Is Love Lost

Love has changed over the years. There is very little monogamy, faithfulness, honesty and pure commitment. It makes it hard to even love the way your heart desire because you are afraid to truly open up your heart. All these social networks got every man in the world thinking they can have the women they see on Twitter, Facebook etc. Truthfully, those women on there because they are experiencing self-esteem issues or their heart was broken as well. So an easy outlet is allowing others to see your body and make outlandish comments about them. All men including myself, look at these women fantasize and make comments about them. However, every man wants his woman for himself and not the world to see. That is why the Hollywood relationships are hard to maintain. When you are onscreen naked, the world sees you. There is no longer that mystic about that particular woman anymore. Look at Halle Berry, arguably the prettiest woman in Hollywood but she can't sustain a long term relationship. Men are captivated by her beauty but her body is no longer a mystery to millions of men. We seen it, we were amazed and instantly our attention wanted to see something better. Now love is more than external beauty, it's understanding, compassion, trust, longevity, spiritual connection, and being best friends.  Look at the statistics on Divorces. Over 50% of first marriages end in Divorce, 67% of second and 75% of third marriages. The reason why the number continues to increase because you leave your first marriage for the person you cheated on your first spouse with, the second marriage ends because the person you thought they were wasn't real. When you get to the third marriage you think you have hit the nail on the head but actually you are settling because the desire to actually stay in a committed relationship has all but vanished. If we want to get back to the what love really means and experience true love, we have to first stop looking for love. You find people, items, and objects. So how can you find an inanimate object.  Love is an emotion. Love can't be touched but felt, can't be held but experienced. One day we will let all these superficial things that are holding us back from experiencing love. If ever in life we need to change anything, let's change the direction we are taking our hearts. Love should be painless but if we continue down our current path with love, our kids will never know how to really love.  Again this is just my opinion so take it as food for thought.

Live Free. Love Hard.
