Can Love Make You Happy?

If I was to ask now, to everyone...
Have you ever been in love?
I'm pretty sure that 90% of you would answer positively.
Now if I ask you, are you living with your true love?
I bet this number would decrease drastically.
I don't know if you ever wondered why so many people have known true love, or so they wish; but only few actually share their life with that special person.
I have a few suggestions to that.
First, we too often confuse physical attraction with love. I'll explain. I am a man, walking down the street and I see a beautiful looking woman... My heart goes to the next gear and my mind starts creating all kind of images of her, holding my hands, laughing with me, hugging me, kissing me, and ultimately ending up (in bed) with me...
My heart is sure, so is my mind, that I am in love. All I have to do now is convinced her that my visions are prophetical and we are meant to be together (in Bed, eventually).
Did I love the person for who she is? No. I don't even know her name at that very moment.
Did she love me at first sight? No. She just saw a strange guy staring at her with his mouth wide open.
So, this was not love. We actually just met, I had my hormones working and then I would eventually start stalking her until she gives in and we end together (in bed).
Secondly, the person you love does not always love you back. Sad but true.
So, what is love?
Well, I think love is a state of mind, an attraction between two people beyond the physical aspect...
A person in love would of course like the person physically, but also their personality, their strengths and weaknesses, their flaws or oversized ego... (that's for me.)
Now that we know what's love, let's get back to our subject of the day...
Can love make you happy?
The truth is, nothing can make you happy but yourself...
If you wait to fall in love to be happy, I can tell you right now, it is not going to happen.
Few people meet this special someone and actually share their life with that person.
What most people do, is that we build our relationships with people who understand us, and that we understand.
We will share a living place, make it a home. we will talk through our problems and solve them as we go along.
I hope this will help you sort out your life.
Remember: "Do not let life pass you by for waiting, on anything. Make it happen or drop it".
