all interesting points here. but we're missing one crucial factor... what is true love? d problem is that there is no universal definition of what "true love" is. similar to d concept of justice, truth, etc... d idea of true love becomes valid insofar as d peron believes it as such. hence, to answer d question why is it difficult to find true love redirects d question to d source. i know of some people who have been in a relationship for decades and we can rightly call it true love. but when one one tries to define it, it might be different from what other folks have in mind... something is true only if u believe in it
