What is love?
I got inspired by this blog from reading a friends blog, she wrote a poem about what love was and so I went from there…This was written by me a few years ago….I think love is a myth. If no one can exactly agree on what love is (that includes emotions) then it isn’t real. Right? If someone believes in love, shouldn’t they believe in the easter bunny as well? Love and lust are easily confused, you know its lust when a certain person doesn’t do it for you anymore like they used to when you thought it was love. Are we just falling out of love or was it really just lust all along? So when people marry are they just settling? If we don’t marry society views us different and puts us into certain categories, like there is something wrong with us if we are 40 and still unmarried. What if someone doesn’t believe in love and never wants kids-marriage would never be an option. Maybe marriage is a partnership, someone to share the housework with, when you grow old someone to help take care of you. After spending lots of intimate time with someone a dependency is created that gives you the feeling that you can’t go a week without seeing them. They complete you, a really good friend you can settle down with. When I wrote this I was going through the anti marriage stage and kids. I had a long discussion with my friend Matt about what love is and how can we define it. We both agree that love is a myth. Society puts labels on things, if you are religious and you want kids you basically have to get married unless you don’t want to be casted out of the group. I would love for peoples opinions on this. :D
