A BELIEF WORTH SEEING

Greetings my beloved one's. How are you all doing today? I hope your day is going well.
I will love to narrate a story about a friend of mine. His believe which i did not buy even till date.

A friend of mine, John, holds what many even i consider a strange belief: he firmly believes that true love doesn’t exist. This conviction has shaped his view of relationships and life in a way that often leaves those around him puzzled. When asked why he believes this, John cites four main reasons, all rooted in his life experiences.

John’s first reason stems from his parents' marriage. Growing up, he witnessed constant fighting and a lack of affection between his parents. They stayed together out of duty, not love, which left a lasting impression on him. For John, their relationship was a clear example that love was more of a myth than a reality. He saw their interactions as devoid of genuine care or passion, making him skeptical of the concept of true love from a young age.

The second reason for John’s belief is his own romantic experiences. In his early twenties, John fell deeply in love with a woman he thought was his soulmate. They were inseparable, sharing dreams and planning a future together. However, their relationship ended abruptly when he discovered she had been unfaithful. The betrayal shattered his trust and reinforced his belief that true love was nothing more than an illusion, a fleeting feeling that couldn’t withstand real-life challenges.

John’s another reason dives around his observations of modern relationships. He often points out how many of his friends’ relationships are fraught with problems. From constant arguments to infidelity and breakups, he sees a pattern of relationships failing to stand the test of time. To him, this is evidence that what people call love is just a temporary state, not the enduring, selfless bond often depicted in stories and movies.

And also John believes that societal pressures play a significant role in why people claim to be in love. He argues that many people rush into relationships and marriages because of external expectations rather than genuine affection. According to him, this leads to relationships built on shaky foundations, further proving his point that true love is a societal construct rather than a real, attainable state.

Despite his conviction, John is a good friend and deeply cares for those around him. His belief doesn’t stem from bitterness but rather from his personal experiences and observations. He often engages in discussions about love, not to discourage others, but to share his perspective and perhaps protect them from the heartbreak he has endured.

While many may find John’s belief strange, it’s a reminder of how deeply personal experiences can shape our views on life. His story highlights the complex nature of love and relationships, and while others may not agree with him, his perspective adds to the diverse tapestry of human beliefs. John’s skepticism about true love invites us to reflect on our own experiences and the different ways we all search for and understand love.
Thank you for reading my post.
