Day 354: Why romanticize cheating?

This generation has become hopeless romantic to the extent that cheating is romanticized. Sadly, we live in a time where cheating is tolerated while loyalty is laughed upon.  Cheaters are even praised as if lovers are trophy to be collected. Their actions, no matter how destructive, are even defended by some. They are justified to the extent that the victim should feel bad for being cheated upon. It's as if it is your fault that you are never enough for that person. 

Stop romanticizing an act that shows no love in the first place. If you really want that other person, have the decency to break up first rather than "loving" them at the same time. It never works, even kings who did that fell down at one point, so what can one peasant like you do?

I guess this desperate search for love for some became a playground for cheaters. Some were desperate enough to take people who are already taken. Desperation for love has been prominent to the extent that most wishes for more than one lover. 

People sometimes argue that we have no control over our feelings, in justifying those cheater. Though that is true, we may have no control over our feeling, but we have full control of our actions. Feelings was never an excuse for cheating. Since actions can be controlled and it is you who moved voluntarily towards another person and away from the one who loves you first. It is a matter of choice to act upon those feelings so in a sense, cheating is always linked to a person's action and is done voluntarily.

Never romanticize cheating. Just imagine the pain that the one being cheated upon. If you were being cheated upon and cheating will never make you powerful. Cheating just puts you in a position when you can lose one person while being at risk of losing love for a lifetime. 

My only wish for those cheated upon is that they never grow tired of being in love. I wish that they still have the courage to love again despite being cheated upon. And for the cheaters, they'll get the same feeling sooner or later.
