Love conquers all?

I read that statement somewhere some time ago. You know what? That statement seriously sounds more like a big bullshit to me! Here are some questions to ponder upon:

Would you change your mindset, character, lifestyle, image, etc... and become a total alien to your own self to match another person's expectations just because you so-called love him or her?

Would you ditch your parents and family aside, forget about your commitments and obligations as a son or a daughter just to please the so-called loved one?

Would you be happy to be controlled and forced to do something you don't want or don't feel like doing?

Would you exclude yourself from the usual hangouts with close friends and colleagues just to be with the so-called loved one?

Would you pushed the "pause" button to your plans, dreams and ambitions, whatever you want just because of ONE particular person?

Would you go against your personal principles and values, straying away from your spiritual beliefs just to please your other half?

Personally, it's not wrong to fall in love but if loving someone requires you to stray away from your true self, to leave your family, friends, jobs, hobbies, et cetera, I tell you...it is not worth your time. Sacrifice or not, love is not everything. There's more to life than just love itself. Move on. Get a life.
