Love is Irrational

October 25, 2025

Love is Irrational
Humans say that love is complex;
It leaves your mind perplexed.
Nowadays, augmented arguments and egos are its prime features.
Humans are indeed strange creatures,
Having no capacity to understand its true essence.

Open your vision, look around;
You will realise that love is beautiful and unbound.
Nature defines love in an appropriate way,
No demands, expectations, or anything to weigh.

Animals/birds hunt and provide food to their families
Cuddle, save them from danger, selflessly
No motives or expectations in return for their old age.
Human beings, on the other hand, define love as being in a cage,
With the precondition of receiving something in return.
Is solely a human concern.

Love is observing nature, finding solace merely by a glance,
Love is like a rivulet of water flowing aimlessly in a trance.
It is like a tree providing shelter, expecting nothing in return.
Love is an irrational affair that cannot be measured and adjourned
Human beings are rational creatures
Who, indeed, cannot understand love’s magical and divine features.
