Loyalty or Fidelity is a quality that seems to have become quite rare nowadays. These days, boyfriends & girlfriends are changed at the rate clothes are changed divorces are given at the drop of a hat, extra-marital affairs are a common story in every neighbourhood. In the midst of all this, one sits and wonders, "Is this what relationships are all about? Is this the reason teens go all out to woo someone they like, just to dump them the next week? Is this the reason people get married, just to break the spirit, and body of the bride who comes expecting to be loved, cared and to find someone to love in return?"
Nowadays, the day of 'my one true love' is gone. It's 'my many true loves' now.Greater the number of girlfriends/boyfriends you have, cooler you are. And obviously you have to sleep with every one of them. People have forgotten that betrayal gives you a wound that does not heal with time for most, and even for others, the scars are always there to remind them of the pain.
There is a Hindi song 'Ehsaan' which goes on as follows "Ehsaan itna sa kar de, mujhe phir tanha sa kar de" which mean 'Do me this one favour, make me lonely once again'. Turning the famous adage on it's head, I say
' Tis better not to have loved than to have loved and lost'.
