Love, breakfast, and other meals

This is not my forte, and I haven’t eaten breakfast before. Don’t worry; you'll find out why I said that at the end of this piece. There’s a lot of talk about the future of work and other aspects of life, but there is little talk about the future of love. I know it sounds like a gap in literature, but focus! These days, I picture long distance relationships as remote work. I think the meaning and content of love have been trivialized almost beyond repair. Relax, there’s still hope for you! So, what I see these days is people getting into contracts that they call relationships. The craze over this is becoming unbearable. Even teens are in relationships! I think some people don’t even realize that relationships are technically contracts, and some contracts go south. You could end up on the losing end. So yeah, if your heart is broken at the end of the day, cry (if you’re a lady) or go drink beer (if you’re a guy). I said what I said with my full chest! The post-breakfast period for a lot of people can be traumatic and unproductive. I don’t mean to take matters of the heart with levity, but you should know that sometimes love breaks more than it can fix. Sometimes the person who gives you the world may take it from you. I know someone who started performing poorly at work because she was served breakfast. So yeah, it has a way of affecting your entire being. With what I have seen, I feel like in a few years, every relationship would become mostly transactional. In other words, relationships would be perceived like New Year's resolutions. I do this, you do that, and so on. From here, the idea of love would become vague. If this occurs, the global rate of procreation may be reduced. I'm saying this because people would barely see the need to have children, and if they did, it would probably be one. I also think promiscuity would be normalized, which could cause a spike in cases of STDs and increased abortions. This is because "lust thrives in the absence of commitment". Accordingly, we may have lots of single parents and maybe lots of people involved in vices because of a lack of proper parenting. All of these are partly tied to the contagious "woke" mindset people have. As disjointed as this article may seem, there is an inherent danger in building a society where anything goes and which is devoid of "love." One thing leads to another, and I feel there’d be a chain reaction if something were not put in place. I’m not a preacher of love, but I think the future of love would be quite interesting. I’d like to see your opinion on what "love" would be like in the next 50 years. This wasn't written after breakfast! Learn Unlearn Relearn
