Getting over "love"?

We don't really get over love... either it's just not there to start with - "love's not time's fool....bears it out even to the edge of doom (Shakespeare, Sonnet CXVIII)"

OR

It is there in your life for education:"God is love, and those who live in God lives in love".

We are merely imitating that love that is there in our heart always prodding on to be able to possess what is infinite, eternal and self-fulfilling. But such love cannot be found at the moment. Whether it can be found in eternity in the arms of God WHO IS LOVE is the subject matter of theology.

Suffice it to say that (from our point of view) compared to the infinite, Love is an illusion. Compared to nothingness, it is the most wonderful thing that we have in this world. And when one feels the stigma of being in love, s/he only needs to look beyond the moment of the horizon, and believe that love is just for education of the soul. When love is unfulfilled and unrequited on earth, then it flows back to the person, and makes him/her more noble and capable of loving some more (G. Atento, "On Love and Loving (1995))"
