'Love is blind'

Here, catch this casket; it is worth the pains.
I am glad 'tis night, you do not look on me,
For I am much ashamed of my exchange:
But love is blind and lovers cannot see
The pretty follies that themselves commit;
For if they could, Cupid himself would blush
To see me thus transformed to a boy.

I agree.
Proven by all of my dumb classmates.

Blind, or alters the importance of factors good and poor?

Maybe we only love something we like to see?
Maybe love isn't blind at all.
Maybe we Simply choose to love only people that have nothing we couldn't stand to see.

We hold these truths to be selve evident, but evidence is not ownership. Those words are not a decree that we have life, liberty, happiness. Only an iron clad statement that it is ours if we are willing to do all that is necessary to take it.

You must first define what "love" means.

That said, we are all blind to some extent.

I agree to a great extent. It's what makes you happy that matters the most, not what and how others see and say about it.

Life is a lesson. Learn from it.

and ancient Turkish poet said:
"Ettik o denli ref'-i taayyün ki Neşati,
Ayine-i pür-tab-ı mücellada nihanız..."
(Neşati)

En.:
"We are so clearly visible,Neşati,
Even we can't recognize ourselves when we look at the mirror..."

If something is too clearly visible,people can not recognize it.and love teaches us to see unvisible sides of the world.love is not blind.love shows us the true sight.
