Love is a very complicated thing. It can make or break even the strongest person. Love also has the power to change someone completely.

When someone fall in love, they can do anything that is seemingly ridiculous. Going to the extend of plucking the stars for their love ones and planning for the most romantic date that no one has ever seen. Valentine's day have just passed and it presented the most complete picture of what love can be like in many different pattern. Some spend lots of money to buy the most romantic present for their love ones. Some get their friends to help create the most romantic heart-shaped candles. Whatever ways it is, it is no doubt the most heartwarming scene.

However, I am not here to take about love itself. I want to talk about the negative side of love. When two person fall in love with each other, they are willing to do anything for them. For example, the guys might spend hundreds on just a normal date. At the end of the month, he have spend thousand over just on their expenses. They would also trade their friends in just to spend that quality time with their love ones.

It is especially stupid if you see it from an unbias viewpoint. Spending so much time and money on a relation that will not last. It is not worth it for that period of romance if you think through it maturely. Cash doesn't buy true love. Moreover, students are the ones that is doing it. Students who are studying and have no income at all. They take money from their parents to please their love ones. How stupid can that be. How sincere can that love be if it is from someone else?

But love has this amazing power to blind everyone. Love can make people do stupid things and still think that it is sensible. It can cloud their thoughts and hinder them from making sound decisions. More than often, they are unable to make the right call and they neglect on those who really care about them.

All this being said, love is still a sacred thing between two individual. I am not against love. In fact, I adore true love and I feel for all the romantic acts. But I am unable to accept the fact that some people do not understand love and try to act as if they are able to handle it.
