LOVE

After many many conversations on this topic. Today i heard something different. Most people would say , yes they believe in love, but that its a complicated and most sought after part of the human experience. Today someone told me they dont believe in love , as in couple love. The love of a mother or that for a child is there but love for a significant other, wife, husband, girlfriend, boyfriend, partner, spouse, doesnt exist. This baffles me, how can one spend their entire life without the love of someone close. Is the love a parent gives their child enough to sustain them their whole life? The love of a good friend? I struggle with this. it also makes me sad :(. I mean have we become so robotic in our society that we cant or wont allow the love of a partner, to share ourselves, our hearts, our life with????


In a society that right now, cannot hold a marriage together, maybe this is our reality. Is this the reason why we cheat? Are we capable of unconditional , long term, compassionate love for a life partner? From the eyes of a divorced woman, i still believe in love. I do believe we r capable of loving someone, sharing ourselves. But where to find someone that shares the same feeling on this topic as u do?


In this generation of internet and high speed dating and sexing, I guess its easy to get a quick fix or dose of "love" and this way , we dont have to interact with each other on a deeper level:(. So having sex with people we dont love or really know on some deep level is the new trend of today.


I understand the need for physical interaction, but why do we demand so little of someone that is in essence touching us so intimately?


As an adult, a single adult, I can make that decision for myself, but as a parent, i worry about the repercusions of our behaviour in the long run. How can we function without love? how will they learn about love, commitment, compassion and empathy? we have the power to change. can we live in a loveless world?
