Love is an emotion we have no control or agency over, and I think it's dangerously naive to think that anyone can be completely satisfied by an emotion they have no control or agency over. People as *individuals* are defined by our *individual* choices, and since love isn't an individual choice I don't think I'd feel like I was being true to myself if I ignored my individual thoughts in favour of reactionary love. That's not to say love isn't beautiful, but love isn't true if you have to turn your brain off and turn a blind eye to the problems that stop you as an individual living the life you want.
