The inherent problem with this is that true love is an ideal that can be considered the embodiment of every single positive thing that can happen actually happening. Various romantic comedies produced by Hollywood all portray characters that at one point or another exhibit tendencies akin to the realization that their life is incomplete without true love and that they should seek it out in the form of female or male character that has been provided as an embodiment of what true love should be.ĭue to the influences of popular culture on modern day society this has resulted in more people believing in the concept of true love and actively seeking it out as a result. What must be understood though is that in recent years the concept of true has been adopted by popular culture as a needed facet in a person’s life. While such an example is archaic it does present itself as an excellent example of the value of true love for other people. For example in the poem “To my Dear and Loving Husband” by Anne Bradstreet she compares her love for her spouse as “more than whole mines of gold or all the riches that the East doth hold” (Bradstreet, 1). In essence it is a self-sacrificing act wherein a person puts another person’s happiness and well-being above their own.
The concept of true love is based on the belief that to truly love someone you have to accept them for who they are (including their shortcoming and faults), put their happiness above your own (even if your heart is broken in the process) and that you will always love them even if they are not by your side.
