Dependency Issues.

People seem so convinced when they talk about love and their relationship. Every person I know to be either in love or in a relationship keeps telling me about it. They keep harping how those two things are meant to be and one supports and replenishes the other and how it improves on something already so, divine(actual quote this one).

So I got down to study this so called love-relationship mechanism. And as per my severely twised outlook, I stumbled across a realization which had been long coming. I had known all along that there's something fishy in the business of so called love-relationship stability and interdependence. They aren't interdependent at all. Yes, its true that everyone feels those two things go hand-in-hand on the joyride of life. But infact it is also true that both of them can survive without the other.

Love doesn't need a relationship to take place. And numerous relationships keep going long after love has died, albeit begdrudgingly. Take for example the case of Romeo and Juliet, the eternal love story, the first epic win of Love over all odds. In their case, love didn't need a relationship to blossom. All that was there was Romeo loved Juliet and she loved him back. And their love lives on long after they died for it. In a more modern world there are so many cases of a love-smitten idiot longing and pining for someone who they can never have. Here also love exists without the slightest hint or hope of a relationship (I hope Megan Fox is reading this).

In the second instance of relationships going on without love, well you can see that everyday, people stick together for a number of reasons, long after love is dead. Maybe they stay together for the kids, or maybe a lesser reason. But their relationship still exists. Yes people will argue that such a relationship is but only a shell of a relationship when love is dead and gone, but I never argued the point that love and relationships mix well. All I'm saying is that they don't need each other to survive.

All I mean to say is, love and relationships sure mix well, but they don't need each other. They can be mutually exclusive. Its like coffee and cookies, sure they go great together, but you don't neccessarily need one to enjoy the other.
