Love Is An Act of Will

Sometimes, when we talk about love, we easily associate it with the heart. For some people, for them, heart is the most special part of the body because it enables them to feel different kinds of emotions. People think that the heart can feel the emotions they have but according to scientific researches, heart is not the organ that can feel these kinds of emotions. The word “heart,” is always used in conversations about love like; “take care of my heart,” “my heart belongs to you,” and etc, but is love really the act of the heart?

When you love a person, you always want to be with her and you will do your very best to spend quality time with her. For us students, we try to fit in to our busy schedule the time that should be spent with the people we love. We want to be with the person because we love them. We want to do things that make the people we love happy. So, therefore, I can say that love is an act of will.

Love is an act of will because love is something you want and this is our will that we do these things for love. Let us take this example of a guy courting a girl. He courts the girl he loves because he loves her. You are willing to get hurt when you love someone. You are willing to do this, do that, in the name of love. You are willing to work hard for your family because it is your will to make them happy and give them a better life. When you are loving someone, your will is to make that person happy. Like the song with the lyrics-“I will do anything for love.” The word “will” there signifies that love is an act of will. It means that we want to do these things for love, wether it is right or wrong, wether it is easy or not, what we know is that we are loving and when we love, we try to give them everything they want and need, because we are willing to give it to them. We even give them the authority to break our hearts.

One thing that we should remember when we love, we should love a person expecting nothing in return. We should not think that because we have loved them, they will also love us back. It is our will that we chose to love them, and not their will.
