Only Love's Illusion

"And in the end, we were all just humans...drunk on the idea that love, only love, could heal our brokenness."

- F. Scott Fitzgerald

We, as humans, chase fleeting illusions of love, not the real thing. We seek a device to cure us of our extensive loneliness and pain. However, we look to other people and different substances as our cure. We use and abuse to get what we want -- an illusion of love to cure our pain. True love is selfless, caring, and forgiving. It does not rob, steal, or abuse. We, like all of humanity, are drunk on the idea that the illusion of love, not real love, could heal our brokenness.
