The age of logical heart

The God made us all flawed and incomplete and left it upon us to find the other half ourselves, and he thought it will be the best part of life and thus we call them "Better half". 

But this is past. This was during the time when people thought they were incomplete, they needed someone to be happy, they needed someone to love them and care for them, but one day a question changed the face of love and love stories forever: Do I really need somebody to be complete? 

We are living in the "Fast age", where we like things happening quickly. We love the adrenaline rush, we love the pace and we don't have time to circumspect or retrospect. We have become too practical, too realistic and too strong in our head. We are becoming emotionally unavailable but somewhere we live in fear because we think we are vulnerable.

We think if we open up ourselves to others, they will exploit us. If we fall for somebody, we will become weak and vulnerable. If we give our heart to someone, they will break it.
We have indulged in hasty generalizations and we have also become cynical. We have become so weak that one fall can break us, break our spirit and never let us get on our feet again. 

Our lives have become so complex, the idea of love has become so twisted that we mix our opinions with our answers. We love freedom so much, that we choose to escape unfavorable situations instead of staying there and fight for it.  Under the assumption of practicality and evolution, love has taken a more casual form. We give our hearts and end up being heartless. We believe in magic and end up being faithless. In the winds of change, we have replaced our heart with our mind and emotions have been replaced by logics.

With time we have grown emotional apart from each other. We prefer solitude more than being dependent on others for our emotional needs. There are times when we feel lonely, lost, devoid of love, desperate but we are too strong, too denying to let ourselves get entwined in such emotional things.

It's very sad to see that true love just exists in stories, forever is a myth, happy endings are illusions and made for each other doesn't exist.

We all think we are enough for ourselves, we are strong enough to refrain from falling in love and we can be and we are happy.

But are we?
