Love: Now or Later

Two main writings that came up in this weeks assignments were about love. One writing told of a man who wanted love now, he had no patience to let love grow into true love, and he ended up with nothing. The second writing was about a man that waited too long for love. He did not feel that he expressed his full love for his wife and that he held back some of that love in the process. So he decided that he could not love her as much as he felt she needed to be loved and he leaves her and also has nothing at the end.

These two stories are really the type of stories that make me not enjoy fictional literature. People in real life are always having problems about is this too much or is this not enough, do they or don't they, will they or won't they. Personally, I see these two stories as unnecessary for the benefit of society, if anything I think they bring us down by consuming unnecessary time. Here is my explanation, people are aware of there surroundings and when they make a mistake they can either fix it or walk away. It is that simply and there are millions of degrees in between that are also choices. It all boils down to individual choice.

We need the influence of real life stories in our society today. Too much fiction is floating around and messing with peoples emotions, everything from idealistic television icons to fake reality television. Do we really need to consume ourselves with other peoples love issues. Don't get me wrong people need to talk to each other and learn from each other, but in an authentic manner and not in a scripted, unrealistic manner. I say why continue wasting our time worrying about other peoples fictional issues, why not educate ourselves on pertinent, non-fiction information like history and science and try to progress our selves as a society in a manner that actually makes a difference in the standard of living that we have. I have tried to always tie in real world issues with the fictional writings in my blogs and I know that many authors do that in their writings as well. Thanks for letting me rant about this, I think I may have drifted away from the English love story topic a bit, but I do feel it is important to see reality for what it is and not to fictionalize it. I also see the rants pertinence because education curriculums around the nation are what shapes the minds of the youth. The content in it is very influential to people's lives and the way they process and deal with reality in their own lives.
