Romance is very animalistic and primitive if you think about it as its basically courtship. The way Gentoo penguins give pebbles to their romantic interests, male ring tailed lemurs have a farting competition for the females, sea slugs sword fight with their genitalia and in a similar way people use things like food, flowers, flattery, to woo their romantic interest to get laid or mate if laid is too crude.

Romance focuses on making the other person feel special, it’s exclusive and this only feeds the other persons ego creating a false sense of joy and in turn feeding one’s own ego as well cause when you have something special you too feel special. The person we pick is the best from the options available in terms of proximity, looks, personality, timing or whatever the criteria may be.

As much as people enjoy this delusion they suffer it even more when it goes away which is inevitable be it in the form of break up, divorce or death and as the special feeling goes away the true pathetic mess becomes evident. This is a gold mine for various industries as musicians can write songs about it, film makers can make a movies out of it and pharmaceutical companies can pass out a bunch of different drugs to cope with it.

People always have some reason for what they think is loving someone or something even if they say that there is no reason cause if there is no reason why will it be restricted for that certain someone or something, one would just overflow with love for everything in this world, no matter of what quality it is as often times people are just interested in some attributes be it taste, looks, personality, others interest in it and whatever other reason that matters to them.

Romantics are not lovers as their so called love fades away when the quality that they were attracted to or the spark as it’s called fades away which is inevitable as everything in this existence is in a state of flux and only what’s true remains.
