    Phenomenology of Love

    Uploaded by

    Mark Anthony Bryan Arimado
    The document is a reflection on the phenomenology of love by Mark Anthony Bryan O. Arimado. It discusses how love is often equated with things like respect, feelings, and preferences, rather than what love truly is. While love can be associated with many feelings, that does not mean those things are love itself. The author believes we love unconditionally when we find someone for no other reason than we simply love them. True love is accepting someone for who they are, including their flaws and weaknesses, without trying to change them or expecting anything in return, but rather loving them with our best unconditionally.

    A REFLECTION ON THE PHENOMENOLOGY OF LOVE

    By: Mark Anthony Bryan O. Arimado

    Magical, unexplainable, weird feeling, butterflies in the stomach,


    and forever these are some descriptions that we usually think
    when we hear the word LOVE, a word with just four letters but
    actually has a lot of impressions to each of us. Some equate love
    with many things existing in our world. Some bound to explain
    love when in the first they havent got the chance to find and
    experience it. But what does this word really mean? Is there really
    such thing as falling in love and falling out of love? Now, let
    me bring you my own reflection and perspective on what, how
    and when Phenomenology of Love actually comes in.
    It is according to Max Scheler that we usually equate love to what
    it is not. We equate to respect, benevolence, fellow-feeling,
    feeling-states, preference, and rejection of values, value
    apprehension and even judgment. It is really with mans human
    nature to mistake things to what they are not and had never
    been. Love can be associate it with many things that we
    experience and feel but that doesnt mean that it is love. But in
    the first place why do we really love? Is it because its in our
    nature being human to express love or is it because we love
    because its a requisite to be called totally human? For me, we
    love not because of any reason but because when we got the
    chance to find that someone we simply love him/her
    unconditionally. Loving is just loving something or someone. We
    dont necessarily love because for example we want to make
    him/her a better person. We do not necessarily love because that
    person is ought to be like this or like that. Love doesnt really
    have this kind of distinctions. When we are in love we should not
    find what is not in him/her. We should not seek and expect higher
    values and we should not desire to change our lover but what we
    should do is be open and accepting of whatever he/she has and
    who he/she really is, therefore, love is not really blind on that
    note.
    Loving is not loving when you just love because you share same
    interest, because youve done a lot of sacrifices for your lover,

    because of your attachment to him/her, because your lover


    reminds you of a past lover and because you think alike. It also in
    also in the phenomenon so-called love that we experience such
    heart breaks and heart aches but whats really wonderful is after
    all of those dark times, we learn how to let go, move on, have fun
    again and see yourself experience love all over again.
    Love doesnt cease to exist. It may change it form but wont really
    disappear.
    Genuine love is loving a person for all he/she is, with all the
    weaknesses and flaws he/she possess, without expecting
    anything in return, loving with all the best that you can, to love
    unconditionally at the end of the day.
