From personal experiences I have found that love.... Just doesn't work. It's an ideal that we strive for, but in this day and age it doesn't exist, there are just too many temptations around. People strive for things which are most of the time completely unobtainable.
What you should do instead of trying to get things which are out of your reach, you should appreciate what you have, by happy with your meaningless existance.
The more simple your life, the more you can enjoy it, sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.
