"deliruim"

i'm not sure what i'm doing on here. i should be reading "Maze Runner"... i'm almost done with it, but i'm sad for it to end because i'm not sure if i'll be able to purchase book number two of the trilogy. but if you really like the "Hunger Games", read it. It's kind of the apocoloyptic stuff i've gotten into lately. i also read this other book with the good pal McKenna, it's called "Delirium". it's a book about a girl who lives in a society where love is a disease. when someone turns the rightful age of 18 they get a surgery removing part of their brain, the brain the senses feelings. feelings like love. can you imagine this world without love? after these people's surgeries they forget a lot about their past life. they forget the love that they felt whether it was with a friend or an illegal romance. Another thing is these people don't dream. ever. which seems crazy, right? can you imagine this world without love? they classified love as a disease because of the hate it causes within people. they did this because it causes people to commit suicide and to do bad things, that love is what is killing these people. i won't give any details about the book as to not ruin it for you. but it is definitely something to think about.
i definitely think life would be utterly wasted without love. you wouldn't really have anything. sure you end up with someone you are paired up with and are required to have children, but what is the point. you never would really truley love your kids. or your husband. i'm sure the kids would love their parents, but after the surgery they are hardly anything, they are simply who gave the person life. and that seems like nothing! it just gives me gratitude for love, because without it life really would be a waste of time. why on earth would we even be here? and sure, because love does go sour sometimes, which draws people to do silly things. but honestly, there is always someone to love you. always. even though it may seem to be the end of the world because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, your world isn't over. there are plenty of other people that love you as a person. and there are plenty more to find! so why would you let one failure hold you back from dozens and dozens of successes? why not let that failure push you to be even greater? it is really only a failure if you let it be. i'm just kind of venting. sometimes i wish i could take my own advice.
something to think about!
Thanks for reading..

p.s. i suggest reading delirium. other than a cuss word here or there the book is overall really good. i'd give it a 7 out of 10.
