Love/Life

by Alejandro Alfaro   Sep 27, 2008


Why do people live life like it doesn't matter to them, without meaning? The reason why people live their life without meaning is because they don't know why they exist. I believe that all human beings should try and learn before they die what they are running from, to and why. If they knew the answer to those questions then their desire for living would increase but those who restrain desire will do so because theirs is so weak to be restrained and so those who do so live a meaningless life because they will not fulfill their dreams. Also why do people live a meaningless life without the one they love? A strange thing because males and females, constantly in war with each other, never content to leave each other alone and never gasp the idea that they are very different from each other with different needs and desires. Is it love? Why do people love each other when they invent an imaginary lover and put that mask over the face of the body in their bed? Those who know each other only through symbolic representations are forced to imagine each other. And because their imagination is imperfect, they are often wrong. As a result, that is the source of two lovers' misery. That's why a lover should never show all of his/her love to one person. So why love someone? Why be with somebody when you're just going to get tired of them and deceive them? The answer is because they truly love each other. True love, the soul's recognition of its counterpoint in another. That's the only reason why two people can be together without having to deceive the other. However, finding true love is a very difficult thing to do but when it is found, it's like being born once again.
