hMm.. love... and its relationship with creativity..

love is simple yet bizarrely complex.

it has its limitations. you cant really do much in love, can you? you can only hug or cuddle or hold hands or kiss. or petting. but that's practically about it. sure you can rescue your loved one who is standing in the path of an oncoming car (how often does this happen) or you could make some personal sacrifices to please or to be with your loved one. but these are things done more for love than things done in love.

but is love all that bad? obviously not! why do people put so much effort and time into seeking love then? but one thing is for sure. love promotes creativity.
look at the different methods of expressing one's love. excluding body language, one has limited choices. you can do it verbally (who wouldn't wanna hear the three magical words) literally (sms or a poem or a note or a letter or a card) or physically through gifts and such. but that's about it. yet what makes each exclamation or proclamation of love so different and unique from the other is its creativity. i love you. i <3 you. the different? its creativity.

so, would i be right if i said love is creative? perhaps. after all, love would have to have creativity in itself so as to stimulate the creativity in the person to be creative in the expressions of love. creative in the things done in love. and creative in expressing one's love. no doubt we've all been hugged numerous times but each one is special and different from the other. what's the difference between a kiss and a kiss? the kiss.

therefore. love does have a unique relationship with creativity.
