PHILOSOPHY AND PSYCHOLOGY TODAY

LOVE

Love is believed to be a deep feeling of affection towards someone and something. Every human and animal expects an extension of love towards themselves, and when such feeling isn't available, they believe themselves to be hated by fellows friends and family members.

Now the big question is, Does Love really exist, or its just an illusion?

I will be giving a very straight forward answer. Love is an illusion. I am not one to believe in a feeling of great affection. What we so proclaim to be an extension of love is what i tag as "addiction". We all confuse addiction to love and I will be backing up my claims with proofs.

Lets take a relationship as an example. When two people are in a relationship, they profess their love for each other at the early stages of such relationships and over time, the love tends to go away and hate sets in. Why is it so? DId the love vanish? Did their psychology change? Yes it did.

No two people are ever in love, they only experience addiction for one another. and addiction is quite different from love in terms of definition, but is quite similar in terms of application and understanding. Why do long distance relationships crash? Why cant two people who love their selves not live apart for two years and still feel same degree of love and affection? Why do we forget those we profess to love when clearly love never forgets? The simple answer to all these questions remains the same. Because love does not exist. Its an illusion, and what we feel for each other is a degree of addiction. We get used to people over time, and get addicted to them, same as an alcoholic or a drug addict. the affinity with such person is strong and we misjudge the feeling as of love.

All these happens in our heads and the sooner we begin to expect no love from anyone, the better because then we will understand that every pain we feel in the name of love is not worth it. We will understand that the thought of love should not make us traumatic or stressed.
