From a visual novel I really like, but this really stuck me as "right" when I first read it. Wonder what people can think about that?
"Love is an illusion, a misunderstanding.
Mutual love is a mutual misunderstanding of being mutually loved.
And engagement is a vow to not wake up for your whole life from that misunderstanding."
Sorry not trying to be depressive toward love there tho, by definition love is a "belief" in the other, it's not something that is ever settled down, and no matter what you believe the other is feeling and thinking toward you, the reality is always a bit off from there.
Love is larger then romance as well, it falls into friendship and various other things. Just like a writer with their fans, the "love" shared between the two falls into that discrepancy.
Still, I'm writing this in the hopes of hearing what people think about this. Is this too depressive a view of love? From the most ancient times people have wanted to believe in something or someone, I'm not sure it's good to even approach matters of love in concrete absolute terms. Thoughts?
