(Part 3) Love is on the Market-

I am writing this piece in response to two friends. One recently stated to me that 'loving is the most honorable thing in the world.' The other, when asked to further notate the topic, stated that 'it is better to have loved and to have lost that love, then never to have loved' . . .

As this is a topic that never ceases to fascinate me, I wanted to continue it. Please do not take me the wrong way, as my ideas are rebellious. They fight bullishly to the top of the line, to escape from their matrix. . . they are not very well confined.

I am a declared skeptic. I confess that I do not understand the concept of relationships. In our society, there is plenty of reason to suspect some deep, other motive brewing . . . however, this is not to say that I do not believe in love. I just do not think that relationships are necessarily the base point. How one can be used as a base to build upon, when the idea is wrong, makes no sense. Is the reason to play mix and match? Is love for money, is love for looks? Is it so that one might be socially accepted? Is love merely for companionship? How, in short, do you define it?

It seems to me that there are so many reasons for it that none of them can possibly be true. Caring for other people is natural; it is without cause. True love has no manipulation behind it. I feel as though I can spot a false relationship quicker than anyone else can.  Perhaps this is because the parties are generally trying to love. What would be an 'honorable trait' has been made a joke of. Love has become a product. It is now on the market so that you can choose the correct size, shape, and color . . .

People are always trying to love, and they are always failing to do it. True love only has one color- it is only white. I do not think that one can go 'looking' for love. Love must come to you. This is why I have always declared myself against dating. The very idea of placing yourself on the market, to show your product to the world and be judged- is wrong. It feels like a wrong hand in a game of cards, and you are losing. Love is like a dove . . . it must be free to fly to you.

Love is NOT on the market.
