Do you think love is blind because you can't see what your eyes see about the weakness of the person you love. I think it's not blindness but foolishness. When we are in love we sometimes don't know what we are supposed to do or think. All we know is the burning fire inside our hearts, that keep us living everyday in a special way because of that person whom we fall in love with. I experienced this during my teenage years. And now, I'm falling inlove so many times everyday but to the same man. And it was Him. I'm also a fool. LOL!

Is love really blind.I wonder.Having being happily married and some of the time not so happily,for 30 years.I cannot help but ask myself more frequently whether my love is blind.Unsurprisingly to myself, the answer seems to be affirmative.How else would i have been able to go through the various difficult times in our relationship?logic would dictate that we would have broken up by now.The next question that been asking is whether it had been good that my love is blind.

I dont think that love is blind. I guess when we are in love, we just see more of the goodness of the person we are in love with and we also see the bad side of him, but we see it less and we don't mind. When ones heart is engulfed in love towards someone, the tendency is to favor that person more, so even if there are things that hurt us brought about by liking that someone too much, we still find ways to make it all justifiable and normal because we are pleased with the way we feel about that someone.

Wow great! I was moved by what you have said. That's what you called true and everlasting love. I don't know but somehow i can relate because I experience that already can you believe that? I thought I was a fool!

Hmmm...I think it depends on our point of view. I agree with you that it`s foolishness. It happened to me when I was still in relationship with my ex. People said that I was blinded by his look, but he is a person who doesn`t want to take risk to fight for our relationship despite so many problems involving his big family ( he is my brother-in-law`s cousin, and his relationship with my in-law family was a little bit troubled). He didn`t want to take any risk until i found that he got another girl. After he broke up, he contacted me, asking how i was doing and he tried to deny by saying"we broke up not because of another woman". I asked him back"WHat are you talking about?just remember what you have done to me, you left me after I got green light from my mom". Then he said"I still have that feeling for you". Now, I feel thankful that he is not my husband. He may be handsome, but I am sure GOD knows better that he is not the right for me

For love be true it must be blind. For love to be blind it means the vessel though which it flows refuses or chooses not to see undesirable features of their object of affection. These seemingly undesirable features include blindness, poverty, not being a member of the high social strata.

For me love is not blind. This is the common thing we address LOVE if we are to look at it based on physical definitions. Love has never been blind at all. If it is, then there's no LOVE in the world. We are not all happy in our lives and we don't even know happiness and sadness. LOVE is an emotion where you feel desirable about yourself and your partner. LOVE is positive in nature and therefore it SEES the inner and external beauty of life.

Love is not blind in today's society.People says they love someone but they only love them because their parents is beautiful...today's love is based on looks so then how could love be blind?....but to me if two lover die for their love is enough nothing more then that.As saying "you don't love with your eyes you love with your heart".

When we were asked to draw about what we think about love in our Lit class, my friend draw this heart with an eye patch on the left eye. Then she said that the reason why the heart has an eye patch is because people believe that love is blind. On the other hand, the reason why the other eye doesn't have a cover because she personally believes that "love isn't blind; it sees but it doesn't mind." Yes, I agree with her. I believe that there is no such thing as blind when it comes to love. We just consciously ignore the fact that we see the bad side of loving someone, therefore making us a "fool", just like what you said. And there is nothing wrong in being crazy in love, as long as the person you love doesn't abuse the love you give him/her. When that happens, ask yourself: is it really love, or just obsession?

Sometimes I really believe that it is really blind but it depends upon the person. I think that is a normal fact that many people are in love with a person despite of his flaws.

Love is not blind, they said it sees but it doesn't mind.When we love a person we let our heart control our emotions and we tend to forget that we still have brains to think. Even the most intelligent person can't think properly when they are in love, probably all people who are in love are really foolish as you said. But we can't deny the fact that being in love is one of the happiest emotion that we feel. We can beat all odds and it's sometimes feels good to be fooled just to be happy. :))

Its just a saying that love is blind.But its not true.People say this way because some couples they blindly fall in love without seeing their cast, they are not concerned that their parents will agree or not. Thats why it is said that love is blind.
