I don't own anyone and some of this was inspirred by the movie EverAfter
A Good Question
Someone once asked me "Do you believe in Love?". My immediate response was, "Of course!" I then began to describe the feelings between families and friends..... and how the World was full of love and so on. She interupted me " No!" she said, "true love....... Romantic love... The belief that there is only one person meant to be with you. " Usually, I just laugh off questions likes these from her. She is the kind of person who is always trying to make a stir- start a fight- make people laugh. This time it was " I am writing a paper arguing that there is really no such thing as true love..... that it is something that has just been drilled into us from childhood so that we will get married....." and blah blah blah. I started to argue again, but then I thought about it. I don't know why, but it seemed like a good question.
In the twenty- five years of my life, there have been three couples that I have compared all of my relationships to. An "ideal" to work for, if you will.... 1) My parents 2) Molly and Aurthor Weasley and now 3) Harry and Ginny Potter. These three couples epitomize to me what love is suppose to be like. All of them love each other without question. They are caring to one another, they light up when the other comes in the room, and I know for a fact that all of them would lay down their lives for one another. But isn't it possible that these people are freaks of nature? I mean think about it, one person, out of like fifteen billion. ONE PERSON. The odds are incredible. And then if you think you find your "person" and you marry and then they die- Is that the only person that you get? What if you marry again? Is that person the one you were supposed to be with in the first place? And if so, is it fair that another person had to die so that you could find your one person? To me, it sounds quite illogical. I am a person who believes in facts and figures and if this is the way its supposed to be, whoever made us didn't really think things out well.
Then, there is the question of why I or "we" as people are so quick to defend love. I especially, a girl who has never really had a relationship that lasted longer than two months. Why am was I so quick to defend something that I have never experienced- and if I look at the odds, probably never will. I suppose deep down I am a hopeless romantic.....I guess all of us are. I think that the reason we defend love so quickly, overlooking logic, is simply because, we all want to find that ONE person.
