I've noticed many people I know seem to fear being alone and actually seem most happy when they are first in a new relationship. I've only been in love once (it didnt work) but from what I remember, this first part of a relationship was really crazy, as both people kind of live for each other, and almost obsess over each other. However, as time goes on, no matter who the people are, this obsession fades (or its not healthy or productive in life for either) and they start noticing things about each other they may not like. Before long small problems become major, and the couple splits... After a few weeks, these kinds of people find another person, and start the process over with someone else.
Am I cynical in seeing this? Am I jaded? I truly am waiting for the one (if it is possible, but I am not going to do date anyone to keep the sheets warm til I find that person) Is that bad 
Another trend I have seen is that people who are in these constant relationships never seem to handle being single and will date and even shack up with the wrong person to not be alone.. Why is this not classified as an addiction and so many other things are in our society now? Is it because movies and songs are often times about happy endings with love? Have we not evolved enough to see that the fresh feeling of love does produce a chemical in our brain we can want to feel constantly? Isnt this what an addiction is?? |
1. REAL Love is a many splendid thing.
2. There is a counterfiet love which is really just lust for a time, but people think its love because of the euphoria associated with it .
3. There are three levels of love...Phileo, Eros, and Agape. Phileo is a brotherly or sisterly love as in deep caring friendships. Eros is a passionate type love both emotional and physical which one has in the context of lifelong commitment aka: marriage . Agape love is the highest form of love where total commitment and honor is due the person. Examples come in the form of a mans love for God or a marital couples love for one another particularly after a lifelong marriage where the two are inseperable.
4. Todays culture confuses Eros love as can be seen in many casual sex partners .
5. Most people shouldnt get married and just keep it at Phileo love , as based on the divorce rate. Many marriages should not have occured.
6. Real love is not only a feeling toward another, but it is demonstrated in ultimate commitment to ones welfare .
THese are some of my thoughts.
