I thought Confucius was a thinker who wrote about life and wisdom. But this poem is enchanting!

Confucius wrote this. I keep coming back to that fact. I always thought of him as a writer of pithy tart remarks!

Love is not a rational thing. We do not sit down and reason with ourselves about who we should love. We know this for a fact because what person with a functioning mind would choose to go through this pain, this heart-ache, this sleepless torture called yearning, for another person to love them back. But we do and this inspires these lovely.poems and songs and plays and novels.throughout the ages since Adam and Eve.
