hmm. i shall come up with a self composed topic to talk about today.
"Love brings short term happiness, but results in long term despair. Discuss."
Love, as defined in the dictionary, is "A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness.", and short term happiness means that happy times < sad times, and that it would end in nought. Everyone has their own definition of love, be it simple, or complicated. But ultimately it still boils down to the attraction towards another person, the feeling which makes you want to hold the person forever and never let go. Its true that love brings happiness. Everyone wants to be loved. But love isnt permanent. It is, in actual fact, some fairy tale facade which makes you believe that it will last forever and ever. And when it ends, both parties just feel a sense of emptyness deep inside, its like an apple without a core, a human without a soul, and they just fall into the abyss of self denial. How ironic it is, the human affection, which at one moment can make us feel on top of the world, and at the next moment, send us plummeting down to nothingness. But then again, you might say, "well i've seen some couples who have lasted since time memorial." well, then let me ask you, how many couples do you know of which lasted that long, in this current society that is. Everyone's just going around having this really cliche mindset. "I like you, you like me. So let's be together!" that might be true. I think everyone deserves a chance, even if it might not work out in the end. There's a saying, "its better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all." But you see, its not just as simple as saying "I love you." Its a lifetime committment. Take adopting a pet for example, when you first see it, I daresay you were thinking "I'll take care of it and love it forever." A few months pass, and that same pet is abandoned on the streets. Why? Its the human paradigm shift which changed our mindsets. In our current society now, committments are secondary to instants. Precisely the point why people break up soon after a while. They are blinded, so very much, to the extent that they'd do anything for their partners. Such as, "Hey, let's have sex." "Okay sure, your house or mine?" Obviously, this is how unwanted pregnancies occur, and they have to break up due to their parents' objection. Its like a drug, in which you are willing to overlook its side effects just to enjoy a moment of pleasure, and the fact that it is addictive, makes you hunger for it more. If you'd ask me, "would you have loved, or not?" I guess i can tell you that my answer is "No." Sure it makes you feel good, but love is one of the most complex feelings ever known to Man. True, we might be animals, but we're not guided by instincts, but by our brains. Love overrides the brain, and impacts the ability to think rationally, which is why so many people break up after they realise that "their partner isnt who they thought him to be." People always tell themselves they've found the PERFECT guy, which is so untrue, because after all, we're all flawed in one way or another. And then there are other people who say this "I dont love anyone, I only love God." To that, all i can say is, Bullshit. Quit deceiving yourself and be more practical. You might say "God loves me too. Cos he told me so." Well, okay let me give you 2 choices. Would you rather, 1) Worship YOUR God for eternity, read His sayings, pray to him like as if u're talking to a wall, and never open your heart to the beauty of this world, OR 2) Find someone who attracts you and complements your true being, someone of substance, not astral, whom you can share your happiness or sadness with. Someone who greets you in the morning with a hug or a kiss, and someone who'll eventually be the father/mother of your child. (they aren't called Bundles of Joy for nothin.)
True, Love might have a definition in the dictionary. But to me, Love cannot be defined. Its just there, whether we like it or not. True, it might bring sadness and despair, but, bask in the knowledge that even if your relationship fails, it doesnt imply that it'll be raining forever.
Have faith. Because there'll always be sunshine and a magnificent rainbow after the storm. :)
lol. it's 802 words. keke
