all you need is love (wah-wah-wahwah-wah)

[lotesse]

How important is love? Is it the most important thing in a life? Or does it not matter that much? The poets and writers tell you that love is everything, the pragmatics say that there's more to life than boys, and I can't think of anything else. He's every thought, every breath, every dream.

School? What school? Even the textbooks have all become love stories.

Yeeeep, that sounds like love. When you're in it it feels like it's the most important thing of all, even though it's actually pretty damn insignificant.

But is it really? The stories seem to say otherwise.

Or maybe it's just me :P

Well, the stories were written from the point of view of people in love, right? Not the point of view of people who managed to get out of love already. Everything's subjective, of course, when it comes to significance.

Security is the most important thing of all, if you ask me. Once you're secure, you can take love up as a hobby, although I wouldn't recommend it; not the romantic kind, anyway. Love can be a beautiful thing, but the romantic part - we'd be better off without it. Filial love can be a part of security, though.

But can't security be a part of romantic love?

I don't think that the first flush of love is such a great thing. Sure, it feels nice, but it's essentially unstable. But perhaps love that outlasts that becomes security.
