Stop blaming love

I keep hearing this everywhere...."Love Hurts" followed by a deep sigh. My friends keep saying it, read any article on break up and its titled so, and I hear it in movies, song lyrics... Everywhere!!! This lead me in to a bit of contemplation. "Does love really hurt?" Not really. All you people, who blame love for your pain, think for a moment. Isn't it your beloved who hurts you? (S)He forgot to wish you for a birthday. (S)He left you for you for your best friend. (S)He didn't let you know that (s)he is going out of town. (S)He yelled at you when you went with your friend from the opposite sex for lunch. When its him/her who does all these, why do all of us keep blaming love? Love is an enchanting feeling that puts two people together and teaches them how accept each other inspite of their differences. I ardently feel that, love, in truth, heals wounds. The love (s)he showers on you, will make you forget your tensions and sorrows. When
(s)he overwhelms you with flowers and chocolates, accompanies you for movies.. etc., you squeak," (S)he's sooooooooooo sweet... (S)he loves me so much...". Do you ever say, " love is so sweet"? But, when you are hurt, you berate love.. Next time, you utter the platitude, "Love hurts", do chew over this... Its not love that causes traumas. Its Tom. Its Amanda. Its Roshan. Its Ria. Its Murugan. Its Lakshmi. Its that person you are madly in love with.
