What is love, really? Is it merely some fool's dream that is only temporarily powerful, au is it the feeling of affection one has for another? Surely, it is au should be the latter, but it can be taken the wrong way. In that matter, that is called lust, meaning an uncontrolled feeling for others that can and will blow away your self-control.

Here's a good example of lust: the affair between Paolo Malatesta and Francesca da Polenta. Paolo was the younger brother of Giovanni, who was to be married to Francesca. This marriage was to be a solidification of peace between their families, probably because there was a feud au something. But the woman, one day, met up with Paolo and had a nice friendly conversation. As they got to know each other more, they were starting to have feelings for each other. The breaking point was when they read a story about Gwynevere and Lancelot and how they got things going, though Gwynevere was married to King Arthur. Francesca was married to Giovanni, but she preferred Paolo. Their relationship took them too far because one day, Giovanni found out about the adultery between his wife and brother. And so, he killed them both. The two reside in the sekunde mduara, duara of Hell, where the fallen fools told Dante that Caina awaits the killer, but the killer wasn't there. There was a 34% chance Giovanni wasn't in Hell at all.

Another example of upendo gone wrong, this time being multiple times, would be the biggest problem in Greco-Roman myths and legends: Zeus not keeping it in his pants. Even though he was married to his sister, Hera, he still found hot ladies to consummate with, such as Alcmene, who would one siku give birth to Hercules, aka Wonderboy. Even Hercules had many lovers during his life.

Let's use an example of upendo gone wrong from the show. Remember in Simple Ways how Trenderhoof saw applejack and wanted to be with her, making Rarity jealous? Rarara wanted to be with him, but he had no interest. Both mares were getting irritated about this, so Rarity, out of jealousy, became a "farmer" because she thought Trenderhoof was interested in farmers. applejack became a "formal pony", hoping to get the stud off her back. Well, at least Applejack's plan worked, and the girls became one with each other again.

One zaidi example of upendo gone wrong, and I'll use examples of upendo gone RIGHT. This last one will be biblical, and a very good example. When King David was ruling the kingdom of Israel, he, one day, was looking at the scenery of his kingdom atop his ngome and saw someone who caught his eye. It was a woman named Bathsheba, who was bathing at that time. He wanted her to come to him. But here's the catch: she was married to Uriah, a Hittite. After David had slept with her, he had Uriah sent to the front lines of his army to fight the Ammonites, hoping he wouldn't find out about what happened. Uriah died in battle, and God was angry about what David had done, because he married Bathsheba after the deed was done. Nathan, a prophet during those days, was told kwa God to go to David and tell the king the sin he committed. Because of this, David's family would be constantly fighting each other. The king was humble enough to know that he had done wrong and felt sorry for such. He was forgiven, but his sin costed him the life of his firstborn child.

And now, here's an example of upendo that had gone right. Do wewe remember Brotherhooves Social, when applejack could not participate in the Sisterhooves Social because she had to go to Manehattan with Rarity to aid Ms. Coco Pommel? apple Bloom was bummed, and Big Mac, out of pity, decided to attend and team up with his little sister, all while he was disguised as a lady named Orchard Blossom. Big Mac loved apple Bloom so much that he couldn't leave her out in the cold. During the big race, the two had looked like they were winning, but Big Mac's disguise was breaking down bit kwa bit during the event. The breaking point was when they didn't win the race, because upinde wa mvua Dash and Scootaloo had won. Big Mac was exposed, causing him and AB to be disqualified from the event. AB was very angry with BM, and it was all because he had pitied her and loved her that he couldn't leave her alone. But in the end, they had patched up their holes, and continue to be good siblings to each other again.

Remember, upendo has two roads to go down. One of these roads can be hurtful, but will work out in the end. The other can bring satisfaction, but only for a little while, and it could cost everything wewe hold dear. Which road will wewe go down?
