had maths till 7 today. i'm tired. i'm just so sick of it sometimes.

anyway, here's sth we learnt in literature.

Love can easily be corrupted by a false appreciation for the experience, especially as that corruption manifests itself in sentimentality and posing, a tendency not to confront the experience directly and honestly but to wrap oneself up in the conventional language of love and to adopt the conventional poses of the distraught lover. There are many dangers of falling in love or with the conventions of love rather than looking directly at or listening clearly to the object of one's love. Such tendencies are dangerous because they cloud people's perceptions and their feelings making them unintelligently sentimental and therefore dishonest to themselves and others.

hmm...so what they are saying here is that love is a complicated matter...it's not just a feeling or emotion...it's more of a need for every human beings. eveyone wants to feel love or be loved in one way or another as it's a nice feeling to have. therefore human beings are always often being disillusioned when it comes to love. Being disillusioned here means being trapped and engulfed in their own emotional feelings and stuffs. Being trapped in their own internal sufferings. Human beings are sensitive when it comes to topics like love and we often get drifted away from reality. Love is such a wonderful feeling to have or delve with that sometimes we think we are in love with a person when all we are is actually is just being in love or loving the idea of love. Sometimes we get too carried away with love that we often think that we suffer from it and become the so called "distraught" lover. But in actual fact, we are just loving the idea of being and love and we are just loving the feeling it gives to us, the pain, the agony, and the joy. That's just how complicated love is.
