Haha classic but so true

Love is hard work and just like any profession, career, trade, craft, sport or hobby it can span over many years/decades and requires time, effort, focus, commitment, trial-and-error, and lots of practice. The hard work does have its rewards, but it is tiresome, and brings a lotta pain, sweat, tears, disappointments, callouses, scarring, anxiety and sleepless nights.

So love is really just a job/career, and sex is the equivalent of the pay cheque you get every fortnight/month. Kinky play would be like a reward or the bonus that is given only once a year (but only if you perform). Guys who change partners/lovers frequently would be equivalent to those people that change jobs every 2-3 years. And guys that have had the one partner for 30-40 years would be like those people that have stayed put at the one company/job all their life. Punting would be the equivalent of blokes that have a full time day job but moonlight and freelance after hours. And for the guys who get STDs/STIs would be like that guy that gets injured at work and goes on compo or light duties.
As for retirement....when it comes to love do you ever retire?

Don't agree with this, bro. If it was really Love, none of anything you do would feel like it was a job / chore / career. You just stupidly do stuff without needing any payoff or reward. That's what it is when it really takes hold of you.

Love is falling, and falling is a catastrophe.

Love is repetition; if repetition stops, love stops, too. If that stops, that leads to the lack of the other; and the lack of the other feels like something is missing; therefore, it hurts.

Love is a catastrophe that makes us vulnerable so that we give power to the other to destroy us

If you feel like that, you are in a catastrophe.

Love is trust


Love is kindness
Love is also sadness
Love is happiness
Love is smiling when the sun isn’t shining

Greek philosophers classified love into 7 types
- Eros (erotic)
- Storge (family)
- Philios (friendship)
- Agape (unconditional and selfless)
- Mania (obsessive)
- Pragma (mature and enduring)
- Philautia (self love)

The paradox of Love!
It's man's greatest strength, yet his greatest weakness.

Love is Bangla road. I hope I make it out..,
