My friend was like "Monster. A beast in the field."


not sure what that means....but i always thought the saying 'love is blind' meant that love can 'preoccupy a persons thoughts/heart so that they are unaware of things that others see so obviously.

but upon looking up the origin of the saying i found this

From Shakespeare's The Merchant Of Venice.

JESSICA: Here, catch this casket; it is worth the pains.

I am glad 'tis night, you do not look on me,

For I am much ashamed of my exchange:

But love is blind and lovers cannot see

The pretty follies that themselves commit;

For if they could, Cupid himself would blush

To see me thus transformed to a boy.

I always thought 'love is blind' referred to the fact that you couldn't see the deficiencies in people, whether its their looks, character or personalities.

Love is blind refers to women who are so in love, they're willing to risk blindness to provide their man with a facial canvas to paint on.

That's such a wonderously artistic way of putting it...

That would be more like Lust then i think. I can't see how anybody could be in love with somebody they've just met without getting to know more about them first.

I have friends that met when she was 17. 4 days later they were making wedding plans. They celebrate their 18th anniversary this New Years Eve
