What is Love?

What Is Love?

One Huge Illusion............something everybody talks about but has rarely seen....

Yeah, it is great to know that it is better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all. However, it is an illusion, as well....

What to do? I guess nobody knows. Why do people tend to live in the world of illusions, rather than turn to the reality (if only they knew what kind of reality they are talking about....) ...

I once went to a photo exhibition, and I saw the following note under one of the photos: "There's no real tragedy in life but the lack of illusions." (I think, the photographer was citing one prisoner he had met while working on his project.) I don't know what kind of crime that prisoner had committed, but apparently life in prison turned him into a philosopher.... But do we
really have to be philosophers to perceive the meaning of life? Do we really have to "create" the universal truths and pass those artificial ideas for something genuine? I don't really know...

When they say, "love has died", they can't be right, because love is something that belongs to the category of "eternal". It never dies, but one illusion replaces another. And as long as those illusions keep replacing each other, the person feels unhappy.

Is it really what the humankind is worthy of? Does it really mean that human beings are doomed? Nobody knows. Meanwhile, they continue trailing their way on the planet Earth in pain, disillusionment and constant suffering from the
feeling of failure to find "the love of their life" which they'd been looking for all their lives.... in vain.... because they'd been chasing... an illusion.
