The Essence Of Romance Novels
By E.S. Villamor
Take a very good look at the world where you are living in right now. Just turn on the living room TV and you are instantly bombarded with horrifying events all over the globe. It is rare to hear good news nowadays which is truly saddening. But the human spirit lives on as it grasps hope - hope in miracles, hope in the good of mankind, hope in finding love amidst the tragedies.
Love - here is another word that is so simple (it is spelled with just four letters) yet it is so deep at the same time that many people wander their whole lives trying to understand it. There are those who thought they found love only to realize later on that they have miserably failed. There are also those who are holding on to something that they comprehend as love when, in fact, they right smack in the middle of an abusive relationship. Only a handful seems to have found pure love - but they, too, have tread an uneasy path.
So, yes, the world needs a dose of love stories - successful, happy ones that can temporarily lift mankind's woes. A good love story can put the human brain into work - and the heart, too. Is it not great that the human brain has evolved into a learning mode? When you hear or read a successful love story, the inner you desires to have the same story applied to your life. The human brain searches for similar experiences so it eventually relates to what is being read.
So the question remains - what is the essence of love stories today? Take a trip to a local book shop and find out which stories are being sold by the millions? What makes Nicholas Sparks, Danielle Steele and even Stephenie Meyer coax modern man to read their sappy novels?
It is man's need to escape from the realities of life and his belief in true love. True love exists for some; to some, it is elusive and to a greater number, love is truly challenging. But no matter, man is always searching for happiness in the form of love as every human being craves to be wanted, to be loved. So even when you know that at the end of a novel, you are bound to read - and they lived happily ever after; you still want to read through a romance novel because you enjoy the chemistry of love, you like the thought of a couple overcoming obstacles, and basically just to feel good at the last chapter!
Life without love is futile so whether you experience it in real life or have only read it in books, love, nevertheless matters.
Are you ready to buy your next romance novel yet?
