问世间情为何物?

I hope my Chinese is correct, but I find that the world we are living in has a really really bizarre, and sometimes disturbing, way of understanding love nowadays. Let me cite a few examples:

• I read the papers about how a 13 year old UK boy is now a father after having sex with a 15 year old girl and how he was proud to be a father and is not shy to say he loves the girl very much. And the papers also cited other cases where similarly 13 year olds got married and are happily together still.
  
• As I was running at Bedok Reservoir Park one night, at almost every corner of the park I see couples hugging and *ahem* one another.
• Also from the papers on how a 55 year old guy married a 20 year old girl and they are happily together for 4 years now. And another 40 plus guy married a 100 year old lady.
• As I see young secondary school students in their uniform hugging and touching one another openly in the public.
  
• And again from the papers on how a 32 year old married teacher with kids got into an affair and had sex with a 15 year old boy.
  

Is true love really that mystical, blind and mesmerizing? Or is it the plain lust and sin that is within each of us that desires to enjoy the pleasure relationship brings with? I guess it is not up to me to judge those people but something I learnt from my Bible study on Philippians with M.Chan & some guys yesterday shed some light into guiding me to learn to be mature in my love to people.

Mature love involves good discrimination, issues in true pursuit of what truly matters, focuses on the final judgment in Christ and results from the true righteous in Christ.

It's quite a mouthful, but what a radical way to look at love compared to what I read on the papers and see nowadays! And of cause this can only apply to people who believes in God and His Word. I guess that is also probably why people's definition of love is so bizarre nowadays. No where in Scripture is love describe purely as a feeling or something mystical. Love comes with an intellectual understanding. I suppose it's going to take eternity for me to be able to fully mature my love, but I am praying that God will help me to remember this and use this to guide me in my relating with people. Better don't ask the world what love is. Ask the Maker and you will receive the best answer you can ever get.
