- You don’t need to fall in love with somebody in order to be happy in life. Many people think that they need to fall in love with someone before they can ever be happy in their lives. That’s just a myth. The truth is that your happiness in life is not dependent on someone else! Only you can make yourself (truly) happy.Do most people actually fall in love and live happily ever after? I don’t think so! In fact, many people are living their lives unhappily today because they fell in love (often with the wrong person). Falling in love is similar to narcotics like opium that give you a temporary high, but later on, your “high feeling” of love becomes moderate or may even completely evaporate with time when reality sets in. But the fact is that you can love someone without actually falling or being “in love” with that person.
