What is love? Love can be defined as a "[profound] tender, passionate affection for another person", at least that what www.dictionary.com thinks. Love is also unconditional, meaning that no matter the circumstances the feeling can't be deterred. This is where love starts to feel non-existent in my book.
As I stated above love is unconditional. And yet, we all know people who have fallen out of love, or we know someone who has grown to hate the one they loved. If that is the case, wouldn't that mean that those people were never truly in love? If we can grow to hate the one we love then how can we say that we loved them to begin with? If love is suppose to be unconditional, a person shouldn't be able to grow to hate the one we love. Ok, so you might be thinking that you can love and hate someone at the same time. And I challenge you by saying it's impossible. We can probably agree that love and hate are complete opposites and lie at opposite ends of a emotional spectrum. If they are indeed opposites, how can a person feel 2 complete opposite emotions for one person? Simple. They can't.
As I also mentioned above, a person can fall out of love. I believe certain events or words can cause a person to fall out of love. If true love does exist, how is it that an event or simple words can deter this strong, profound, unconditional emotion? Simple. True love does not exist. Love may exist but true love, the love that isn't deterred by anything does exist. We all may have experienced the emotion called true "love", but don't be fooled. You are experiencing something that has fallen quite short of true love.
