If love means being given up.... (for a "better" life)*?

love is nothing but something we have made up to make our lives special when really its just attraction and nothing else , its something that we are shown when we were kids and what we were shown was an illusion , life is not what you think it was when we were kids things change and you need to grow up its like when girls like the colour pink and they still like the colour when they grow up , that because they have not grown up and arwe immature , this applies to love as well , what you thought it was , is not true
