Bleak view of love?

I realized today how much of a cynic I have become. Some would say that approach of telling someone emotions won’t last is uncalled for. Sometimes showing too much of reality is something I think I am too good at. That’s me…..full of negativity. I guess sometimes it’s why people get blown off by conversations with me. Annoying but none the less true.

The question to pose now is why do people break up? For centuries men have sang of the greatness, divinity, strength, courage and so many other values associated with love and yet it is that same love that everyone grieves over and later explains it to be cold. “A love gone cold” they call it. What absurdity is that? That such power and such beauty could come to an end. Like a minor period of orgasm it was but now everything’s gone.

I don’t want to be a cynic but love just doesn’t seem to last. Maybe that’s why people nowadays are considering single parenthood. It’s easier to raise a child alone than to do it with someone else. It really sucks that we vest so much in a notion that sometimes doesn’t even last for a week. Ideals? In this world there seems to be no such thing as an ideal relationship where couples rough it out anymore. Seeing this age turn into one that lacks resilience and tolerance really makes me wonder where the concept of idealism has gone. There used to be couples who would tough it out no matter what. Now we break up over the car that your husband did not get.

I think people are exposed to so much negative role models that the idealism one used to find in youths are now gone. A society that used to reason in terms of ideals are now engraved in criticism, in sarcastic remarks. A need for ideals is now replaced by cynics who criticize and complain. We need to start asking ourselves this major question. Do we want the next generation to be one of a cynical nature that we’re now? Or should we at least strive to achieve an ideal that is possible even in the realm of love? The key word in the previous sentence was STRIVE. Are you resilient enough to tough it out? Or is the easy way out a better solution? Decisions, Decisions my friend.
