Romantic irrationality
Since we are children, we are told that we must find love when we grow up. The idea of dying alone, of not having been able to meet that ideal person, terrifies us. But if we really want to live to the fullest, we ought to figure out where this irrational fear really comes from in order to cease with all those failed romantic adventures that only make our life more burdensome.
To be afraid of never finding your better half means that you can’t be joyous by yourself. You need someone to complement you, to bring you happiness, in other words: to fulfill you. And that’s precisely the root of the problem: we head out for a preposterous journey to meet one person after another so as to not having to deal with our inner voids. Hence, we assume that the human being have this necessity to find true love when in reality it is just a another way to elude your personal struggles, no much different from drug abuse, video game or food addiction.
Until very recently, I too was in this romantic maelstrom. I constantly asked myself why I perpetually felt the need of being with someone, of my love being returned by somebody. Now that I know the reason behind the issue, I can focus on living life to the fullest and finally… Be happy.

Hola. Muy bien. Muchas cosas solo he cambiado para que suene un poco más natural. Eso de "the human being" suena redundante - claro estamos hablando de los humanos.
Me gustó lo que has escrito y estoy de acuerdo.
Saludos desde Córdoba. Simón.

** "The human being has this necessity" is technically correct but it sounds a little bit strange to me. Something like "As humans, we have this necessity" or "The human mind has this necessity" would sound a bit more natural to me. But, as I said, what you wrote is correct so this is just my opinion!
