Love Cannot Conquer all

I am fed up with stories about Rihanna and that boyfriend that treated her like a punching bag. I read today that he said that she is the most beautiful woman in the world, and I ask is that his thoughts from before of after he tenderised her face with his fists. apparently though their love is forever.

Love does not conquer all, it cannot. It cannot heal the bruise from a punch, it cannot heal the hurt caused by cheating and it cannot heal the pain of emotional abuse. I fear though that we are raising a generation of kids that believes it can.

I don't deny that love is important to humans, it is, but romantic love isn't the only love and romantic love may not be the most important love to a person. the unconditional love of pets or children may be more important to some people.

There are many types of love but is suffering required for love?

I know someone who is in an emotionally abusive relationship. she has always chased emotionally abusive relationships and seems to be of the opinion that if she is not suffering abuse at the hands of who she loves, then she doesn't deserve their love, but does she deserve their punishment?

Women are usually portrayed as the recipients of the abuse, but it is not always the case. many women abuse their partners or abuse laws to exact revenge on their partners. who said we are the fairer sex....

We are shown from a young age through our peers, parents and the media that we are not a valuable person unless we have a partner so many people suffer to be seen as being valued by someone, but isn't it better to be actually valued than just letting others perceived you are valued. what value is the opinion of randoms anyway. who's values matter and shouldn't we value ourselves first.

If one sees the value in themselves as a person, no ones opinion matters. Love can be found when you value yourself, you find someone who values you and someone you value. Love without value is cheap and will last as long as a toy made in China, and I have gone through a few Chinese made toys so I can tell you they don't last long.

We have to set an example for the next generation. we have to show they cheating and abuse is not acceptable because where else are they going to learn it?

I fear we will have a generation of Rihanna's though, how will suffer anything so they can conform to a norm that isn't normal

Abuse is not normal.
