Love. is It Real or Not? You Decide

    Some of us may think that we need love to survive. But how can we survive off of something that may not even exist?

     We see in the movies or read in books that love can break any spell or any curse. We see that it can set anyone free, or bring eternal happiness. WRONG.

    To the average human being, we all feel the need to have love. We feel empty inside without it. Love is abstract however, it has no shape or form, so how can we possibly grab hold of something so freely spirited? To some, love is a fairy tale. Meeting the perfect man or woman, having an ideal relationship while being 100% faithful, a flawless marriage, having children and growing old together. That person is supposed to be your soul-mate. So how come we all know that love is nothing like this? Love can be so catastrophic and even ending in death, take Romeo and Juliet for example. Children’s movies and books strive to paint a perfect picture of what love is to children. Hearing and reading these books or seeing these movies as little kids, it is set in our minds that this is what we want when we get older, and our lives wouldn’t be perfect without it. But as we get older we grow out of this idea, and we begin to notice our surroundings even more. Our minds develop and we become more intelligent, and learn to make better observations. People grow out of that want to fall in love and they just want to remain happy even when they’re single. They learn that they need to find happiness within themselves, before they can find it in any man or woman. Not all of them, but the majority of women (not to seem or sound sexist or anything, I am a young lady myself), however seem to be more gullible when it comes down to love. There is nothing more that a woman would want than a man who loves them for who really they are (just what they show us in the movies and books when we’re little). Women fall in love too quick, and most time they fall in love with lies, that is why there are so many failed relationships in America today. Speaking of failed relationships, divorce rate has gone up tremendously. Now isn’t “love” supposed to last forever? Aren’t you supposed to love that person for the rest of your life and be with them until you die? Whatever happened to that. Open your eyes people. Love can be real or fake to those who choose to live in their imaginations or reality. When we have a failed relationship and we thought we loved the person with all our hearts, we feel emptiness inside. Those who choose to live in their imaginations will often feel this type of way, because most of the time what we imagine, reality will most likely not live up to. Those who live in reality will be wise and not even waste their time on this thing called “love”.
