Reflective Essay Example: Why I Don't Believe In Love

I believe that the concept of love is an illusion that's we create in our minds. Like crushes when you have a crush why is it that you see them as something special and not the others? Why do you have to treat them differently if it's love? Why do insecurities, heart break, trust issues come with them? I belive crushes are just your own ideal imagination of that one person I belive you are in love with the idea you have of them in your mind not the person themselves, and if your crush likes you back or vice Versa that means one of you was fooled into the illusion, how? Most people treat their crushes in a certain way for example they give them extra attention and sacrifice a lot of stuff for their crush. I think you can have strong affection to a perosn but not love, love is created by TV shows, novelist, movies, etc. To gain money and stuff. As for marriages I don't think a perosn can stay with one person for their entire life most people fall out of "love" as far as I know most people end up having their partner as more of a best friend than a lover. Love Is a hallucination created by our mutual connections there's really nothing like "true love" or "soulmates" because no matter how much you put into a relationship you never get back the same and vice versa even if you do it will go away with time, the only love you can have is affection. you might think "oh maybe I'm different" no your not even if your crush/lover is for example your best friend or some random person from another place how do you actually know them well to love them you might take a bullet for your lover but will they do the same? Even if they do they might hesitate and vice versa. If you look at relationships closely you might see that they aren't actually as in love as they seem to be there always that one person who has fallen out of "love" and the other is still stuck in the illusion or both. If love Is something that's supposed to make you happy why is it that it makes a lot of people miserable? Why do you have to sacrafice so much for love? If it's supposed to make you happy why is it most people who get out of relationship have lost a lot of stuff? Love is like a drug it makes you addicted and gets you miserable. If it's really true love why is it that you can change a partner easily as you change clothes, if true love makes you happy do you have to sacrafice so much to be happy? With love comes trust issues, betrayal, fights, sleepless night etc. If it's true love why is it most people don't trust their partner and if they do trust their partner does the other really feel the same way? In relationships their is always one person who ends up breaking the supposed "bond" or "love" why is it when people get out of relationships they are miserable, sad, heart broken and if you see them before the end of the relationship they will be saying that the person their with is their "true love". When poeple get married they arent married to a lover but more to a best friend someone who talks to you, listens to you  makes you happy, is there for you that's a friend a really see no difference between a friend and a lover I belive your mind has a hole it needs to fill that why it chooses a certain person believeing that perosn will fill the void that you think you have, what you need is affection not love.
