I have a daily habit as every international student does, finding something to play on the screen while having dinner or lunch.
The show today was discussing about food additive. At the end of the show, a person said, "Nowadays the purpose of eating for Hong Kong people has changed. They are not trying to get any nutrition from eating, they just want to satisfy their taste bud."
When I heard this statement, my brain automatically linked it to the majority's attitude towards love nowadays. I think most people believe that the purpose of being into a relationship is that we want to get a certain amount of happiness. In this materialistic world, money becomes the "food addictive", we can randomly pick a person and add certain amount of chemicals ( going to have good foods, buying expensive clothes), "happiness" can be created. And a lot of people think this is love. (your bf would pay you for a LV bag, bring you to have a buffet dinner in four seasons)
The meaning of love is being modified wrongly.
Food additive makes a chicken become a beef, allow you to taste the best taste of food ever. However, there is no nutrition at all. Are we still eating "food"? Additive can improve a relationship sometimes for no doubt but it just too much nowadays. A relationship with real love no doubt can make you happy but it drives you exhausting, frustrating and paranoid too. Without these we are just having a relationship which fill up with addictive. It's not love.
For decades, the meaning of love has never changed. The only change is our value towards love, making ourselves easier to achieve it. It is kind of a escapism, love won't exist in this way still. The meaning of love is simple, but to achieve it is difficult ever.
