We sanctified love, yet in doing so, we diminished it.
We trapped it in movie scenes, song choruses, and the unmet needs people projected onto one another.
We glorified love but forgot about values.
And in the end, what remained was a feeling that consumes but does not elevate.
The Mask of Repressed Emotions
Psychology tells us this: Every repressed emotion resurfaces somewhere else.
When sexuality is repressed, it emerges disguised as what we call passion or love.
When curiosity is left unsatisfied, it mutates into the obsession of “I can’t live without them.”
When the need for attention is suppressed, it hides beneath the lie of “love completes me.”
Maybe most of us have never truly been in love.
Maybe we only projected our repressed needs onto someone else.
Irrepressible Feelings and Reality
Some emotions cannot be suppressed: Sleep, hunger, breathing.
When you try to block them, your body rebels.
True love should have been like that: Irrepressible, a current flowing from nature itself.
But instead of learning love from nature, we chose to learn it from movies, TV shows, and artificial romance.
We Misunderstood Love
Love is not felt only toward a person.
It can be felt toward a tree, an idea, an ideal, a society, even the universe itself.
Because for those who know how to see, love is the purest vibration of existence.
But we narrowed it down.
We imprisoned it in a single face, a single body, a single desire.
That is why we are depleted.
Values That Love Cannot Contain
Without trust, love is fear.
Without loyalty, love is betrayal.
Without knowledge, love is blindness.
Without morality, love is corruption.
Without culture, love is shallowness.
Without self realization, love is dependency.
We exalted love but belittled these values.
And in the end, all that remained of love was an illusion.
Conclusion
When misunderstood, love becomes a chain.
When understood correctly, it becomes a doorway to the universe.
Now ask yourself:
Have you truly experienced love, or have you only been chasing the echoes of your repressed needs?
