Love and Crushes are two entirely different concepts... Love is a weird phenomenon and people put up all possible phrases and adjectives around it... Love is eternal... Love is blind... Love is life... And the list goes on... The only love I'm aware of is the moment when I see myself in the mirror in the morning just before I start the day... "Happy Realization" as one could call it!
Cinematic love is good to watch but in real life we do what our brains say rather what our heart speaks! Don't we? On the other hand, crushes are quite acceptable I guess... You can acceptably have crush over somebody JUST like that as soon as your hormones do some magic within you in a matter of a few seconds. The person may be a Movie star....guy next door! Hormones honestly don't care...
Quite opposite to this, love can be a stress all together. And the best (worst?!) part, it is assumed that the other person need not acknowledge the love... One way traffic is the most accident prone when it comes to love. LOL In the best case, things are still bad because getting along for a prolonged period of time is a big question mark and takes loads of commitment. Not to mention the ego clashes, wavelength mismatch and tuning to the right spectrum. One important factor that decides the risk here is age. Teenagers are rash lovers and mostly end up in an accident while maturity lets people choose better persons but still without the guarantee of finding the right one.
We try to get into details of Love and get poetic about it. But reality is hardly so. When we actually look in to practicality,everything is considered - caste, creed , class and oh yeah MONEY!! The last one has become the most important factor since it decides the graph of your life :) The most fashioned love these days is falling for your office colleague as it is a safe bet. Gone are the days when we believed in love at first sight and instant love affairs.
All said and done.....Love is interpersonal with feelings and emotions that may or may not be reciprocated. But "what kind of feelings and emotions constitute love; and even better what is love?" seems to be a frequent debate vis-a-vis Crush that is clearly defined and documented :D
