It is often said that love can be defined as the unconditional commitment of one's feelings towards another.
The world would have been a better place to live in if love came without conditions.
I mean think about it, there will be no heartbreaks.
Most of our mental asylums will be free of those who broke down because of love.
The feeling of love is so great that it is beyond our imagination.
But this feeling is also a double edged sword.
That is why there is a thin line between love and hate.
The beautiful feeling of love has now been tainted with money, jealousy and hatred.
They say money makes the world go round and it now has a bearing on love.
This evil side of love exposed Samson's weakness to Delilah who sold Samson's love for money.
You never know when love will betray you.
It comes like the devil.
To steal your heart, destroy your relationship and probably kill you.
That's what love can do.
The evil side of love can be so cruel? How prepared are you if it comes knocking on your door? Love is like a virus and like all viruses need a host to operate.
Love needs to dwell in you in order for something good or bad to happen.
The outcome is unpredictable and the worst can strike at any moment.
For those who never experienced this stage, I say to you "you got lucky".
One dangerous mistake people can make is when they confuse love with obsession.
That is when one gets to the point of almost putting one's life on the line and willing to do almost anything without thinking.
What used to be love has now turned into obsession.
Obsession breeds jealousy which in turn breeds hatred.
The metamorphosis of love can be so devastating if a solution is not found.
The absolute truth is that people have to start loving more with their minds rather than their hearts entirely.
When the unexpected happens, you can withdraw without much difficulty.
So the next time the evil side of love rears its ugly head, you know what to do.
