Does crazy love exist? Focus on the passion of love
Reading time 2 minute(s)
If you take a moment to look at some of the most famous love stories such as Romeo and Juliet or Jack Dawson and Rose Dewitt Bukater (the heroes of the movie Titanic), you will soon realize that crazy love is much more often a love of irresistible passion. Of course, reason is often opposed to the feeling of love, but crazy love is so powerful that it can sometimes destroy us, even lead us to our own loss. However, to be seized by this feeling so strong, so unreasonable and so irresistible is not it finally what we all dream one day to feel?
What is crazy love?
Crazy love is distinguished from classic love by the intensity of the feelings felt by the two partners concerned. Because yes, even if the thing can seem obvious, to be qualified as crazy (or passionate) love must be shared. Thus, when both partners claim this depth of feeling for each other, they automatically engage in a sultry relationship that cuts them off from the outside world.
After all love is like the fuel of our life, it gives meaning to everything, hangs an unwavering smile on your lips, makes your legs mole, makes your heart beat much faster … And these are not just expressions! These are physiologically recognized facts… In fact, it’s simple: we talk about crazy love as soon as it modifies your behavior, changes your habits so much that those around you no longer recognize you.
To love like crazy…
Everyone will tell you the same thing about crazy love: it falls on you without warning! It often takes its most well-known and obvious form: love at first sight. However, it can also very well knock at the door of two long-time friends who discover their mutual feelings after many years of common journey. But let’s think about it for a moment: love and madness are two closely related states of mind. After all, don’t we say crazy in love or I’m still crazy about her or him?
… To have only you as horizon!
This is all well and good, but it happens that sometimes, such a powerful love can lead to breaking the rules dictated by our society, like crimes of passion which are by far the most extreme form of love drift. The excessive love towards someone always ends up in a forgetting of oneself. And in doing so, little by little, this imbalance will generally create a resentment towards the loved one that one will then find oneself hating… For its well-being, the couple must above all learn to grow and to consolidate, notably by setting up common projects, without losing itself in a passion that is as fusional as it is destructive.
