Plethora!

Ever wondered how we go on and on talking endlessly about love and its fallacies? Or, love and its magical mysteries?
As if there never existed another emotion…
I met a friend of mine today after 2 ½ years. Old buddy, fabulous well traveled job, a live-in relationship, bassist in an upcoming rock band from Australia, and an amazingly cute guy. ( HOT! Is an understatement!)
As usual, love lives are an easy topic to catch up on lost time… So there we were discussing the usual agony & ecstasy.
And then he mentioned something really hard hitting and true.
Hatred, he said, was the truest of all emotions or feelings.
Think about it. When we hate, we hate with our deepest loathe and disgust. We tend to get vengeful and work out meticulously planned strategies keeping a scrutiny on each and every move on our targets! Whoa… sounds like a war zone. But hey? That’s what hatred results into right?
Jealousy. Another fun feeling. Half the things we’re into today are because knowingly, unknowingly we let envy become our driving force. Ambition and zeal are just words for self flattery. Delve deep inside and you’ll unwillingly admit to yourself of all those times you’ve envied your own close buddies!( Holds true for me too)
Hunger. The deadliest of them all. It kills. Literally. And it’s not fun at all. Why so much crime and hatred and jealousy and all the negativity? Hunger for Sex, Money, Success, Revenge, Love, and the barest necessity of them all… Food.
Hunger is the worst enemy. But then again. The best friend.
Any takers?!

Hmm...Love is quite a mundane topic really, simply because we speak about it so often. Its an easy topic to bring up but after a while, its the same old thing with everyone. Either someone is happy or someone is sad in love. Well, I might go a little off topic here: Instead of love or hate, I could go on endlessly about the older generation; how much better they were than the current generation, and how the Internet has ruined the social lives of so many of this generation and will do so of later generations, even though it has made lives easier; but then, an easy life is not always a fun life. The adverse effects of Internet and instant gratification are visible to everyone, so I need not comment on those. And I feel it is also responsible for imbibing greater feelings of hate and jealousy, and hunger for everything that takes our fancy...

Love is an over-glorified emotion. We tend to make our lives revolve around it. And it's the reason why so much is lost. It's sad but true.
