Proposing Team - Rebuttal

You reader must be fully aware now that our point is not, just as the opposing team’s, to make an apology of beasty sex, even less orgies, which are lead by the desire of consuming the lover’s body by all means and until one’s animal needs are fully satisfied ; but in the contrary to show that true, reciprocical grown-up love is made of something else. But here is the big illusion, which our poor friends from the opposing side seem to have been fooled by, that is to believe that romantic love is the deepest part of love. In their defense, you dear reader have to bear in mind that Xavier and Guillaume are two naive young men still not very experimented in love. Their mistake doesn’t come from dishonesty, but from lack of experience in what is related to love relationships.
Indeed, as we brought it up in our definition and analysis of love in our opening speech, the physical relation is part of love, but as the very first stage of the relationship between two lovers. Our friends the Gardeners, as they wish to be refered to, seem to have recently got to the second stage, that is the famous romantic love we are talking about. We can only regret that they had to go to Amsterdam to learn from prostitutes and at their expense that money couldn’t buy love. Anyway, what they have still got to discover now is the third and most mature part of love : conjugal love.
But why is romantic love only a stage, for it moves people so much and make hearts beat that fast ? Well, past the purely physical stage, you eventually feel the need to be with your lover all the time, not necessarily to have sex every time you see him/her, but to feel that he/she needs you. Moreover, if you would only make the most of the sex during the first period, you now think in building the relationship, which is a very mature preoccupation, no doubt about that. And on the other hand, it is in the human nature to try to make our wishes come true. And we do so by tainting our love with a sublime color. Nothing is more natural : young men and ladies are still children in the bottom of their souls, and they need dream, mistery, and exaltation. These are the three characteristics of romantic love, according to Dr. Nathaniel Branden, from the California Graduate Institute. This is the reason why romantic love is an illusion created by both lovers to fool both themselves and each other. Again, this is no manipulation nor dishonesty, it is only an automatic behaviour in order to preserve the relationship. Therefore, romantic couples usually feel obligated to recreate every romantic cliché such as the boy offering roses to the girl, going out to have diner in restaurants with candles all around, etc… Un fortunately, this is an illusion.
So what ? Is life nothing but a serie of objective situations, that have no feelings in it, no mistery, no dream ? Well yes it has, and a lot. But it takes time to distinguish the real feelings, from the feelings that are made out of nothing to make our lives look more like a giftcard. And it needs maturity and experience to realise that love doesn’t need to be over-played. Finally, one need to know his/her lover/wife/husband very well and develop a deep complicity with him/her, to enjoy the best part of love that is conjugal love.
So I guess you reader must be convinced that passed the sweet illusion of romantic love is the true love, without any mask nor decorations. Together, let’s help Xavier and Guillaume get to that stage, so that they can finally live happy with their lovers. Vote for us !
