"I'm Hungry..."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bfx7izBNHeI

This clip above shows clips from an episode of the hit television series, Seinfeld. In this episode, George tries to tell his girlfriend that he loves her.

This episode is poking fun at modern society and their fears of commitment, love, and settling down. Relationships tend to end because of one person or the other and their fears of committing to someone else. So when George conquers that fear, he hits another road block, she doesn't feel exactly the same way.

Modern society uses the word love in everyday language, such as "I love pizza" or "I love that new shirt you are wearing," but when it really counts, it is hard to get past the teeth.

We are afraid to say "I love you" because we are afraid of what it will do to relationships. Commitment is a fear just like a fear of heights or rats. And unfortunately, everyone is too selfish to commit anyway. We are scared of what another person would do to add 'clutter' to our lives.

Love these days has a very negative connotation. When you love someone, you do things for them, right?

Doing things = Work. Work is bad.

Sorry, but love songs don't make young ones 'oooo' and 'ahhh' like they used to.
