Sex. Relationships. Love.  

Are these the human mental
equivalent of blood, oxygen and water?

Human life are constantly
and unavoidably surrounded by the Three Critical Elements above.

 

Boy was born, boy grew up,
boy met girl, boy married girl.

Are these really the
fulfilling path of people’s life?

 

A long, long time ago an
innocent girl was boasting about how marvellous love is, and how she could not
imagine how cold, ignorant, and lifeless life would be without the existence of
Love.

 

Then someone she knew said:

"but imagine how
stable life would be without love".

Unable to defend herself,
she kept quiet.

 

Some long, bumpy and curvy
road later the words popped out of her head like a jumping hot popcorn. The
world suddenly shifts. She never looked at life the same again. Suddenly
everything makes sense. The sudden break up, the persistent nightmares, the
undeserved joy that she always knew was too good to be true.

 

Maybe the saying is true,
and it has carved a powerful mantra in her heart.

Your brain starts to
think the moment you were born, and stops the second you fall in love.

 

In the early journey of my
twenty-something-ness, I begin to wonder:

do I really want love?

 

An old, dear friend of mine
once talked about his life.

 

"Life’s good. No
girls, no distraction."

 

And just like that, he rest
his case.

 

Don’t get me wrong, this
doesn’t mean that I loathe the old-time classic tale of Romeo and Juliet, or
Cinderella and her prince charming who would stormed outside his castle with
his majestic white suit to find one of many glass shoes, or, for a closer
reference, our newly wed neighbour, who seemingly happy to spend each weekend
gardening their empty backyard. After some conquests which involved endurance,
patience (which I have found very challenging), and under/standing, I have come
to a conclusion:

 

Life is stable
without love.

 

And just like that, I rest
my case
