Yes, I do believe there is love.

I'm talking about it in a very general sense.

Love exist in all kinds, but with love comes hate. Hate blinds you, covering up love. When hate fades away, it's like seeing sunshine after the rain, and love appears, in a more concrete sense. Love cynics, covered with hatred with love.

No doubt, love happens for the sake of curing loneliness, security, sex and more pratically, fulfilling how the society functions- reproduction of life. But we are all part of it and it's how nature works anyway. Assuming we are all God's creation then, HE could have made us without casting the 'feeling of love' to us. Voided, all of us are unable to love or be loved. But, we are given the ability to love, to feel for others. Additional feelings of pain, jealousy, envy, lust, care, concern etc. comes together with this single syllable word and well, making it even more complex to comprehend. (That's what this is for right? haha)

Great sacrifices and things happen, because of love. Shakesphere's Romeo and Juliet died for each other. Be it myths or fables, they all revolve around the one feeling- love.
In our modern era, how many dramas, music and movies revolve around love? In a commercialised sense, we see that love sells. It appeals to us. As much as some might hate to admit, dont we all wish that the lil perfect love story could happen to us?
But yes, perhaps love is too much commercialised, resulting in the doubts and distrust in it. It becomes too cliche and fluffy.
Nobody pursues the perfect love now, cause how do you even define perfect?

Regarding love, the scale's just too wide. I'll just point out 2 of it.
"Self-less love"- there is no more 'myself'. Something little people can achieve, especially in a realistic society.
"Compromising love"- caring enough, seeking comfort and enjoying the company of each other. I think that's good enough.

I do believe that we are all born to love. Even the coldest creature must have experienced some sort of love for hatred to surface, the point is, he/she HAS loved before.

Love exists in places where you cant guess where it would be.
It's there...but you haven't uncover it.
Your heart pumps to give you life, the life to love and be loved as well.
I guess you have to get your heart to believe in it to see it coming in the first place then.
