Out of 6 Billion People living on the planet and so many people who are married to one or more people- so many people falling in love every single day. With lust, and affairs and love… is love really this magical thing we all picture it to be?
I mean six billion people on the planet right now and its the norm, the expectation that at least once in our life we all fall in love with someone. Six billion people falling in love… if anything happened six billion times, we wouldn’t think it was so special, so magical- so why is love so different?
And i mean, if we all fell in love just once, some people know are telling me they are in love with someone new every single week. What makes love so special? Just to start with, it’s such a complicated thing and people find it so hard to express. To layout exactly what they mean by love is it an emotion? a feeling? it’s everything rolled into one. it’s the endpoint- where people want to reach.
It’s what you get- it’s happiness and love and being content and affection. It’s jealousy. All rolled into one. So how do we define such a thing as magical? I don’t think anyone would say that being happy is magical. Or being jealous is magical. Or lust? None of these things are by themselves anything special. It’s what we encounter on a day to day basis. It’s what we base our lives upon. The search for happiness, the meaning of life. All these things!
So why then, when it comes to another emotion/fear/action- love- we put so much emotion and energy into it. Especially when, at the end of the day, the majority of people just end up so disappointed. That sounds liek some sort of cynical and negative way to approach it. But maybe that’s the key. maybe that’s why it’s so magical.
Because so many people miss out. So many people get hurt. And knocked back. that when someone really finds what love is, when it actually happens for real. When we boil it down and filter out the people who are simply content rather than happy. We filter out the people who are settled in their life… maybe we actualy find not all six billion do fall in love. Despite the expectation. Maybe we find it is really alot smaller than that.
I don’t know what love really is, but oyu know what? I hope I find it one day.
