There are no knights in shining armours to take you away on a white horse, nor are there any princesses or princes. But there is such a thing as happily ever after.

There is no such thing as love
This notion put forward by my law lecturer comes about as startlingly true, yet wages against the fairy tales that we have grown up with. He claims that love is simply infatution, with a limited time period, and the only thing that is forever is care.

Perhaps perhaps perhaps
And I am once more at the crossroads. I guess this love issue has been the subject of great debate, but perhaps love is really a concept that we have been wired into believing, something romantic and mystical that provides a form of escape from our mundane lives. Yet again, there is something magical about feelings.

Perhaps love is everything.
Because it encompasses loyalty, responsibility and duty. Perhaps that's why they say that love overrides everything. Well if you look at it this angle, it reigns true.
So what's the most important thing in the world? Love? If you equate love to happiness, then perhaps it is.
I guess it all depends on each individual interpretation. Just like how some people believe in love at first sight. Maybe us cynics do not believe cause we were never in their shoes to experience what they felt.
But love is ..well.. love. For all its controversy, love is never a bad thing. It's a great thing. So once again, why try to understand it? Just simply enjoy it.Give and take. It'll do all of us good. There's enough goodness to go around, if each of us share a little more.
