If you’ve ever felt so strongly about someone that you’re 100% sure that eternal love must exist, take a moment to read our take on the subject.
While it may sound like something out of a fantasy romance novel,
eternal love can be a very real thing. That’s why there have been so
many successful books and movies about it. Eternal love is, after all,
one of the most sought-after things on this planet.
What is eternal love?
Eternal love is basically just a love that never ends. It’s a love so
powerful that nothing in the world can stop the strong feelings that
two people have for each other. Some people even refer to it as a love
so strong that it’s still there even after death.
Can eternal love really exist?
There are many skeptics on this topic. In fact, there are many
skeptics on the topic of whether or not love is real in the first place.
Obviously those people have never felt this emotion for someone else,
because it is truly unmistakable when you do find it.
But while love is a real feeling and emotion, can you truly love
someone forever? Or does our biological makeup and instinct to survive
and procreate get in the way sometimes? Which is stronger? Love or our
DNA? Here are the answers to these complex questions.
All the proof you need that eternal love exists
For all of you folks out there who constantly wonder if love is a
real feeling or just a made-up trick used to justify staying with
someone for a long time in order to have a family, here’s why you’re
wrong.
#1 There’s proof everywhere. You don’t have to be a
scientist to see that love exists everywhere. Love doesn’t have to be
romantic, either. There are so many different ways you can feel and
express your love for different people in your life.
You love your family. You love your pets. You love your hobbies. You
love your significant other. These types of feelings can’t be made up
and can’t be denied.
#2 Science even says it’s real. That’s right. You can’t deny the facts of science, people. A study was conducted
on couples that were together after 20 years and on those that were
newly in love. The research found that the brain scans of each group
were identical when shown pictures of their loved ones. This just proves
that love is real and can be present even after many, many years.
#3 Love actually changes the chemical makeup of your brain. How
else can you explain having such strong feelings for someone that the
makeup of your brain is actually altered? Love, that’s how.
When shown pictures of a person you love,
your frontal lobe—the part responsible for all your decision-making
skills—actually shuts down. You actually do throw all reason and logic
out the window in the name of love!
So what about eternal love?
So we’ve established that love is a real feeling and actually does
exist. But can that feeling last forever? Can the remnants of that love
still linger long after both people have left this earth? Here’s
everything you should know about eternal love.
#1 It’s not a fairytale. As fantastic as all of
those fairytale books sound, eternal love truly can exist in real life.
Take the brain scan research mentioned above as just one prime example.
#2 It’s different from person to person. Eternal
love isn’t an automatic thing that feels the same to everyone. Just like
each person loves differently, each person also has different
capabilities of feeling and finding eternal love.
Some people are simply better than others at being open enough to
allow eternal love into their hearts. In some situations, an individual
can be so guarded that he or she often skips out on having that kind of
connection for fear of getting hurt. That, however, does not mean that
eternal love doesn’t exist for anyone.
#3 Our DNA says that we can love multiple people. Our bodies are programmed to do whatever is possible in order to ensure the continued existence of our race.
This means that in order to be able to reproduce, we have to be able
to fall in love. And since the existence of our race depends on our
ability to reproduce and make many diverse beings, we can fall in love
with multiple people throughout our lifetimes.
#4 But our willpower prevents us from doing so. Now,
the above may make it seem like eternal love can’t exist because we can
fall in love with different people at any given time. But the unique
thing about humans is that our willpower is more powerful than our
instincts and genetic code, which allows us to MAKE ourselves only love
one person and remain faithful to them – for eternity.
#5 Eternal love is somewhat of a choice. Just as I
mentioned above, it’s our willpower that differentiates our ability to
love only one person. That being said, having an eternal love is
somewhat of a choice.
While we may not be able to control or choose who we fall in love
with, we do control that we only love that person and for how long. If
we want to love someone for eternity, we have the capacity to do so.
#6 There’s century-old evidence that shows that eternal love exists. I’m sure if you’re a lover of love like myself, you’ve stumbled upon that picture of two 2,000-year-old skeletons buried holding hands.
This is not only proof that eternal love is real and can be felt for
thousands of years, but it also shows that it has been around for many,
many years and is not something new that we just so happened upon.
#7 The belief of eternal love can change between cultures. Western
societies romanticize the idea of love and expand on it as much as
possible. But there are also different cultures that downright don’t
take love into account at all.
#8 But eternal love is still found within those cultures that don’t believe in love. I’m
sure you’ve heard of arranged marriages and how some people are even
set up to marry a person from the day they were born. These different
cultures don’t believe that love exists, but rather, they’re of the
opinion that who they marry and have children with will determine their
success.
But then why do we see so many different people running away from
their families and these arranged marriages in order to be with someone
else… whom they love?
#9 Eternal love is felt, not seen. You can’t just
look at two people and see that they have a bond of eternal love. But
you definitely can be in the presence of two people and just FEEL their
eternal love for one another.
#10 Overall, YES, it exists. No matter who you are
or whether or not you have felt such a powerful love in your life just
yet, you can’t deny the definitive proof that eternal love does truly
exist in many different forms all over the world.
Eternal love seems like it could be something out of our
wildest dreams, but the truth is that it’s a very real and tangible
thing that could be within our own reach… if we want it.
