Is love really that complex?

Hello my donuts!! ♥ ♥

I hope everything has been bright and sunny at your end. Mine sure has. And I mean literally! Too hot and humid in this part of the world. -_-

Today I will be talking about a rather touchy topic, so all you people out there who don't have a broad mind or who don't 'think', I request you to close this web page and well, surf some other site.

Ha Ha! Funny thing about the human mind is that the more you poke it not to do something, the more it is intrigued to do it. But, that was no cheap tactic to get you to read my post, I genuinely meant that as a warning. ^_^

This is STRICTLY my view on how I look at things.

So, lets begin! :)

Today's topic as the name of this post suggests is "Is love really that complex?". In my point of view, NO. Love ain't complex. People are. Thus, people make love complex. Love is beautiful feeling (if you have felt it). And what makes it even more wonderful is when you love and you are loved back.

Cupid ain't stupid. You are.

Now, when I say love and be loved, I mean in the same timeline. -_-

Not the weird love stories where a girl loves a guy and the guy is like "Dafuq?". And nearly a year later, by God's unforeseen miracle, the guy responds back and the girl is like "Dafuq? It's been months since you rejected me and I'm over you!". I know this story sounds ridiculously funny but trust my soul, this is a true story! :|

If you have felt someone's love in the same time frame, bless your soul, you're lucky! :) The other unlucky ones, ummm.. Errrr... Keep your hopes up!

Now you love each other, everything is hunky dory, the world is shining for you but BOOM, something goes wrong. So who made things go wrong? Was it Love? Or was it the human involvement?

Oh I don't mean the unexpected things that come up during relationships. I mean the "I love you but I cannot be with you because we follow different religions!" or "You and I are of same sex. We cannot be together" or "The age difference between us is insane. We aren't meant to be" sort of problems that occur.

Boohoo... Things are not so La-Di-Da now, are they?

Now I will be talking about love and religion and age. So readers are still advised to turn back if they cannot handle it. I will not be talking about love involving same sex because I don't love anyone of the same sex and neither do I know anyone who does so. So, although I support love between same sex, I don't have a definitive opinion about it.

So love and religion. Ah! Religion - One of the prime agents that still contribute to the factor of two people being together in this country. I personally hate it. Maybe it's because I'm open minded and I think if two people want to be together, they should. To hell with the world. I admire the western countries for this. People out there can be with anyone they desire and no one points a finger at them and says 'What have you done? You have sinned. You will burn.. etc etc..'

I wonder why majority of the parents are still so rigid, even in this generation! Sometimes, I think 'Hey! Maybe our parents were also young and hot blooded like us. Maybe they too fell in love. Maybe their parents said NO and now our folks have vowed never to let anyone else including their kids stay happy'.

And then I get a scarier thought 'If this trend/cycle continues, will we let our kids also suffer?'. I hope not. o_O

Now, don't think of me as an atheist. I'm not. I do believe in the Almighty but I also respect other's belief. And as long as you respect that and are ready to accept them for who they are, for what they believe in, I don't think you'd make your love story complicated.

I know a few people who ended their love stories just because they thought they didn't have a future. Its so sad. It really is. And not because, they didn't have their happily ever after. It's sad because they claimed they loved each and didn't stand up for each other.

Where is the love then? -_-
I hope you guys have heard Adele's song - Skyfall. Beautiful voice. Beautiful song. And lovely lyrics.

♪ Let the sky fall,

When it crumbles,

We will stand tall,

and face it all, together,

at Skyfall. ♫

Trust me boys, if you claim to love your girl and don't stand up for her, you're an idiot! There is nothing more attractive than a guy standing up for his girl. Period. And the same applies to women. If you fell in love and didn't stand up for your man, shame on you!

I personally love this ad. For the folks who don't understand Hindi, the ad involves a couple (following different religions) having a new born baby and the dad who decides that his daughter should be able to choose whichever religion she wants to follow. I think this ad is just brilliant.

I wish more people were like that and not because of the fan showcased in the ad. ;)

So that was people in love who belong to different religions. Don't even get me started with people in love, from SAME religious background but end their relationship because of caste issues. Every time I hear such a story, I feel like giving myself a facepalm. -_- It's like we deliberately and subconsciously have vowed to make our love lives more complex.

"We cannot be together because I'm from the purest of pure castes and you, well, are from a not-so-pure caste!"

I think it is ridiculous and I mean no offence to anyone who is under going such a problem but really, think about it, isn't it us humans who make matters more complicated?

Lets add another bit of complexity in our love stories. AGE! Now personally, I think, an age difference of plus or minus three years is okay between a guy and girl. But somehow, it still bothers people and that again becomes a lingering factor of two people not being together. Of course, if the age difference between you and your partner is HUGE, then that IS weird and you should really ask yourself what the hell are you doing? o_O

Bottom line is: ALL these worldly factors introduced by us humans make our own lives so complicated, we just forget to cherish true feelings in life sometimes.

So I say it again - Love ain't complex. People are. People make things complicated.

Now that we established that things are complex because of us humans, how you deal with these factors will test your love for your partner.

Would you risk it all for your happily-ever-after with your loved one? Think about it. ^_^

As for me, I know I won't go down without fight. And then again, what is life without a little drama? ;)

Until next time... Hmm.. I won't sign off the usual way today. 

I recently came across a couple who have been together for 9 friggin' years. AMAZING right? What makes it even more amazing is that, they are of different nationality and different religions and different age group. Talk about diversity! Sheesh.. :D
Oooh.. Cherry on the cake is that they'll be married next year. Woohoo! :D

So until next time, folks, keep your hopes up, FIGHT and make your lives uncomplicated! Toodles. :D
