So in every movie, book, etc....well good ones at least, there is evil plot twist. Something has to go wrong. It's inevitable. Whether it's a love triangle, the team is failing, or the hero gets a set back....the rise to a joyful ending can't happen without first having the leading character/s go through some drama.
My favorite is and will always be the love triangle. Why? Because watching people become idiots over love is just plain amusing. I want the hero to win, and the underdog to come out on top in the last seconds of the game, but what can be more exhilarating than a guy or gal losing it for love. I mean people do some crazy, crazy things when they are smitten. They stop eating, or eat too, they stop doing their jobs well, or on time (gee don't want to have any surgeries from a heartbroken surgeon). People will risk it all when love goes awry. They fear it will pass them by and they'll end up alone. That's the real issue isn't it? Being alone. It isn't so bad when you have the dream of love still being out there for you, but what if it's not.
You go to school, work really hard, get the perfect job, work that job for years and years till you're right where you want to be and then suddenly....a bomb goes off in your head and you start to think, "Hey, I don't want to be alone forever." You start dating just because you have this perfect time-line in your mind, you know... now that everything else has fallen into place. What you fail to realize is that love is the great crux! It is that arrow to the heart of all you hold dear, your job, your waist line,.. your sanity. Finally finding love means you'll most likely have to make certain compromises in other areas of your life. The best part is...that if the love is real and the intoxication is lasting, you won't care at all. You won't care if you lose all you worked so hard to acquire (well maybe not the waistline). And you will have gained the best thing you've ever known, or will ever experience again.
Enjoy the crazy ride called love. It is worth it!
