Oh, What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken
I have never been able to understand
the intention of Tina Turner behind singing this song. Why in the world did she call love a second hand emotion when it is nowhere to being second in our minds?
Is it Second hand emotion in the
sense that it can be used for everybody et al. As in, people do use
the word “love” when they want to show their affection to their parents, to
their siblings, friends and ofcourse the girlfriends, boyfriends, spouses and
husbands/wives. So it’s a word that appropriately fits in whenever you want to
show good kind of emotions to any kind of person.
Or is it a second hand emotion
because well… you do “ishq wala love” with multiple people before finally
settling onto that particular one, if you settle at all that is. To describe in
a way that man is polygamous by nature. So there’s first hand love, the second
hand love… and infinitely carrying on the same progression till the last one.
So we have the word “love”= second hand emotion.
Or is it a second hand emotion,
because love is something that can be used and reused, for what, as an excuse?
An excuse for physical intimacy, an excuse for sexual cravings, an excuse for
the weird, lost state of mind, an excuse for cat fights and dog fights, an
excuse to avoid everybody questioning your sanity, or the absence of it
otherwise.
Has the use of word “love” been overdone
to describe all existent teenage problems, the reason for people failing in
making a career. Has it been exploited too much to give a reason for sad days,
depressed nights and stupid suicides? And what when this same word is used to describe the reason behind acid attacks, rapes and infidelity, is it still not misused?
So probably love IS stupid afterall, and probably more so because of all the peer pressure and focus put onto it. So there's this whole Bollywood industry running just because this word exists, and twitter feeding millions and millions of tweets because love exists, or does not. And well, isn't it the reason for this STUPID blog as well?
But again, I ask the question. For all
of the above mentioned
Oh, what's love got to do with it
What's love but a
second hand emotion
