A Satire On Love

What Does Love Got To Do With It

Love is a very complex emotion. People everywhere search for it, but some never find love. It is a very coveted thing. Many are willing to do whatever it takes in order to obtain it. In the end, love is said to bring true happiness. If finding love really brings true happiness, it sounds like a lot of unhappiness to get through.

Let us take a moment to examine love with this thing we call "love". The search for love makes people do crazy things. Think of all the stupid things people do. I've seen a guy who get beat to within an inch of his life for a girl, because he "loved" her. Sure it was hilarious to watch, but going through all that is ridiculous.

Love gets to be extreme waste of time and money. Who wants to go around buying things for other people? All that money could be saved to spend on yourself. There could be a huge plasma television in your living room, or there could be some big extravagant jewelry on your loved one. Obviously the huge plasma television is what would make you happier. Dating alone must waste at least a quarter of your money earned. In the end, you are getting robbed in a sense. Why would are you going to make someone else happy, when you can make yourself happy? When you fall in love with someone, there must be a great deal of effort and time put into learning about the other person and trying to make a life with that person. It also cuts into the time you spend with your friends. Picture a scenario when you are out with your friends and you get a call from your girlfriend or boyfriend. Now they want to spend time with you, but plans have already been made to go do something else. There is really no choice in the matter. Time must be sacrificed with friends in order to spend time with the "significant other". Then if marriage occurs, you can kiss your friends and money goodbye. The average wedding costs about thirty thousand dollars. For that much money someone could buy most of some small third world country. There will be no time for anything you like anymore. There will be nothing but sacrifices to be made on your part. If kids come out of this equation, then kiss life goodbye. Kids have got to be the worst result of love imaginable. That is the biggest waste of time and money ever. When they are babies, they must be changed, held, taken to the doctor when they are sick, and must be watched at all times. As they get older they are going to start developing interests. This is where your time and money is really going to waste. If it is a boy he will probably want to play some kind of sport or a girl wanting ballerina lessons. These things are not free activities. Then you are going to be expected to show up to their dumb little league games or recitals. Otherwise it is said to cause extreme emotional distress or some nonsense of that sort. It is not like your going to get paid back for any of this either. When they get older they will move away and basically you will never see a nickel back from any of your investment. The kid's college education alone will leave anyone in debt until they can not even remember their own name.

What happens if your love fails? When divorce enters the equation, your hopes of a normal life disappear. If you get stuck with the kids then you have to raise them on your own,
