The Pursuit of Love

Love is nothing of material worth. The word itself is not tangible unless you were to take it literally. For then in that sense you could find blocks that spell love and prove me wrong. For the sake of the argument, we will deny that. So if love itself has no materialistic worth in our immensely materialistic world, why are so many people in the pursuit of love? Is it because love brings warmth on those chilly winter nights? Someone to cuddle up with in front of an open fire? Or perhaps the idea that love solves everything and dissolves all pain? For it is said that love can heal what modern medicine can not. For if this was the purpose of love could a pet not suffice? Or perhaps love is something deeper. Something in which requires one to give all that they have and not hold themselves back. For love is not giving 50/50, it's giving 100/100. Is love something that can only be completely achieved with a life long commitment? I'm unsure. Do people pursue love for happiness? For surely love leads to happiness. And thus, is the real pursuit here the pursuit of happiness? For if it were, then this will surely lead to insanity and a dreadful life. For it is said that the pursuit of happiness is the source of all unhappiness. So it would be wise to not pursue love because subconsciously one is on the pursuit of happiness and happiness can not be pursued for it merely leads to unhappiness.
