The Sickness of Love

To be in love is a sickness, nothing seems to matter when you are in love, all sense seems to go out of the window when you are in love. The pain can be unbearable when that love seems to come to an end, but to be in love is also to be vulnerable, to give your heart to someone who may very well break it into a million pieces and walk away. Love is a scary thing, how do we deal with it and cope with it? What about finding text messages and e mails that your partner has sent to another person telling them things that they have told you? That has got to hurt right??? They say fear lasts longer than love so it is better to be feared than loved, is that true? Well I have interviewed many many people on the subject of love, black, white, young and old. I have found that they all seem to say the same thing, and that is that there is a very thin line between love and hate. The passion you feel when you are intensely in love can very quickly be replaced by a feeling of hate and disgust, especially if that person betrays you.

I mean how do you know if your partner is really being faithful to you? How do you know what he or she is really doing when you are not around? Well we don’t that is why we have to just take that risk and fall into the realms of love and see where it takes us and try our best to wholeheartedly love and trust the person you have chosen to be your partner. This is easier said than done, I hear you say! Well it is easier said than done but I guess we just have to try, no relationship can work with the absence of trust, but then what if that person gives you reason to not trust them? The case of the wondering eyes and the inappropriate behavior with a member of the opposite sex, is that OK? Should this cause you not to trust your partner? I say yes! Why? Because your partner should have eyes for only you and not every other person who happens to walk by. Obviously there are plenty of fish in the sea but, if you make that choice to be with someone, you should be happy with that person and that person alone! Am I wrong? Others may beg to differ but I think that if you are going to have a wondering eye then you are better off single than in a relationship. Having said this though men are different from women, they say a man can love a woman to death but still have wondering eye, well that’s why some say it might just better if everyone remained single instead of committed to one person and one person alone.
