All you need is Love.

Love is such an interesting concept. Its amazing how much people are ready to sacrifice and give up in the name of one psychological concept. I can't imagine the feeling of being in love, I'm at a certain level incapable of this feeling for another individual(not counting family in this equation). The feeling of complete emotional dependence, trust, complexity, belief and faith in a singular individual is impossible for me. I could never manage to be so supremely out of my mind so as to devote my whole sole and body to another individual.

Call me a kid, but I really doubt my ability to fall in love. Fine I am able to feel love for my family and my immediate kin, but thats a different kind of love. I am personally unable to feel that poetic love that so many people around me keep harping about. Somehow, inspite of all the proof in front of my eyes, I find myself doubting the existence of such a feeling of utter surrender.

For me, Love is a passing feeling. From where I stand, I see two types of people in this world, those capable and believing in everlasting and all forgiving love, and those believing in temporary and fleeting love(a sort of intense affection if you may). I think I stand somewhere in the middle of these two categories. I'm neither able of that unconditional love, nor am I such a bastard so as to be temporary in "love".

The term "I Love You" is thrown around a lot in our world. People use it as and when they like, I for one never see the point of saying it unless I actually feel it. Those three words are of monumental importance in a relationship, and the way people throw them around like a pack of Oreo's is quite comedic, and sad at the same time. The value of those three words has diminished somewhat, thanks to our liberal use of taking a feeling of even the slightest affection, or even lust for that matter, and branding it with the tag of "Love".

Somehow the poetic love all people speak of will be unable to survive in today's world of fleeting romances and quick affairs. Love is a just a relative term these days to describe a number of feeling ranging from affection to liking and from feelings to lust. In these confusing times, I'm sure Cupid is running out of ammunition. Maybe he just dropped a Love Potion Nuclear Warhead a few years back left us all to our own instincts. In that case, well played, nothing like undermining the importance of one of the most interesting feeling of humanity, to throw the world in chaos.

Seems John, Paul, George and Ringo weren't so right after all, All you need isn't love, you need looks and a fat paycheck to seal the deal.


P.S.> I bet 8/10 people reading this blog expected me to end it with that old cliche. Well you win.
