I’ve posted before about love, some favourites being here and here. Or just check the tag for all those posts.

I read this article recently which talks about the most important question you need to ask yourself actually. Isn’t happiness the ultimate goal in many forms of us humans? And how can there be any happiness without love?

Everybody wants to have great sex and an awesome relationship — but not everyone is willing to go through the tough communication, the awkward silences, the hurt feelings and the emotional psychodrama to get there. And so they settle. They settle and wonder “What if?” for years and years and until the question morphs from “What if?” into “What for?” And when the lawyers go home and the alimony check is in the mail they say, “What was it all for?” If not for their lowered standards and expectations for themselves 20 years prior, then what for?

Because happiness requires struggle. You can only avoid pain for so long before it comes roaring back to life.
