Fool's Paradise

What a grand thing, to be loved!What a grander thing still, to love! Quoting Victor Hugo I once again feel that this is nothing but an illusion. I have come so far from calling it a mere illusion to proclaiming it as fool's paradise. When we fall in love, instantly come the promises of spending lives with each other, statements made that each one is so perfect to compliment the other person. One fight...one misunderstanding and all that feeling of being complete with each other, the perfectness all simply evaporates into thin air. All the promises are broken, old feelings lost down the road of getting hurt and mending...isn't there a saying that all is fair in love and war & promises are meant to be broken...but what about the hearts that are broken in the bargain??? After losing a love it feels as if some part in you has died out completely, which takes a lot of time, love and patience to come alive again. To get over this lost love we once again surround ourselves with various illusions, trying to keep ourselves busy with whatever nonsense that comes our way. These false comforts don't last long and its much better to live life by facing reality rather than running away from it. For all those who have loved and lost: if you love someone set that person free, if that person comes back he is yours, if he doesn't it was never meant to be...time to move on with your life. Time stops for none, life also the same way can't be restricted to one person....life is too short or too long to halt and wait. Like the continuous motion of the waves in the sea, life also has to move on...its all a part and parcel of life...getting hurt, mending and falling in love again only to get hurt again...learning from the mistakes yet committing them again...its a continuous process.
