I don't know but it seems to me that the definition of love as we know it has become totally different. nowadays love seems to be more of a strategy than a feeling. People make themselves love by choice, it's no longer fate or mysterious... it's planned. Honestly, are we moving towards a better era or just totally losing it?

I agree with you, people are losing it without faith or fate, they have more choices, they make themselves confused, and then they feel sad, why not just follow your heart and love only one person?

I think we are losing it, because that is what society is showing us that it is.. Not fait or anything like that, what they show in magazines and tv are there beautiful young people who married fast and give up fast, leading to our world as it is today. Beauty and looks are replacing love, I actually know someone who won't even watch certain movies if there is no one attractive in it.. Off subject a little but how sad is that..

Hi there! You may be right that now many a times a hidden motive is behind loving someone. Love between two persons does not seem selfless. May be people are getting more materialistic and start seeing 'love' from that angle. Alas! people are different and we cannot do anything about it.

because of money,more and more people believe that one person have money ,have everything,and milieu around you embody one by one.most of the folks want you live with the rich people,they told you that you must studied hard,worked hard,earned much,then you could have a house and have a wife when you was young.if one person who were rich or had powerful background,they could save even nothing influence on them when they did horrible thing,the social just like this,to say nothing of love,just one part of the social.

Mind is good when money is concerned; mind is good when war is concerned; mind is good when ambitions are concerned; but mind is absolutely useless when love is concerned. Money, war, desire, ambitions — you cannot put in the same category love. Love has a separate source in your being...
