People's understanding of love is changing, as modernity and practicality influence relationships. Some experience love briefly and move on quickly, taking love lightly as a joke without truly committing. However, love should involve accepting others, making compromises, and sharing good and bad times. While it's acceptable to fall in love more than once, today many seem to date just for status or to avoid being alone, rather than nurturing true love through commitment and special moments that can heal and fulfill a person.
