Blinded by love

By VANESSA E CHAMBERS 

HAVE you ever been in a relationship that had you doing things that you never thought you would, and no matter what common sense or other people said, you justified your actions by saying how much you care for this person?

Can infatuation/love make you blind?

Allia:

When you are with someone and to you everything is going great, it is hard for you to see the person’s flaws and even when you see them you find a way to make excuses for them.

David:

Infatuation can make the most intelligent person seem dumb and love can make the most logical person seem like an idiot.

Shaunice:

I have been caught up in love before and it does make you blind. I never saw what others saw, I just saw a man who I thought loved me. But once I got out of it I could see that he used me.

Eddie:

People will always ask if you didn’t see that she was no good for you, but the truth is that when you allow someone to come in your headspace and your heart, you are no longer the rational person you were before. You no longer see the things around you, all you see is her. Worst, if she means you no good, all you see is her.

Garth:

Yes, it makes you blind and stupid if you are weak and fragile. True love isn’t for the weak because love takes work. So love is for those who are strong and know who they are and what they want. So if you fall in love easily just because she flirts with you or he says good morning, God help you because people will use it against you and dig out your eyes.
