Waste of time...

I was reading someone's post in which they were trying to define love, or telling you how to treat others, sometimes more like how to have a better attitude or how to love your family...for some reason everytime I read such stuff I am annoyed.
I always get annoyed when people use most of those old quotes to define love. I mean come on, love is a feeling towards another person and I always find it worrisome when people try to define human emotion and classify them. If Keats or Shakespeare wrote/portrayed it in a certain way it needn't be the same for everyone else and you should also consider the fact that times have changed.
Every time when some tells us to practice tolerance, how to love others, how to sacrifice and what not, I could for the most part clearly hear the tone of a hyprocrite. Well, I guess I feel this way because in case of the posts I read I do know the real person who's writing such posts.
Well I understand that everyone wants to look good in the eyes of others but the way to do it would be to practice it yourself, in most cases the genuinely nice people never tell others what to do. They mostly take people as they are and just deal with them.
Another important thing to understand is that you can't treat a patient when you don't even know what their illness is. You should also understand that people have been writing out such posts forever so you don't really have to go ahead copy and paste those...instead just practice what you preach. If you analyze yourself and post about it that would atleast encourage the reader to look at themselves.
Well, honestly its good to think nicely of ourselves but in reality when most people think you are a fool, I think you are better off trying to see if there really is something wrong with you than simply walking around thinking that you are the greatest.
I really wish people's education taught them how not to be shallow and go around writing such stuff and instead just be good and do their part.

Oh! Come on Reckha, don't be too hard on them. I too like talking about love very much and most people around me listen and believe me because they know the type of love i have for Noela (my Fiancee). If I write about love and you don't really the individual behind the post, how would you judge that?
It is true love is a feeling, and no two feelings can ever be the same. Yet, we can be able to identify it in everyone's case.
