I have been following the www.WebMd.comDaily, for a while, and recently found a ‘Special Report’ dated March 7, 20171. In line with its Science of LOVE, a quiz with 15/15 questions for people to take, on “Can You Be Addicted To Love?”1
Any form of addiction is an enslavement that individual helplessly and hopelessly hooked on to something. And it’s nearly impossible, for whoever is trying to rid it off with one’s own power. People would think of addiction to drugs, pornography, gambling. But addicted to love?
In fact, we all have addictive personalities in us, but only to a different extent. We need to love and be loved. Therefore, it’s possible to be ‘Addicted to Love.’ Take for example, why women were entrapped in pain-fill romances, voluntarily?
In the absence of compatibility, commonly shared value system and even with family fuels, why women knowingly nothing good going on with them on long term basis, yet get stuck with the wrong guys? Why do women lead self-sabotage lives, resort to substances, bed hopping, and worse, even loss of their wills to live after broken romances?
Why are women guilt-ridden, scarred with wounded spirits, for life after divorces and so on? For women mentoring other women, they may be your siblings, BFFs or strangers. We may feel for their emotional afflictions but we can only lend them our sympathetic ears.
I took the 15/15 quizzes, with poor scores, therefore, I know not if I am susceptible to be or not to be addicted to love scientifically? It is a saving grace if the scientific approach can show the initial sign as warning for women before the negative love entanglements take in.
However, what to do while people are waiting for the scientific breaking-through? So we relate to our Daddy God as the Creator of our perfect emotional makeups. Unfortunately, we were separated from our oneness with HIM immediately after Adam sinned against HIM, in the perfect Garden. As result, it may not be too far fetch to conclude that it has always had a spiritual root cause to all of our negative emotions.
First of all, I would expand on few landmark cases of public figures, in recent years that fit the profile of ‘addicted to love.’ It will include two late talented female pop artists, and a famous nameless woman met by Jesus at the well that occurs in the Bible. And also on some classic cases of women who are ‘addicted to love,’ as how this writing evolves.
Whitney Houston, for example, who was well known as the gospel-based singer when she was young, then into a pop music, soul, and films. Once she said, ” I think I knew then that (my singing ability) was an infectious thing that God had given me.”
Yet with all of her brilliance, she had a rocky marriage. She was one time almost loss her voice completely due to her problems with prescription drugs and health. Weeks after her passing, speculations on what the diva died of was all over the News.
Amy Winehouse, a gifted singer/song writer who died at 27. Like many, I knew not of her and her music songs before she died in 2011. The lyrics she wrote for her ‘Back to Black’ after her on/off husband left her for his ex-girl friend, confessed to her addictive character.
Many of her albums are still charted on Billboard ever since her passing. And 7years ago, her ‘Back to Black had over 200 millions views, and it had over 1 million views, as recent 6 months ago, on YouTube. Does the song with lyrics cry for hundred millions of viewers? (3)
Now let us look at the nameless Samaritan woman met by Jesus at the well that occurs in the Bible. The woman is an ethnic out cast due to the long rift between the Jews and Samaritans, and she is also a social out cast as she had been divorced 5-time.
To avoid being seen by people, she went to the well to draw water at noon. And Jesus made a detour to meet her, at the well. Jesus knew all about her, but didn’t reproof her state of life. Jesus also revealed Himself to her. (4)
In respond to the Super-nature manifestation, the Samaritan woman acted Nature to accept Jesus as the LORD of her life wholeheartedly; she eagerly asked for the living water to quench her thirsty soul, immediately she went to spread the good news to her people.
