Understanding Love

A philosopher once told me that love cannot be understood in a lab; a human heart cannot be cut open, so as to remove love for weight or size measurements, or even knowing its color. It is at that moment that I decided to make my heart a living lab; a lab with no microscopes, test-tubes or white-coats. I wanted to investigate what love really is, with my own rules. Heartbreaks, ecstasy, sadness, and thrill became the elements to use to see how love reacted to them; I had a chance to do “emotional fusion” with strangers and familiar people. After this sanity-damned experiment, the findings were as insane as a shell floating in an aquarium. The image of love seemed like mixing sugar and salt together, to make a cup of tea!
