What is love? baby don't hurt me, no moar
So, what IS love?
It's a pretty recent concept. Well, the romantic kind. I'm not talking about the familial kind, or the religious kind where you love the father, the son, and the holy spirit.
Anyways, people have several reasons to seek out love. Whether it's to find warmth, money, comfort, or completion, to each, his/her own.
I guess the oldest reason would be completion. Proof can be found in both works of literature and in physical form. Sex and the bible? Oh, sure. Man and woman come together and join to become one new man. Literally and figuratively.
That's why it's called knowing them "biblically".
People can say otherwise. You can say you're a concept. And in the eyes of others, sure, I guess you might be. Loving you as a "concept" and not as a person. Or whatever.
But in this day and age, I've come to realize "what is love?"
No. Not the answer. The question.
Romantic love has become such a new ideal. And yet, it's fading as fast as it grew.
You get so many retries at the thing nowadays. Marry, happiness, discontent, divorce. Repeat as desired or necessary.
Maybe thats just what it takes to become "complete" nowadays.
Or maybe becoming complete is just a byproduct of the need to fulfil what is inherently in us. The act of sexual reproduction. But there's still the human factor of responsibility. And thus, birth control was born.
So, it's come to the point where finding the person who finally "completes" you takes several tries. Because, with each person you meet, you add a little to yourself. Can you imagine that? If you had met that person at an earlier time, maybe it wouldn't have worked. But now, it does.
Odd, huh?
