LOVE IS THE DAWN OF MARRIAGE AND MARRIAGE IS THE SUNSET OF LOVE

Have you ever noticed how everything happens in a cycle? How the seasons come and go? How life takes birth and dies? How energy is recycled? How empires and civilizations rise and fall? And how the sun rises and sets every day, without stopping? This is the flawlessness of nature. Something which also affects what human beings call "relationships". If you don't believe me, take a look at yourselves. Have you not wondered why after a certain time, you move on from your close friends and find different people who you can like? Does this not corroborate the above fact? I believe it does.

And this, my friends, is exactly what happens when someone falls in "love". People say that falling in love is the best thing that ever happened to them. I disagree. Falling is never good for your health, whether it be in love or on concrete. They counter by saying love is all conquering. I disagree there too. If believe that an MK47 grenade launcher should be preferred to "conquer".

And then comes the inevitable proverbs. A wise guy once said "love is blind". I not only agree to that, but would also like to add a line to the golden words. Love is not only blind. It's deaf, dumb and all sorts of other ailments as well. That is how it destroys the lives of so many poor but damned souls. Sticking to them for all eternity, this ailment not only makes the sufferer's life a living hell with it's constant tensions for paying attention to the loved one, it also makes one's pockets more than just empty. It makes the pockets look like they were dry wells that haven't seen a drop of water in decades.

Then comes marriage. If you thought love was a headache, wait till you see what marriage has in store for you. First, the constant attention paying increases (and if it doesn't, you're in for a show my friends), then come the costs of marriage. Later come the babies and more costs. Then comes the bickering and then comes the slow but sure death to love. Sure, love has died out and now you can relax. But that doesn't stop the wife and kids from drinking your blood like vampires does it? You're suddenly stuck in a wormhole with no place to go. And this is how you life ends.

So my simple but sure advice would be this: NEVER fall in love. Because as I said before, you'll only get hurt.
