forum Why is love always fire?

Fiery passion burning love warming up the cold heart and all that. And the apathetic one is always the icy one. I'm not angry about it I'm just wondering why?

Probably because warmth is generally regarded with happiness. ie. warm smile and when people are close together they generate warmth. Cold is the opposite, regarded as well, cold.

idk I read a poem one time (I think it might have been rather famous, but I don’t remember what it was called) where the poet said love was like ice, stabbing him in the heart because it couldn’t work out with the lady he loved

@Paperok makes sense I suppose.
@"moonlight-warrior-i doeth what i wanteth cool, don't see how that relates tbh

Sorry I though we were talking about love metaphors I’ll just go

I always imagined love, eros, as fire, and then it would cool into strong stone or metal agape that can't be broken,

I mean idk if this is how other people experience it, but I've fallen in love a few times and to me it feels like fire and electricity coursing through my blood every time I'm near the person I'm in love with, but it's not painful. It's like being engulfed in flames that don't burn, if that makes any sense (it burns when you get your heart broken though)

Ladies and gentlemen and others…

If I msy…

As far as I'm concerned, love is not literal or metaphysical warmth or coldness. Love is adamantine willpower and tender affection combined into a towering inferno of emotion and motivation, spurring oneself on. To day it is warm, in my eyes anyway, is inaccurate, because warmth can grow to unbearable heat, or simmer down into lonely cold. What is both unbreakable yet ever so tender, by it's nature cannot be changed. And if love is subject to a metaphor or piece of figurative language, then it should not, to me, be something as fleeting as warmth. Maybe I just think differently… Even then, I'm thinking of love in it's purest, most refined form… Lesser forms of love, well… That's a whole different rambliny…

I dunno. Like I said, I don't relate to most.

I hope you get what I'm saying… If you don't, well, kept bad…
