits that I don't entirely love at all. But because I love him, I deal with it. He is working on some of his problems but I know that we are not all perfect.

i to came across this doubt in my mind past but now i think and belive that love is blind.we don't know when you loose your heart as per the todays generation.as you ask that can you fall in love with a begger yes she meets to my thinking. the only thing is that we can't spent time with them as they are really disgusting why so is they don't want to work if they provide and they need money with out any hardwork that's wrong in my view.

Love is blind. When people made this statement they probably didn't take into consideration that people won't talk to dirty, nasty, smelly people (unless it's a pitty chat). I believe that love is blind, but people are not! You could be the richest person alive, and fall in love with the lowest piece of scum there is (but would you admit it?).

Love isnt really blind it just doesnt mind or its accepting the person inspite of his/her flaw. Like on your example falling in love with a beggar is possible because you had seen one characteristic on him that is very important on you that you cannot find on another person or is hard to find. Its really acceptance not blindness we see but we don't mind.

It seems that love is blind. I did see a fat person married to a thin person. I did see a couple where one was a hillbilly and the other was a supermodel. I saw a couple where the man is old enough to be his wife's grandpa. I saw in a talk show.
