Yes, that too. But there is love for the children, love for parents, love for pets...lots of love. Some people who were in lust find themselves in love one day.

I think love does exists. All the things you see shouldn't make you believe any less in love. A lot of the times we can't seem to love ourselves so we settle for what we think we deserve. If you can't love yourself no one really can either, that's what's wrong. And yes, everyone is looking for reassurance by Facebook likes and things like that. But that doesn't classify what it is to love.

It exists, regardless of those who will not, or cannot feel it. It is a constant, outside of the radius of a solipsist's periphery.

One can find hope and comfort in the strangest of places...

in the matter of speaking of love i believe it exists but the type of love you are speaking of may be just like a endangered species not much of it left and the more people that don't care about it kill it and one day will be the complete end of "Love"

At one point in life I didn't believe in love until my mother met my now dad. My father looks at my mother in a way no one else does and he does anything in his power to make sure my mother and my sisters are happy.

I think this generation is like any other generation the last 1k+ years before. Humans haven't changed on a profound, evolutionary level in that short time period. What you are decrying has always been there, just read classic books and see how bad many of the characters are. It's just that today attention seekers have a platform that hasn't been there before and that makes them more visible - the internet. There's also a big fallacy at play. Most people are decent and are actually looking for "real love" or whatever you call it, but they are not nearly as active only as the narcissists who are here to present themselves and to sell tea on instagram or something like that. In other words - good or bad, humans have always been terrible, we are evolutionary creatures and evolution doesn't really produce niceness and honesty. Still wishing everyone a nice day :P

Love exists. You only need to strike it lucky. That's all.

truth is cold.

The world is larger than you can imagine... Love is still prevalent. If you are seeing more negative than positive it's most likely because you are in a negative state, which is what the initial post is as I read it. If you work on maintaining a positive state, you will begin to see and experience more positive.
