Love is Unavoidable

           Love is a force of human nature. That is why I believe it is so special. We are the only living beings that have access to it. As humans, we were gifted with deep, intellectual emotions, that no other creature on the planet has the choice of having. These other creatures don't experience it because all they know is physical attraction, it’s part of their natural instinct, which they don't have any control over. However, love is far deeper than physical attraction alone. It is when a person is truly committed, or completely attached, to another person or thing. They would do anything and everything to have it in their life. For example, if that person or object were to be taken away from you, life would no longer have value. After studying the play Romeo and Juliet for the past few weeks, I noticed this was exactly how Romeo felt towards Juliet, and vice versa. When either of the two was unable to see each other they had anxiety and would threaten to commit suicide.
        In my honest opinion, all of us will love something at some point in our lifetimes even if we don't know when or where it will occur. That's what happened with Romeo and Juliet in the story. It wasn't expected, planned, or even rational. That's the beauty of love, you can't control it. Love is the strongest feeling we will ever experience and can drive even the most unassuming people to react in erratic or insane ways. It is a part of all of us, and it's the most powerful thing in the world.
