Yeah, the bleak outlooks being expressed here certainly do nothing to dispel that tired old notion of atheists having nothing to live for. It's especially disheartening to see a young, cool guy like searchingforanswers expressing such cynicism about it. There is hope, however. If Sae can take her wall down and acknowledge the brilliance of love and romance, anyone can.
Firstly, regarding the kids. I think most of us have been there, in that position where you first become really interested in someone and you're convinced it's going last forever, so I try not to judge. Even in hindsight, the feelings I felt for the first girl I really liked, at age 15, seems to me as powerful a surge of emotion I've ever felt in my life. It may have been more about the adrenaline, but it was strong stuff.
Anyway, what is love? Complicated, and everyone's is different. Don't really have much more to add on it than that. On romance, however, I have plenty to say. I love romance, and being romantic, and being romanced. Making gestures to someone you care very deeply for to make them feel like they're the only person in the world that matters to you and seeing the look on their face when you do something that nobody has ever done for them before is invaluable; I wouldn't be without it.
Any of you guys saying that love is some kind of charade that we should do away with: How did you get to this point?
