"Love Songs Can Mess You Up!"
"Love Songs Can Mess You Up!"
A Croakersack Article
By

I do not want to burst anyone’s bubble but when it
comes to love, you should not believe everything you
hear in love songs. Here is some Croakersack advice
about love songs. Love songs can mess up your mind!
They are entertainment, nothing more.
Love songs talk about love for “eternity”, and, “forever”,
and, “forever and a day”, and stuff like that. They lead
you to believe “people's love” is everlasting. That it is
the most important thing in the world. That’s not true.
People's love gets tired and old and dies, just like
people. We would like to think it crosses over to the
other side but we cannot count on that. We have no
verified reports of that being true.
A classic example of how love songs can mess up your
mind is in regards to love making. For hundreds and
hundreds of years, love songs, originally love ballads,
have glorified people's love and consequentially love
making. People became confused as to what love
making really is and they remain confused to this day.
What we understand as love making is actually physical
attraction, most of the time. It is actually sexual
attraction, most of the time. It is the sex act. We are
not, in most cases, making love, we are making babies,
or at least doing what was intended to result in making
babies.
Ever heard someone talk about their first love? That is
important. They prove love is not everlasting. Divorces
and separations also prove that point. How can you
really, really love someone one minute and hate their
guts and not want to be with them the next minute?
In order to really love someone (or something), you first
must be able to get along with them (or it).
People have become promiscuous creatures. We move
from one partner to another and sometimes, back
again.
For the most part, people's love is temporary.
Even couples who have been married for years and
years and “say” they are as much in love today as they
were when they first met cannot be honestly believed.
True, some may still be in love in some way but not in
the way they were when they first met. The definition of
that initial love is not the same as the definition of the
final form of that love.
More than likely, when they first met, their love was
tempered, initially, with strong physical attractions,
strong sexual desires. That’s human nature. We were
designed that way to procreate. You should not be
afraid or ashamed to deal with it that way.
First, we look, then, we are attracted. Then we
procreate. Love usually comes after that process has
begun. It usually ends after that process stops being
significant in our lives, as far as its initial definition is
concerned. If love continues from that point on, it is a
different love. Its definition has changed to describe a
different love and even then, it cannot be guaranteed to
endure forever.
Sexual urges die out like all fires! Familiarity, frequency
and availability contribute to that results.
Since sexual urges diminish with time, a thirty year old
love is not the same as it was in the first year or two or
three.
You also should consider who composes love songs.
They are usually written by the young. I have no
problem with that. I was young once, too. They have
not been on this earth long enough to be experts on the
subject. I do have a problem with that.
When they say they will climb the highest mountain or
swim the deepest sea or give up everything for love, do
they really do it? It is a credibility problem. Please do
not take this personally, that’s just fact. How many love
songs can you name were written by older people?
The only love that can prevail and transcend this world
into eternity is “Love of God” and “God’s Love of You”.
That is the only love that can become everlasting
because it is the only love that really counts. God
makes the rules, not people. The rules of love are not
defined in love songs written by people.
Love of God is the most important thing in the world.
People's love just cannot live up to its billing.
That’s my Croakersack opinion.
