The world seemingly NEVER tires of laying out its equation of man + woman = supreme happiness as long as they both shall live.
In other words, the world celebrates ENDLESSLY the notion of ROMANCE and romantic love.
And the world uses ALL of its many components to pound this message ON A DAILY BASIS into the heads of ALL who listen. Music, movies, TV shows, books, pithy sayings, advertisements for diamonds and diamond rings: all are used to further the notion among the masses that ROMANTIC LOVE rules the modern roost.
We read, in the history books, that ‘arranged marriages‘ were once the way our ancestors did things BEFORE the avalanche of ROMANTIC LOVE began to fall. Folks from that era seemed to genuinely fond of their lifemates when those partners were CHOSEN by their parents.
WHY then, all of this non-stop chatter about ROMANCE?
IF it is like any other NON-TRUE assertion that the world makes, it require a never-ending PROPAGANDA CAMPAIGN to make it seem ‘real.’ And–as readers of ETPR are aware–propaganda requires REPETITION.
GOOD propaganda requires ENDLESS repetition.

But, what about Doris and Bob next door who tell their stories of meeting and falling head-over-heels in love?
Are those tales not true?
Well, OFTEN folks will spin a story which puts them in a good light. Unfortunately, the truth of the matter OFTEN gets bent beyond recognition (due to being relentlessly hammered into place by the STORY being told).
ROMANTIC LOVE is a fallacy.
ROMANTIC LOVE is something that is EXPECTED of those about to engage in modern romance.
ROMANTIC LOVE–like so much the world offers–is more about the STORY and less about the facts of the matter.
VALENTINE’S DAY is tomorrow.
And what modern holiday celebrates the IDEA of ROMANCE more than Valentine’s Day?
Oh, some indiscreet teens will attempt to spoil the ROMANCE party by pointing out that “Their boyfriend WILL have a new truck!”
But MOSTLY, other folks just consider these words to be by the unenlightened. So, their claims are largely ignored by the rest of the population.
Let Valentine’s Day 2023 mark the day that the reader left behind his mistaken ideas of ROMANCE.
Let Valentine’s Day 2023 mark the day the reader began to treat his relationships as he treats the oil changes for his vehicle: something that MUST be thought of and thought of CLEARLY.
MODERN LOVE makes such a good, heart-warming story, it’s hard NOT to believe it.
HOWEVER, on Valentine’s Day 2023, the reader would do well to remember that the ONLY true love these days seems to be between a person and himself.
Tales of ROMANTIC LOVE are just that: tales and stories and narratives that snare the weak-minded.
HOPEFULLY, the reader will AVOID such nonsense and live out a happy, contented, fulfilled life.
WHAT does the reader think about love?
DOES what the reader think and what the reader see, differ?
WHY does the reader think this is?
It is not YET too late–although time is surely running out: there is still a LITTLE time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
—1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
