Love is a Fallacy. Fallacy means a false idea or a mistake in reasoning. This is a topic introduced to those people who are taking law. A topic in Logic as well. I’ve read the story “Love is a Fallacy” by Max Schuilman. It was a humorous story with all those twists. Unlike stories with “Love” as one of the basis of its topic, meaning the romantic type of love, the story focuses on love as a kind of fallacy, something that’s not at all that romantic type.
At first I didn’t understand the story because it had so many turns. But as I read through, I’ve understood why “Love is a Fallacy”. Thinking of why it was entitled as such, I read the story again and understood its true meaning. Love was a fallacy for that story because the lead character was thinking that he loved the girl yet it was all for personal reason. He just wanted to have the girl because for him, she was fit to become a lawyer’s wife. He thought that by teaching her fallacies, she could be as smart as he is. But like taking a snake for a pet and eventually you get bitten by it, the woman used all the fallacies taught to her in making excuses that she doesn’t love the guy. Should I say, the main character was someone who wanted to have something just because he was going to become a lawyer and that he was already that smart thinking of outwitting his friend.
I liked the story because it somewhat tells us that love can also be a false idea. Sometimes we think that we love that person yet all we feel is ultimately infatuation. Sometimes, we think that we love that person yet all we feel is ultimately friendship. I mean, what’s the basis for true love? According to my former teacher in English, Madam Manlunas, if you love someone then you are ready to give up everything even your own life just for the sake of the person you love. A very hard and meaning full decision isn’t it? But really, it also makes sense. How could you say you love someone if you’re not ready to risk even your own life? Love is a very mind boggling and heart aching experience. In all that’s happening in our lives, we think of love as the romantic type. Love has all types and kinds. There is the love you feel for a friend. You even risk getting scolded by your teacher just because you want to protect your friend. There is also the love you feel for your parents and relatives. Love really has all types of colors like the rainbow.
Love is a fallacy and that’s what I can say for now. Love doesn’t happen that fast. You need to be hurt, to stumble and you also need to learn how to stand up. Love is a step by step process in which you must learn to value things in the way and you need to take one step at a time so you wouldn’t fall off. The story was somekind of confusing but as you read through, you would understand what the author means when he says “Love is a Fallacy”.
