Is Love The Stupidest Drug To Be On?
“Being in love comes with a loss of identity plus the loss of your morals, boundaries, and self-respect, all for something that you know is not going to last forever.”
I saw a tweet from a young man who stated how nonsensical it is to give up on love because it didn’t work out with one person.
Maybe he’s right. Maybe’s he’s dead-ass wrong. Who knows? What I do know is that the definition of insanity is the act of doing the same thing over and over again, all while expecting different results. And this is what nearly 99% of the global human population adapt as completely normal, especially within the tumultuous realm of relationships that requires a lot of risk with very little reward. All for a shot at true love.
Of course some people try again, and again, and again. Then they take a break, try one more time and they fall in love. So per the young man’s point of view from earlier, it can work out. But at what expense? Because I don’t know anyone in love who isn’t putting up with some nonsense from their partner and choosing to overlook it or deal with it because they don’t want to start over at the dark, dismal place called square one once again.
My friends, this is what I call the hamster wheel of love.
