"Love doesn't make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride
worthwhile."

The above quotation is by Franklin P. Jones, an American businessman. Apart from that, I don't really know much about him. But what I know is, is that I love that quotation.

I can't remember where I've read that quotation from.. but it's stucked with me since. The cliched idea that love makes the world go round is just so wrong. In this world, this materialistic, dog-eat-dog world.. it's more like money and power that makes the world go round.

However, I can't deny how wonderful love feels. Not just love for a lover, but for family and friends as well. Love is what gets you through the pain, the arguments, the cutting words. The world doesn't end when love ends, even if it might feels so. It burns us, sometimes even scars us.. but in the end, it's okay. Because through all that pain and sorrow and tears, you've experienced the most wonderful and ecstatic feeling in the world.

And that feeling.. is LOVE.
