*Sigh*- Romeo and Juliet. To so many countless teens they are the symbol of true love. They’re going to hate reading this. Everyone is always saying things like, "He's my Romeo!". I have heard so many people refer to Romeo and Juliet as such an amazing love story. How their "love" is so pure, beautiful, and how everyone wants something that “epic”. People say they strive to be like these two. But here's the thing. It's not love people. Lets be real. It's nothing more than infatuation. Would you like my reasoning? I’ll gladly give it. Romeo, oh Romeo. At the beginning of this so-called "great love story" Romeo "loves" a different girl. Then, as soon as he sees (yes sees, not meets) Juliet, he claims to be in love. Again. Then his mind is instantly changed before he so much as speaks to her. Now, here is where we arrive at the much debated concept of love at first sight. I am telling you, it's a bit ridiculous. I mean, this suggests that love is completely based on physical attraction since all you do is see their outer self. And it’s not even like you're seeing them adopt puppies while feeding the homeless and donating all their old clothes to the poor. That would possibly be a little justified. A little, being the operative phrase. But no, the vast majority of people that claim this occurrence, simply see the person they fall in love with in a normal setting. Now, our couple that is so idolized for their romance, barely get to know each other. Get married. Have sex. And then kill themselves because each one thinks their "true love" is deceased all in a matter of days. How do people not see how ridiculous and impetuous they are? So- forgive me if I think Romeo and Juliet were shallow and naive children. I must be crazy.
Till then, Morgan Paige :)
