To make a long story short – I had some thoughts about my past life with women recently. And there was more than one among them who, I thought, I do love. One of them told me the same (if you read one of my first articles carefully, you know why !!). All of them have one thing in common – they are all history now. No more than a blurry memory of the past.
But aren’t these 3 magic words supposed to be the one’s you pronounce only for once in your life?
This idea was extinguished a long time ago, as I see… Today, there is not only a gigantic recession in marriages, but also among the existing ones, the divorсe rate is enormous.
The values of today’s society have become different. Just like the attitude towards things like family, marriage, even fidelity and faithfulness is abandoned by many people, especially in the western capitalistic civilization, where career has become concern number one. How can people like these speak about love even? If they do not even fulfill the basic things under which this phenomenon can theoretically occur.
Just like honor, honesty and uprightness, love is a word which meaning has been not only abandoned, but even violated.
It’s meaning is not the one it used to be. It is used when someone wants this boy/this girl to be with him/with her. Or when someone just wants to trigger a one-night-stand with such a line. Or when someone meets, or when someone talks to someone on the phone. It has become “too normal” to use a line like that. Inflationary even.
In first line, it is used today to achieve either pleasure or some kind of wealth. Just like in my case, when these words were used to hypnotize me. It took quite a while for me to realize that her actions and her overall attitude did not actually fit to her words.
The worst thing is…
It is not a crime, you cannot be punished for something like that. In other words – there is nothing we can do about that. Probably I will now create an image of a guy who is a kind of sick romantic, but this is actually my point of view. And as I am in company of about 40 nice ladies and gents from all possible countries and nations, I am just curious about what you, folks think about all that! I would be glad to hear your opinion!
(Sorry that today I decided to cut to the chase instead of endless tirades =))

I agree you with you that the word love has lost its importance or at least weight that it shoudl carry throughout the years. It has become a word that is used all teh time, just another verb that many use to end their sentence with.
It is possible to love more than once in your life, but I do agree that those words should only be uttered when one is utterly sure of their meaning, and more importantly of its greatness. You should only say it when you really know or at least in that moment think you mean it.
On my blog, I actually talked about the same thing, only these ideas were captured in a poem.
