Love is not an illusion in that it doesn't exist. The security that comes with love, the mutual caring-- the things which make love meaningful--are illusory because they're determined entirely by random variables beyond human control which have no loyalty to anyone.
In effect, the momentary feeling is real, but the popular concept is worthless.
Good thing then that we're in the relationship for companionship and not passion. Besides, playing Borderlands 2 with your significant others makes sure that you get your cocktail of love-inducing hormones.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
