"You cannot love someone you do not know." or can you?


Out of nowhere, I remembered answering a question of a friend. I think it was for her philosophy class. I searched the message in FB. It was dated March 10, 2011. Here it is (copy-paste):

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
critique paper: "you cannot love someone you do not know"

ma love man japun nmo ang someone you do not [fully] know.. haha XD di baya jud nato ma fully know tanan.. maski ato parents, super kaila ba diay ta nla? like, kung unsa sila sauna adtong ka age pa sila nato, unless chika au mo.. haha XD pero still, love man nato sila..  and.. kung sa boy-girl relationship pud.. ah.. dba murag after mo ma in a relationship, naa pa man mo daghan things ma discover about each other..? maski ang mga bad sides nla.. pero ma learn nato og accept maski ang nega traits nla since love man nato ang kato na preson.. aw.. hahaha XD something like that..


Rough translation:

You can still love someone you do not [fully] know. We can never fully get to know everyone. Even our parents, do we really know them? Like, what kind of people they were when they were our age? Unless, we are open to each other. But still, we love them. And, in a boy-girl relationship, right after we are "in" a relationship, we still have a lot of things yet to discover about each other, right? Even their bad sides, we learn to accept all those negative traits since we love the person. Something like that.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To make my point clearer, we can love someone we do not know. It's part of human nature. We were made out of love, we are made to love. It's the love we have for people that makes us accept for what, who, why, how they are. We are no psychics. It's just love playing its role. :)
