Quote 'un'quote

I have, so far, read at least 100 quotes related to love, and have come across more than 100 viewpoints, because each person who quotes something has at least 2 points to make - each contradictory to another. In the same sentence. And sometimes, these quotes run a paragraph long.
It's not that love is such a beautiful and painful topic, it's the simplest fact that EVERYONE wants to make their opinion heard - and love is a 'feeling' and requires no prior knowledge, so anyone can speak anything, and get away with it.
Most of the thoughts are repetitive by the way. Love binds us all, not for the beauty or pain of it, but for being the most sought after topic to comment on. We all love to comment and quote. Yes, we certainly do.
And it rules our lives.

Don’t say it doesn't - have you seen the amount of time you have wasted crying in heartbreak or feeling lonely? And this includes listening to songs that remind you of the person, or those feelings that are now memories.
All a waste. I'm one of the 'in love' people on the planet. So this is not a mockery session out here. I'm all for 'eternal love' and 'may you live happily ever after' love. But there appear those rare times when this beautiful unmeasured feeling called 'love' is not welcomed in my life.
I wonder what people will talk about the day the entire human species is asked 'not' to talk about love (this includes staying away from songs and cute messages and gazing dreamy-eyed at photos). Maybe we will get a great, fat purpose in life. A purpose that goes beyond feeling low or high or sweet.

It will enable us to have 'focus' - in work, in life, in society. Thoughts related to our living, our health, our achievements will be brought in front of our eyes. Love is what I call as the biggest chain reaction. It sparks off an intense overdose of feelings that would otherwise be wrapped up in the cocoon of our hearts.

One day away from love will also bring focus to something else - Ourselves. It's a very normal case that we end up feeling emotions (negative or positive) for the 'other' person, not necessarily 'special someone' anymore. But where are we in this entire ball of love?
Love is a huge emotion, but the power it has on men and women alike is maddening, to say the least. Drawing oneself away from love can actually help one get a grip.
And more than anything else, it helps you 'get a life' when everything around you seems to be shattered to pieces.
