Love Wins
Love - her love in sports, his love in makeup and their love in life.
These loves aren't unnatural, they are loves. Love between all,
sexual love, romantic love, filial love, love of sports or love of life.
The very concept of love is not a human one but the few
commonalities we share with the rest of this world. We are the only
species in the world that has actively sought to suppress and
criminalize love. No ape, no animal, no mammal, no fish nothing
besides us have criminalize love, we are the only species that seeks
comfort by suppressing, we seek destruction and uphold
patriarchal structures that actively fight against the common good
of the people, a system that encourages violence against love and
rewards the concealment of your identity.
Love is truly a beautiful thing, is it not? To be lost in the arms of
others, too clouded by the present to care about your future or
your past. Love is the binding factor between that princess and her
commoner girlfriend. The chains that wrap around a boy and his
knight in shining armour, locking them together for the rest of their
life and beyond.
Why, oh why, I question myself, why is society so hellbent on
suppressing their biggest desires? Is there a secret that I was
somehow not read into? There are no reasons, it is illogical and
irrational to suppress human desires. Let your greed run free and
your desires take control. That is humanity without a filter, then
why is it that there are those who build their lives in favour of
suppression?
I have no answer to my own questions, but instead a solution. Let
them be free. Let the princess meet her love and let that boy live
his life.
