Article Review of Love: By Ralph Waldo Emerson

          I chose this article because love is something that always people talk about. We have our own perception about what is love and how we understand love its-self. And as we know everyone always be happy and feel so great when they are falling in love ;’).

    This article is very interesting because Emerson gives a detailed description of the feeling LOVE, love is a feeling that happens just like a spark, it could happen to anybody at anyplace with anyone. The concept that love is between the youth is not right. Love takes place when one is young, but grows gradually when one grows old.   The passion of love could be explained at any age, be it twenty, forty or eighty, it does not matter and he who has drawn the wonderful picture of his love, may have missed something when it has grown old, but with patience it could be found out and made it more beautiful.  Love is a wonderful feel that is being felt and experienced. All living beings experience love as God’s Mercy.

           Actually, i think that Emerson tries to explain about the essential of love, and I supposed that he wants to tell us that love is not only a matter of desire or lust for sex, attracted to the opposite gender or even just to seek attention, but love is an attempt to improve the lives of virtue and wisdom. and Pure love is when the soul merges with God as a form of perfection. Emerson says that, through this feel of Love, many have crossed borders, some may have done mistakes, some may have sacrificed and many more.

       And i try to give my stand point of this article, That Love is something absurd, we often misunderstanding about what is true love and this article gives us a new understanding of what love is, how love can grow and be felt by all living being, not only humans but also animals, plants feel the same way, although in different ways.
