Search Results: what does he mean when he says

When I say animalistic love, I don't mean love with no restraints. I mean love where you will NEVER be happy unless you spend the rest of your days with the object of that love, and being loved back. The type of love where really it isn't even about love anymore, it's about obsession.

That doesn't sound amazing, right? But wait, isn't that what many wildly successfulromance movies and novels are about?

One perfect example is The Tearsmith. This movie focuses on two orphans who fall in love. But the boy falls in love almost a decade before she does, and during that decade he is destroyed internally while trying to control his obsession with her. The Tearsmith ranked #2 in the world for 3 consecutive days.

I understand how it can be a confidence booster/romantic for someone care about you so much, but in my mind obsession is incredibly detrimental to the well-being of the Giver AND the Receiver. Obsession can lead to physical, mental, and emotional abuse against the Receiver and anyone who stands between the Receiver and the Giver. Obsession destroys all parties.

So, what's your opinion?
