Short Meditation on "Unrequited Love" pt. 1

Unrequited love is a dumb idea. Either you are loved reciprocally, or you are not. When you are not, how can you continue to feel love toward that which does not love back? Unrequited love implies spending a lot of time on this. I can understand in brief episodes having feelings (we'll call them "love") that are not returned reciprocally.

I think people that experience "unrequited love" don't want to actually be loved. Loving in an unrequited manner takes away your responsibility to be a decent, lovable human being. It is easier that way, but then your life isn't really based on anything. If that's OK with you.

I am bad at keeping my plants alive. But I'm doing better. I'm also mowing the lawn more regularly and it looks better than last year. I am shaving more often, also.

I think it might be kind of neat to fall in love, but I'm not sure if I can do that because of the increasing populations of raging hordes of robots on reality television. I mean, how can you know? Really.
