Love was said is a cosmic culture. It has no definite definition because before one has to define love the person has to first define choice. That is why, because of choice, we see different people in different relationships. Sometimes another man’s food becomes another man’s poison, and another man’s poison becomes another man’s food.
Any man who is not in love with a woman is in love with something. Love is such a word that has held the world to confusion. The lack of love has been the fruit of chaos and crisis all over the world today. And being in love has also made a lot of people cried, when the ‘love’ they found initially was not up-to-date.
Different people find love in different people. It could be in the person’s oratorical skill, writing skill, conversation skill, and all that.
Like somebody once said that, something must kill a man. So, also, something must attract one to another. It is that particular thing found in that fellow that shields every other bad side of that person, because it was in quote that love covers all things.
While few people crave the indulgence to be friends, many people crave the indulgence to be lovers. The later avert the idea of love to sexual excitement. To this, the people involved cannot go far with each to know and discuss some other important topics that might help them grow – than sex.
Being in a relationship with one another outlive every other material thing, we cannot forever be in relationship with our academics, and books and what have you.
Few people want a relationship while many want sex. And that could be why someone once said:
“The cause of divorce is marriage”
We need more friends, than we need lovers because, sex, is the ‘love’ to many people.
