But the more and more we search for what we may not find, we are digging ourselves deeper into our own death. We refuse to see how bad something is until it completely destroys us. As it tears us limb from limb with its vicious hopes of affection, attraction, and adornment we can 't refrain from falling for the sacrilegious ways of love. Yet... Some of us still strive for it and question ourselves of what we did wrong because love has thrown us a curve ball we can not catch. But, no one has done anything wrong. It is love that has done the wrong with its ways of trickery and deceit. Muhamahs Ghandi 's believes that where there is this love, there is life.
