Love, attraction, infactuation — are these different avatars of the same emotional excess?
Is it overrated? Does it exist? Is it just balderdash?

Running – it’s a mind thing
By merril
20/03/2012 3:06 pmhey rads and Geetha, thanks for your comments. Glad Suraj’s write-up motivated you both. All the best for the marathon in June, Geetha!!! come and read the post in case you feel low about it at any time…also, here’s something a friend shared yest:
“Don’t aim at success—the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side-effect of one’s dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one’s surrender to a person other than oneself.

Running – it’s a mind thing
By Geetha
19/03/2012 8:30 pmThanks so much for this, Merril.
That was a real motivation to read. I am planning to do walk/jog the 10K marathon in June and it was truly inspiring to read your post. There are plenty of reasons that I would do it, but I still keep thinking if I did the right thing by registering for it, the first and foremost being that am I fit enough? But as I read through your post, it does hit me that you are absolutely right, it is a mind thing

19/03/2012 6:24 pmIndeed.
Thank you for this. I am in similar position, as in attempting to push myself and my body to do what I never dreamed of or thought capable of considering injuries, weight gain and general malaise.I intend to walk/run the 5K in May, but am attempting it this Saturday just to see if I can do it. It will be a big challenge, and your post has helped immensely. It is a mind thing.

“Love” has so many different meanings. Other languages do a better job of having different words for the different defintions.
Based on how I would define love, they are not the same. Each can exist without the other. Love and infatuation are almost mutually exclusive, but an attraction can lead to either one.
Overrated??? The world wouldn’t be full of songs and poetry and literature about it if it were.
Exists??? If it didn’t, we wouldn’t.
Balderdash??? Depends on the subjective views of who you were asking.
To wonder what prompted this….
Brian pretty much explained it all. Duh – Love Exist – Even infatuation or the strongest passions and attraction would’nt hold me 11 years and still
