Love does not make sense. Love is not technical. Love is not black and white.

When it comes to matters of the heart, you cannot apply human standards of fairness and mathematical principles of logic.

When a person Loves, a person Loves. It does not have to make sense. It only has to exist and to be boundless.

I was watching an episode of the American sitcom Friends, the other night. Ross and Rachael, a couple in the show who had a long and faithful relationship, broke up.

Ross, was so distraught that he went to a bar, got drunk, and ended up sleeping with another woman. Later, the two reconciled and were ready to give their relationship a second chance. But when Rachael heard what he had done, she refused to accept him back.

Throughout the show, Ross' argument was that their relationship was technically on a break. That they were no longer a couple when he slept with the other woman, he argued that it he did nothing wrong.

Rachael did not see it this way. Even though Ross was technically right, she could not bring her heart to agree with that. She could not force her heart to see the situation in a logical manner. Even their friends agreed with Ross' logic, though they supported her as well.

My opinion? I agree with Rachael.

The heart does not work in a logical manner. When was the last time you fell in love with somebody who you "logically" should love? When was the last time you saw a person whom would seem perfect for you, but felt utterly nothing? When was the last time you fell in love with exactly the wrong kind of person for you?

I don't know about you, but I've done that plenty of times. I guess my heart must not make much sense.

A friend once tried explaining to me why it was okay for another friend of mine to start going out with my ex-girlfriend. We had broken up, so technically it was fine. And sure, the logic in my brain agreed with him.

But for the life of me, I couldn't convince my heart of that. Why? Well, like I said, I guess my heart must not make much sense.

Do you think love is logical?
