Once we become of age, we would all wish to find love. We’d wish to find that one person that honestly and truly likes us for us and nothing else. I have come to learn that “liking you for you” is something of a myth. Mankind lacks the inherent ability to love selflessly. There must be “something in it” for them. It’s just how life is, sadly. On my journey of searching for love, I have had several falls and knocks; heart breaks and sorrows. It’s really nothing to write home about. Definitely not a story worth recounting.
The fact of the matter is, I am as much to blame as the people who “caused me” that sorrow and pain. I was naïve and ignorant of the most basic principles that govern human relations and interactions particularly between persons of the opposite sex. I attribute this to my religious bigotry and denial of some of the realities of life in this world. There are just some ways that certain things work and there’s no way around them.
In spite of all this I still believe in love. I still believe that there is someone out there with whom I can be compatible. There’s a person I will love and be faithful to. Someone who will be my friend and true companion. This is my honest conviction and aspiration.
