All I need is love? Really? From Spain with love

Romantic love is a self destructive feeling, a kind of chemical reaction in our body caused because of the presence or the physical perception of other person, it makes to feel you inferior to this person and focus yourself only in the challenge of “catching” this person. When time passes by this feeling tend to vanish, and a terrific feeling of repentance about all the fool things you did come to your head. Romantic movement was based in people that most of the times commit suicide because of being frustrated of haven’t been able to reach the goal or, even, being injured by others because of the blindness that this chemical reaction causes.

Familiar love is a mixture between genetic predisposition to have a safety group where you can grow up overprotected and a feeling of affection for a group of person that have lived long time at your side. Family is the authentic homeland, and childhood the most special time at your homeland.

In my country many people think that the romantic love is the most important and it justify all. “He is in love” is one of the most common apologies you can hear in Spain. But it is a modern concept fostered by mass media, specially stories from TV and Cinema. In the past there is a lot of refrains about the sufferings of realistic love, and my parents have always educated me about that. Now I base my relationships, both friends and girlfriends in patience and forgiveness, and I use to differentiate between a fun person and a good friend (sometimes are the same)

Media in Spain reflects a society where the romantic love is the most powerful way to reach happiness. But Stories have an end, and life continues. Nobody like to see at television couples without big problems that follow a “boring” life.

Family love is depicted in the most commercial movies as a responsible life within the “american dream”: House, car, job and barbeque at sundays, everybody happy. Romantic love is always the engine of the movies, somebody wants to get somebody and he or she is ready to break up any boundary to reach it. The boundaries are always the family or the society and the couple are heros because they fight against all that the majority of people in real life is not able to do.
