I wrote this title after reading Paul and June's love story. How they were friends before, fell in love, then were in a relationship for many years before they decided to get married and together. The old fashioned way. It's how things are done, and the way it's been now, through apps is artificial. The fact that your agenda towards the other person is clear, right from the start is a tough game to play, because you don't know what's there when you're starting. People learn, before are figuring themselves out, people change their attitudes and approaches. The current framework for meeting and spending time with people, based on online meetups is sick, it's unnatural, it's anti-social. It does not give anybody the space they need. It's based on mistrust and suspicion, mutual on all sides. It's aimed at creating atomized relationships, not communal bonds, through love and trust and so on.
But what wins, in the end, despite the cynicism, despite the shallow circumstances, is love, and people's affections for each other. The way things are right now, are unsustainable, and they will come to a thundering crash, and everyone will rejoice. Or people will remain bitter, annoyed, fearful zombies. That's not the stable configuration. People don't like being like that all the time.
