Ask me to describe life, and I'd plagiarise whoever that was who first said that life could be described in three words, "It goes on."

But ask me to describe love, and I can't use three words. Not even Robert Frost, whom I like to plagiarise.

I can only plagiarise whoever wrote the Bible this time round. Even though my religion is football, there's are still sections of the Bible I don't mind believing in, such as Corinthians 13:4-8.

Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take in account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.

But truth be told, I can't say I understand all of that.

But what I know is that love can be many things, and who are we to define love?

Are those incessant naggings from our parents not unconditional love?

Is not a baby's smile when you are pampering them not the most innocent of love?

Is Junzhang's tenderness for the bear he made for Carena not ~~henpecked~~ love?

Love can be anything you want it to be, love is a choice, and yet not a choice at the same time. Something so complex and beautiful should not be pondered so much upon, and instead love should just be experienced with a free and open mind.

Love is not something that can ever be compared.

To quote Woody Allen:

"To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down."
