like your own freedom, your own interest. hope people can share.
Personally, i think love and sex is only a little bit of life only. There is so much more out there in the world. There is family, friends and own hobbies and as the saying goes, "the world is your oasis"
There are several types of love or like in this world, parental love, the relationship among siblings, friendship.
The love of a mother for a child is strong but not stronger than that between that of a married couple deeply in love.
I definitely hope that I can be loved in a relationship in this lifetime. But if fate proves that I have to remain single in this lifetime, then I accept my fate. If so, I will look for fulfillment in other areas of life by doing whatever I can to contribute to my own individual well-being and the society, in the limited ways I can. Perhaps, after I have grown old till a certain age, I will become a full-time volunteer as by then, I will have savings to let me live on till death.
