These tragic love stories

Most likely you've already heard or read one yourself. Typically it starts with either a girl or a boy in love with someone and unable to tell what he/she feels then the object of affection dies and everyone finds out the object of affection also felt the same about the person.

There are other variations though. There is also one about a lover sacrificing something for the other without the other knowing about it until its too late.

Whatever variation you may have read or heard, they all have one thing in common. SOMEONE DIES IN THE END and everyone gets a brokenheart. Invariably though, i always notice that the comments are all the same: "sweet!".

It makes me wonder, does a love story have to be tragic to be sweet? And why do people love tragic love stories? Should we blame it to Romeo and Juliet for starting the trend?

Yes, I get the gist. We will do everything for that one person we love even if it means sacrificing our lives. Yes, in a way that would be sweet. But I also think that it's cruel.

Imagine if you are that girl in the story and after going through a life and death operation you woke up and find out that your boyfriend died for you. How would you feel? Will you be happy? I don't think so. It's cruel because for the rest of her life the girl will blame herself for the guy's death. Think about it, you are breathing right now because someone chose to die for you.

Remember that in the story, the guy did not die due to an accident or anything but he died because he chose to donate his heart to the girl. WTF. Can you carry that in your conscience for the rest of your life? I don't think so.

And what about that story where someone has to die before the person finds out that they both feel the same? why do people like that story? I've read several variation of this when I was in HS and once a friend told me, "hey this is a really nice story".

WTF. What is nice about that? It makes you wonder what people really look for in a love story. I mean, is "happy ending" outdated already?

I personally don't think there is anything nice about unrequited love. And i certainly don't think there is anything nice about going your whole life thinking that the one person you secretly cry for at night and wish would be yours feel the same for you and finding out about it when everthing is too late. Like WTH! Are you both blind or dumb?

Seriously. There is nothing romantic about a brokenheart.Tragic love stories are not sweet or nice or romantic. It's simply,tragic.
