love is not the only uncertainty.
The relative perception of reality of every individual and the constant logical fallacies of the greatest philosophers question your certainty limitation. Yes, death follows life, cause and effect in this realm. Is that not the true certainty? Causality?

Of the three msyteries [Life, Death, Love] a human being is able to experience, Love is the only one that has no certainty. It may happen, it may not. There is no way that one can make it occur. You can not make someone fall in love with you, you can not make yourself fall in love with another. It is not a consequence of some cause. It is illogical. It is not a function of left brain activity. It is possible to go through one's entire life and never experience it.

Something can be done to make certain that it never happens. There are many many people that are afraid of love. Afraid because one must become vulnerable, all defenses, all shields have to be dissolved. Afraid because then it means a certain death, death of the ego. Such people engage themselves with other things, obsessions - money, power, fame, fortune, collecting things, collecting knowledge. A continuously active left brain, a continously moving intellect, will prevent Love from ever occurring.

People proclaim to love ice cream, their houses, their cars, their pets. It is easy to have relationship with an object because there is no 'trouble' that can be created by such things. Affection is a one way street affair. One is safe by being attached to an object. And that what it is really. It is not really love, it is attachment. Even a husband, wife and the children can become objects of so-called 'love'. When in a truer sense it is really being attached to others. 

Love cannot have an address. This phrase "I love you", has no existential reality. One cannot choose to love one person and not some other person. It cannot be sent to a certain somebody and not sent to somebody else. People are fooling themselves if they think that love can be addressed in such a way. Then why are such things said?

Such things are said as a way of conducting business. One is really trying to make a business agreement out of it. I say, "I love you", so you will say "I love you, too" in return. To hear the words means nothing. In fact, to say the words 'I love you' degrades an alive love. The words make it less than what it is. The words are said only because love is no more there. It has died. It is not there because the habit of thinking has returned with the intellect, ego. The words are a very poor substitute for an authentic flowing love. Either love is flowing out from an individual or it is blocked, prevented in some way. The way it is prevented is by a constantly moving thought process involving the intellect.
