"Love", a term that is used and common in everyday life conversation.
Love can hold a variety of meanings to everyone, some can take it as a romanticised meaning or some pursue it as love towards their friends, family and togetherness, some have love towards the ones close to them but, passed away while, some just love the presence of their care and comfort.
People have this fantastical and magical thought when it comes to love. They have a change of feeling towards love, and as they grow, they face different experiences regarding the same. Finally, they know what it truly means to them.
The meaning can be positive or negative as per the person's interpretation.
But sometimes, it cannot be all glittery or perfect. Consider us blessed who have been raised under the blanket of family's love and pure vivid emotions. Sometimes, these pure emotions could change into toxicity or 'fake' for a person or a child who hasn't known the world properly, yet faces violence around them. The meaning of 'love' for the child changes.
They are trapped under the four walls of toxicity and dark place, where they seem to have no hope.
The child contemplates the meaning of love and finds dark, unpleasant memories rush through their mind. This way, the child's view towards the world changes, either they engulf themselves into toxicity or rather a dark form of love. They suffer from trauma throughout life.
Do they deserve love?
Yes, they do, but they are not capable to find it, unless shown. Here is where society, holds a role of utter importance. People ignore these 'forsaken love' victims, who are seemingly quiet and lonely. They also might bully them which then, intensifies a bad image of the victim who has already been suffering too much in their life.
Due to the lack of a healthy environment, the child might turn their received hate into abuse they want to give to people, just for derived satisfaction from 'innocent' pain.
The psychopath behaviour was also seen in a renowned criminal 'The Night Stalker', as he was abused since his childhood, his aunt and uncle adopted him but instead of giving him better exposure, they intensified and encouraged him to perform actions that are a threat to the society.
The brutal murders he performed were all over the news and the fear he brought on the city is how he could get satisfaction from it.
If he could've gotten a healthy environment, he would've been a humble person in life but the people around him took that away from him.
Turning his life upside-down on point, where they lived a tragic life.
As a child, 'Love is said to be shiny, bright and of a flowery kind.
In the view of the world, a minor percentage of people face the brutal and dark side of love for a long enough time to get traumatised, leaving a mental impact on them.
Maybe, we are fed with a very common meaning of love. Maybe, love isn't rather just an illusion of thoughts or just exists in the storybooks.
All of it is dependent on the perspective and your life experiences.
