Love is many different things. It is sweet, for when the person you love loves you back. It is bitter, in such a way that it can turn you from happy to crushed in seconds. It is fragile, therefore you must be careful with it. It is vulnerable, since your heart is now open to the world. It is destructive, not only because the world is an imperfect place, it is that love can either make new meaning to your world or shut you down completely. As humans, we feel that love is the only key to happiness (except for money, a commonly thought key to happiness). But truthfully, love causes the most problems in the world. You are born alone and you die alone. So why bother meddling with someone else's life if we already know that we are going to die alone? It is because our mind is so drunk on the thought of finding true love. True love, that doesn't exist. True love is only in movies. No person has a perfect love life. Even the couples who've been together for a long time still fight and get frustrated with each other. So why do we need love? Honestly, the only love we need is the love from our parents and our kin. Though ironically your parents fell in love and created you. But as I said, we as people are drunk on the thought that love is happiness. Though in some cases it is, it's not always the solution.
