Love? or not

I don't believe in LOVE. I believe its a fancy word which is often just misunderstood for a lot of other things, and even more often the sanctity of the emotion behind the word is just abused.
And yet i don't believe in love. I believe its a state of mind ( I will elaborate on this in my next post)

However I believe in respect. And I believe in relationships, sustaining them. If you see around yourself not all relationships are based on 'love' or whatever that feeling is. And the only way you can be around someone or value your relationship with them is if you have respect for them - the degree of which may vary. (Btw those of you who disagree and believe there are relationships without respect, this topic is not for the likes of two faced human beings out there :p) You don't necessarily love all your family, extended ones, friends, acquintances but you continue to live with them, be around them.

So there is respect and fondness in this world which in my belief if multiplied by 100 with some percentage of attraction constitutes 'love' - between men and woman or man and man or woman n woman (I have to be politically correct here)

As I said I belive love is merely a state of mind, which can easily fizzle out one fine day. But what is more important in life is respect, fondness and relationships and valuing them. Life is short keep people who you value, chuck out the ones who cause you much grief :)
