The above title is self explanatory.
Falling and not rising ?
It is described as falling because being in love brings a lot suffering, sorrow, worries and makes one down. Falling in love also bring about internal conflict. Internal conflict meaning we knew the truth, the righteous path but simply unable to control our desire for some excitement, thrill maybe some lusty actions
Even history also taught us that some emperor lost and failed due to the woman they loved. The popular beautiful Helen of Troys causes so much chaos and wars when so many men are trying to woo her. Another example Napoleon Bonarparte's love for Jospehine was not truly a constant happy union.
According to novels, falling in love is something beautiful, that brings you so much pleasure and joy. And there are always some people who are ready to fight, with strong determination for the love because of loving someone. Some tends to be too emotional and even commit suicide should their love one withdraw from him/her.
Love is the basis of marriage - suppose to be the basis of marriage. Today obsession of commodity outweigh pure love. Financial criteria become the first criterion in everybody's life. Love is becoming very rare or maybe no longer exist, extinct through time, development and modernisation . Men and women are now mostly being lusty, interested in having physical sex with no care and concern attached. Even if there is love attached , there sure to be conditional love.
Another friend even told me. Those symbolic of cupid arrow strike. How come there be no pain when the arrow strike. Blood even ooze out.
Does this sorrow applies mainly because we love the wrong person, mismatch through unknown reasons, circumstances or is it already fixed this way, has to be happen and will happen?

Because love is not enough, it never is enough.
ReplyDeleteI subscribe to the idea that love should never be the basis for a relationship, ever. Because at the end of the day, even if the love doesn't fade, it's never strong enough to deal with the full force of everything the world trows at you.
Purpose, enjoyment, practicality and trust. There are the qualities that come before love in a relationship. In knowing why you stick together, in knowing that both of you can enjoy each other's company, in knowing that you both are working towards realistic goals, in knowing that both of you have faith in backing each other up. Those are the qualities that, at the end, puts food on the table, a roof over your head and a clothes on your backs.
Qualities that most people forsake in love. Qualities that will bring people together in a bond that defies normal conventions and love. Ultimately you have that choice, most people just blame love because they didn't know better anyway.
