There are so many great things we could be remembered for, but if history has taught us anything, it’s the negative that tends to last the test of time, not the positive.My greatest worry is our generation will be looked at as the generation that gave up on love. We date for the sake of dating. The generation that forgot how to love — which is ridiculous. Most people have never had a good understanding of love, just a poor interpretation of it.
Here are some of the reasons that explain why we fail to be in love:
1. We care more about instant gratification than we do anything else.
2. We’ve built a culture driven by drugs and booze.
3. We sleep around — a lot.
4. We’re becoming even more egocentric.
5. We date for the sake of dating.
6. We aren’t fans of making compromises.
7. We believe in fairytale endings.
8. We’ve been fooled into believing perfection is attainable.
9. We’re goal driven, but often forget to include our partners in the mix.
10. Most of us are really bad at loving.
Of course, each individual is different in his or her understanding, but most people seem to be incredibly lost. The issue is if we don’t come to understand love better — its purpose, its boundaries and its shortcomings — we will never be happy.
That’s nothing short of fact.
