some thoughts on love

Now, I wonder, “Would it hurt less, if I didn’t give it my all?” or “Would it be best to be skeptic to avoid future disappointments?”

There are only a handful of men (and women) who are willing to commit—“who would rather choose hell, than be without the one they love.” And the worst part is, I thought I've already met one, but as the days go by, it's turning out to be a lie.

These couples were willing to commit, but at some point, decided to take separate paths. I may not know their reasons. And maybe I’ll never understand why they allowed it to happen. I just hope that “never giving up for the one you love” is not merely a movie plot.

it's because to love is the most selfish human activity. you love to live--not the other way around. i hate to contradict the bible, but i refuse to believe that such selfless love can possibly exist between two mortals. you do it for you. you love a person because it makes you happy. you give everything you have because it fills you with something else. it fulfills you, even when the love is not returned. you do it for you. it just so happens that somebody else benefits from it too. and so, if a love ceases to make you happy, then it defeats the purpose. what's the point of keeping it? letting go isn't always an option. sometimes, it's just the logical next step.
