How real is love? 
How true are our emotions to our actual desires? 
Or are our desires created by our emotions? 
 
Addicts of love. 
It seems that we all are. 
We have to be. 

Companionship. 
Darwin screaming in our ears.
“It is predetermined for you!” 
 
What can we love? 
What are we allowed to love compared to what we do love? 
What makes us love someone... or something?
 
And we are all fake. 
You must never forget.
Robots bound by our own laws. but don’t fret, fake is real.
 
A life is valueless since it was never yours in the first place.
You stole it.
Do you hear?
 
We do not own ourselves. 
We can but it seems we refuse.
Scared to say the least.
 
We live to what we need.
And oh my, do we need love.
So powerful, until it is not.
 
I suppose that is a human.
A need.
“Survive!” There he goes screaming again.
 
And if it is just a need.
Fueled by the chemicals dancing in our brains.
Are we not addicts?
 
Heroin is a need for some.
Self-destruction is a need for others.
And love is a need for most.
 
Of course we don’t neeeeed these things.
But as I said.
We do not own ourselves. 
 
So how real is love? 
You know I once saw a TED talk explaining a new product being tested that can make kids taste 
foods differently in order to get them to eat their vegetables.
That was funny.
