Love is a treasure not found by search. Love is found by those who look not for it. So to find love is to not search for it - how paradoxical is that? But as a fool I keep looking in the event I'm wrong. Someone disprove me. I don't mind being wwwwrrrroooong. :heart:

"Love is a treasure not found by search"

I don't think that's axiomatic. I see it more that searching for love doesn't guarantee any more likely success than not searching. But I don't think that it guarantees failure either.
To me, the trick is more in the human mind...when you're searching for love, your expectations are up and every missed opportunity or rejection is explicitly noted in your mentality. This makes you feel like you have a poor percentage of positive vs. negative experiences with love. When you're not searching for it, your brain doesn't tally missed opportunities because it isn't paying attention to (potential) love. Then when love comes along, of course your brain recognizes that, and you think you're batting a thousand! Haha.

Awww wish I could dissaprove that or say what is right but......... since I have not found it nor has it found me as of yet. But then one never knows it could be right in front of our faces and we are just not sure yet. One must meet face to face and look deep within their eyes to know for sure. bigsmile


Hummm that really did not help did it bigsmile flowerforyou

I've heard that love is blind and that it happens when you least expect it. :heart:

I'm thinking of walking around blindfolded so I can be REALLY suprised. laugh That may not be wise, but could be fun!
