I see people struggling to find "love" and they end up getting compromised and some in broken relationships. Eventually hurt. Why? Why cannot we just go on with our lives, our ambitions, our plans without associating it with someone special?
And then on the top of it, the materialistic world has made it more complicated. Things like valentines day and all tease a person and make them rush to jump into complex relationships, just in the quest of love.
Among human relationships, I think it is between parents and children that a more truer/genuine (not perfect) love is commonly found. In regards to the love that you are referring to, I do believe that pockets of it exist. But that kind of love (and marriage, too) has become more of a joke these days.
Ofcourse love is there.Nobody is denying its whole existence. But we can debate is whether its as big as its highlighted? Whether its worth the effort a common person puts in to “find” one?
Like you said love including marriage has become a joke. Still you see all rishta aunties are successful. All hookup apps are a hit. And those who arent getting any luck there are crying over it. Why cannot we just accept the face that love is merely a bubble and move on

Our lives and our ambitions and our plans are not isolated. They are connected to other people such as our family, friends, etc etc. So the desire to share our joys and sorrows with others is an innate one.
But just like your blog, this one is also a struggle between brain and heart.
I say let brain make the decision. It will be better for everyone. Or may be there is no involvement of heart in these matters at all. We have just made it up.
love is definitely a bit overrated. what’s underrated is finding someone who is compatible with your morals and values, you are fond of and can see yourselves building something that you both believe in. it’s finding logic within the love that is underrated. possibly. because that is what will eventually keep you ticking along nicely.
Love is a lot of things, but it is most significantly corny as hell. Half of the time people can’t even differentiate lust, infatuation, and love so a bunch of hoopla ensues. If I were to put any stake in love, I would prioritize familial and platonic love.
I know I may be a bit generalizing here, and this is not the case for everyone. BUT - one thing I won’t understand, is that the more bitc*y you are, the more loyal seems to be. I have seen countless examples and will never understand why. so love being over rated or not, treat your significant other (esp if you are a girl) like shit, and he will be yours
I have seen that as well. But I also know of relationships which eventually broke up because of this very reason: that the other person was too detached and careless.
It is within human nature that we tend to take for granted those that care too, too, much about us. We may even become annoyed with them. It is also true that we tend to miss something when it’s gone or we tend to desire it more when it isn’t so easily attainable. But yet again, it is also true that we have the potential to eventually tire of the person who acts like a btch to us all the time. So, it seems that it’s better to be in the middle path where you show your care for the other person, but don’t lose yourself in them to the point that you become a doormat.
But if you were with someone who is always seeking “limerance” …which is that heady excitement that comes from the early stages of attraction and infatuation…then they will always be on the lookout for someone “new” to quell their boredom. And it’s hard to feel secure in this kind of equation. Even the next person…or the next person…or the next person…or the next person…that comes into their life…will not be enough for them.
