Many people have lost the true meaning of love. Love is a very important part of one's life, and if there is
uncertainty, it should not be pursued. Thus, the true meaning of love is to be in a complete and total
bond with each other also care for each other when others flee. While many people try to achieve love in
other ways, such as seeking financial support or having someone to support them in ways that they
should do on their own, is not the true meaning of love. Hence, the ideas stated in the last sentence
would help relationships but would blur the overall meaning of love.
In addition, many people have looked for love in the wrong places. Therefore, one must find a
person to care for one in the darkest days to fully understand the true meaning of love because the true
meaning of love is as not as easily achievable, because of that, some people will settle for less. In
conclusion, true love will make one happy above all other aspects of life. The struggle to find one's
perfect match is worth it in the end. In this reason most people will settle for living a mediocre life with an
average person instead of seeking the true meaning of love.
