I think there are many other emotional anxieties which may make you
forget the charm as well as the pain of love. If love is an intoxication and
cannot be given up so easily, there are other intoxication more potent than
love itself is. These other intoxication may overcome the hold of love and all
its roots and outcomes
I have narrated some activities that can soothe you to some extent in
case you are hurt due to your love in my other post titled “The Treatment of
Love”. I believe that love, the true love, that is a type of craze and
blindness, is really very strong. It penetrates into your soul and never let
you out of its hold. It controls and drives your emotions, your desires, and
even your senses. It governs your body and soul. It’s its will whether you pay
attention to other relations or not. It’s its will that you sleep on what time,
eat how much, change your phone number or not, laugh or cry, attend social
gatherings or remain in solitude. In fact, the hold of this blind feeling is so
strong that one can hardly come out of it, and if one can, one cannot come
fully out of it.
Now when we have realized the strength of love; a craze which never let
your senses do their work, we come to other things which, I think, are more strong in nature. These
things might not be so important for some individuals as they are for the
others. So it’s the matter of importance of these things in one’s life. Let’s
take these things one by one.
Economic Concerns:
As economic power is the central factor in one’s life, the importance
of money and the concern to earn it by all possible means may be more powerful
source of anxiety and worry than love. Actually a jobless guy who has a lot of
responsibilities like economic support to family, good life style, study
expenditures of his younger siblings etc will give his more time to financial
planning the to love and beloved. A boy,
eldest of his siblings, on whom his poor parents have invested their earnings
of the life, will have more sense of responsibility. He will always plan to
serve to his family in a better way and to change their financial condition to
a better one. If he is jobless, he will suffer tension and anxiety and this
tension and anxiety would be more powerful than the charm or fretfulness of
love. He will be in an economic race. He will be planning how to get more
profit out of a small investment. He will have no time to pay attention to his
love.
Moreover, love requires material well being from the partners if they
are to be married. The parents of both parties would never agree to establish a
new relationship between them just on emotional grounds. So the economic
concerns would count more than emotions. That’s how the economic concerns have
more power than love has.
Prestigious Status:
If a boy or girl who has got a position higher than the position he/she
was in when he/she started his/her love affair, he/she may turn to think
his/her love experience a mistake of raw age. He/she may think it an emotional
slip or something like that. A new high prestigious position in a society,
whether it’s a high rank on job or a high position in political sense, changes
the self concept of an individual. This new self concept will surely influence
his/her love. The intoxication of respect by others and obedience of others to
you, when we see in the context of human nature, is much more potent then the feelings of
love. The addiction of respect and submission is preferable to love which gives
more tension and worries than it gives serenity and relief.
I would end here by saying that the above said factors are also the
common reasons for break ups in most of love affairs. When these factors get
hold on the emotions that are responsible for the flow of love, then the
chances of break up are higher.
