Do you want to fall in love? Great! What about falling in love with a ‘cause’. It is  much more fulfilling than falling in love with a person. Why? Here are my five cents.

1. It cannot be unrequited. Rather it may be exponentially requited. You give in some time and effort to the relationship, and what you receive is way much higher. Your love will just increase over time and your cause will be loving you hundred times over.

2. No loyalty issues. Your ‘cause’ will not feel bad if you take up another cause and work on it. Rather your ‘cause’ may feel that you are able to see the bigger picture and are able to connect multiple things. ‘Cause’ is happy. You are happy.

3. No jealousy. Imagine seeing hundreds of men falling in love with your girlfriend and trying to woo her all the time. That’s a restless feeling, right? Not when you are in love with a ’cause’. You may see thousands of men falling in love with her and just feel better with every man trying to woo her. Cause’s love is infinite and so is its need. And your jealousy is zero. Rather you would advocate for more men and women to fall in love with your ‘cause’ and impress her every single day.

4. No guilt feeling on breaking up. Imagine a girl who you know and have loved you for years and you suddenly realize it does not feel ‘right anymore’. Imagine the pain of raising the point to your girlfriend. Tears, fights and an endless chain of emotional bickering will ensue. Not with ‘Cause’. She understands and she can let go easily. What’s more important is (as said in the previous point) you know that there are thousands taking care of her already. So your absence is of no celestial consequence.

5. Meet more people through your cause. Can you ever imagine your girlfriend introducing you to more girls whom you can look at as a future proposition? Never! But ‘Cause’ will inevitably bring people closer together. Passion for a cause usually results in passionate people falling passionately in love with each other. You know what I mean. Nothing connects people more than a ‘cause’- it has been the age old wisdom. That’s why politicians sow dreams and organizations manufacture vision statements. And you, my dear, is already having a win-win situation with this love. 

So ditch the trouble of finding the right girl. Find a ‘cause’. Fall in love with it. You will never have a frown-day in your life.
