Reality of Love (REVISION)

As I sat across from a couple that kissed, laughed, and ejoyed each other's presence. I felt a sense of passion in the air. I felt a sense of love that was real. I caught myself wondering how they may have first met. Did they meet one another through friends or did their eye's connect while walking through the mall ? It used to be that we didn't have to search for love; it came naturally amoung us. The strength of love merged our hearts together, creating one without us even knowing. As time passes the Pop Culture trend of reality television has evolved love into a game. A game that consists of competing for one's heart, searching for love that is not real. This is slowing fading away the idea tradition laid out for us; letting the nature of love find us in reality and not allowing reality to search for one's true love.

The television show that caught my attention the most is called " Flavor of Love". This show is the first of many sequels whose main objective is for one who is famous and/or wealthy hunt for love. They gather a group of men or women whom they choose through a shallow interviewing process conducted by producers." Human-matchmaking is involved only in selecting the game contestants-usually for amusement value as opposed to any concern for happiness or compatibility," says A MSN Entertainment reporter Katie Johnson. This supports the point that Pop Culture has altered the perception of what love is supposed to be. So not only are they trying to seek love but the love is made-up and fake. I never thougt that one day I would be able to pick up a remote control that could help control the search for one's soulmate.When I click on the televsion the first thing I see is a message floating across the screen. "Who is more compatible for Flavor Flav ? Send a text message to 1221 for Bubbles or 1211 for New York." Is love really brought apon us by allowing strangers help us choose who's the right one? Love is supposed to be an attraction between two people who decide their own fate.
