Thanks to film producers and fictional story writers, we have repetitively been bombarded with the notion that love always triumph in the battle between love and money vis-a vis relationship and marriage.
The visual plotline is just like this-a pretty but poor damsel will outrageously reject a mouth-watering offer from a potential rich suitor in favour of a pauper, who is quite handsome in most cases. In the end they will defy all odds and be together, and in the language of these creative writers, the pair “live happily ever after” aptly made possible by the pulsating love they share for each other.
This propaganda has had a gripping effect on many for years now and rather sadly people have not jolted from the fluid imaginary ingenuity of these writers to a practical world where there is staggering contrast between the two worlds.
Love is one word that is difficult to define and it goes beyond the realm of rationalism. Some say is an emotional pleasure we gain from the virtue we perceive in others. In my own words it is such a stunning feeling that embodies the most pleasurable abstract entity on earth.
People are living in a denial that the 21st century world is a ‘kpa kpa kpa movement’. In a world that has evolved and human beings tend to adapt to meet the requirements of abrasive challenges every single day presents, it has become essential to view this age long falsifiable mantra that love is better than money.
