Cynicism? Nah! It's a good thing to be aware about. It's actually an essential thing to be aware about. A lot of people these days seem to suffer from shortage of love, whatever that means. And the sooner they realize that finding love won't end their angst, the better they are.
Let me elaborate. I keep coming across people, who say they have everything, but not a person who truly loves them. They are miserable, despite all the blessings they have. A lot of them enter into bad relationships because they feel they can't live alone. Then, they suffer more precisely because of that relationship.
A couple of bitter truths. Very few people find true love. Very few. There is a theory out there that everybody has a soulmate somewhere around. It might very well be true. But the physical limitations of time and space prevent us from meeting everybody and finding out if they are truly for us.
So, eventually, a minority of us find that "soulmate." Others compromise with what they get. Some can stay happy that way. Some can't. The point remains that most of us don't get what we want or even become what we want to become.
An advice to the miserable lot. A bad relationship is worse than not having any relationship. Also, one can lead a contented life without having a "soulmate." I am not saying that the search should stop. Do keep your eyes open, but don't stay sad and depressed until you find him or her. You are not doing good to anybody, especially yourself.
If you think this is easier said than done, remember the time when you were a child. Getting up every morning was exciting. You couldn't wait to go out and explore the world. You probably never even knew you needed a "soulmate" to be happy. There weren't any pre-conditions for you to be happy then. There are none even now.
