I've been puzzling for a while about why some people end up alone. What I want more than anything is to be loved, so the knowledge that some people end up alone was terrifying.
I recently have had the idea that some people are not oriented towards love. Love is nice to most everyone, but some people do not place it as their ultimate goal. I think love is one of probably many life orientations. Some people want adventure, some people desire success.
These are all abstract words. To someone seeking love, love is an adventure and to be loved is to be a success. To someone seeking adventure, they are in love with discovery, and to learn a lot is to be successful. To someone seeking success, the thrill of achievement is an adventure, and they are in love with affecting the world.
To someone seeking adventure, falling in love with another person is not essential. It may enhance or deride their experience.
I think people who want love the most will find it. I think people always actualize their life orientation.
