Author’s remarks:
It’s both a safe bet and a massive understatement too to say that significant numbers of individuals globally who either knowingly or else unintentionally but all the same pleasurably get caught up in a one-to-one personal and emotional relationship with another person, normally, if not always initially to start with, expect from their mutual association with each other the kind of enlivening, heartening and reassuring satisfaction commensurate, they feel, imperative to achieve and would therefore like to unrestrictedly realize from voluntarily engaging both empathetically and intimately with that specific and exceptionally special person on whom they’re completely depending on to fulfil their innermost and even undisclosed expectations.
Wishful thinking on the part of some who would earnestly like for these deeply felt and often treasured expectations to be endorsed and fulfilled, in the process of this happening, through the mechanisms of this entirely new, propitious and decidedly intimate association that, as things stand, both individuals are beneficially having. That said though, appearances can often be unreliable in the perception they convey, and in the worst case scenario be cruelly deceiving to those who invest their complete trust and immense time and effort in them.
Then there are those who have no compunction whatsoever in cynically or callously exploiting the touching faith placed in them by others for their own perverse ends, and doing so regardless of the psychological harm they occasion to those who’re involved and intentionally put on the receiving end of their heartlessness as well as their endemic selfishness. But, of course, none of this is ever going to stop people from falling in love or speculatively hoping that things turn out as they would like for them to be; as love isn’t just a romantic experimentation it can also be a mug’s game, and which category you let yourself fall into is, I’m afraid, a matter that’s totally up to you and I would presume of your own choosing. And if not, it’s too complex a pursuit, which honestly you shouldn’t seriously be involved in!
