immortality

I have discussed this with lots of my friends. what makes love immortal. If you go by famous authors they will tell you tragedy. According to them love lasts for a very brief period of time. One week , One month, maximum one year. After that it's completely different story. They say if love ends up being together forever(I really don't think this word can have a usage where it's meaning is justified!! well you can always use this one - "nothing lasts forever" ) it's soon goes extinct. And they really have strong logic. Think about all so called eternal love stories - from Romeo Juliet to our very own Krishna Radha they all have tragic ending. We remember them because they make us think what if or how this can be different!! frankly speaking that's why making a superhit tragic movie is lot easier because tragedy lingers on. When I was in +2 after reading too much of tragic novels I was so attracted towards tragic ending I even at some point of time thought if I love someone a lot she should leave me so that my love for her never ever goes away. But biggest tragedy is none of these authors actually mentioned the after effects of that or may be I didn't gave much importance to those after effects when I read them.

If you are wondering why I am suddenly talking so much about love well I just watched 'The notebook'. If you like romantic movies I would suggest go see this one.
I am adding few quotes from this movie ... just to read them again in future
-----------
Young Allie: You arrogant son of a bitch.
Young Noah: Would you just stay with me?
Young Allie: Stay with you? What for? Look at us, we're already fightin'
Young Noah: Well that's what we do, we fight... You tell me when I am being an arrogant son of a bitch and I tell you when you are a pain in the ass. Which you are, 99% of the time. I'm not afraid to hurt your feelings. You have like a 2 second rebound rate, then you're back doing the next pain-in-the-ass thing.
Young Allie: So what?
Young Noah: So it's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, for ever, you and me, every day. Will you do something for me, please? Just picture your life for me? 30 years from now, 40 years from now? What's it look like? If it's with him, go. Go! I lost you once, I think I can do it again. If I thought that's what you really wanted. But don't you take the easy way out.

--------

Young Noah: My Dearest Allie. I couldn't sleep last night because I know that it's over between us. I'm not bitter anymore, because I know that what we had was real. And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I'll smile at you with joy and remember how we spent the summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds, and that's what you've given me. That's what I hope to give to you forever. I love you. I'll be seeing you. Noah

PS: the quotes are not related to my personal opinion or feeling, they sounded nice in the movie.
