A random chit chat with two of my friends triggered off much thoughts about love.

Interestingly, I talked to them separately and both of them told me this: "If you don't even plan to marry the person, why do you even bother to get into a relationship with him/her." and this sentence actually struck me quite deeply.

When I rebutted that marriage is at least about 7, 8 years down the road and a lot of things can happen within 7, 8 years, I was asked : "If you cannot even survive 7, 8 years with a person, how do you think you can survive the rest of your lifetime with him/her?".

Few years ago, I don't know how many people think this way. But now that my friends around me are meeting with many other problems in their love life, it seems to me that love is not as simple as it seem/sound.

I always felt that maybe we should just try to live life to the fullest now. If you know you truly like the other person, and you know you're happy being with him, shouldn't you give it a try even if the future may look bleak? But everyone around me seemed to think a lot deeper i.e. if they see no future they won't even commit.

I don't know, maybe my meaning of love is too simplified.
