Dead Star (Reflection)

 

        What I learned in this story is that infatuation is far different from love. And before entering a relationship or committing to love, we have to make sure that we really understand our own feelings and emotions.

 

        What Alfredo felt for Julia was just infatuation. The love he considers when he is with Julia is not what he thinks of. He thought he was truly in love with the lady, but when they see each other again after how many years, after he ends up marrying Esperanza, he realizes that the feelings he had for Julia are gone. And it is not really love that he feels for Julia; it is just an infatuation. In our lives, we also tend to think, at some point, that what we are feeling for someone is already love, yet the truth is, it is just infatuation. that it fades away and does not remain. different from what love is. Because love endures even when two people do not communicate for an extended period of time.

 

        Before entering into a serious relationship with someone, we need to make sure that we really understand what we are feeling for them. Just when Alfredo found himself in a state of confusion due to his own emotions. He doesn't try to understand his true feelings towards Julia, which ended up making him unfaithful because he didn't mind what Esperanza might feel. Sometimes, we can't determine what we really want for that person who comes into our lives, if we are really into them, or if it is just a conflict with our feelings and emotions. Understanding our own feelings and emotions can prevent us from hurting someone, and we must know how to do it.
