A Reaction on Max Schulman's "Love is a Fallacy"

Why is it entitled "Love is a Fallacy"? What really does it mean? I mean what really it implies?

Does it mean that love isn't true?

I read this story and I was really touched. I just imagine that it really hurts. It hurts on the part of the guy. He fall in love with a girl but the girl wants the other guy. Actually it is a love triangle. A love triangle isn't easy for the girl's part especially she don't wants the guys to get hurt. It also hurts for the guy who is denied by the girl. It is really hard being in the love triangle. If the girl doesn't want you, you would do anything just to make the girl love you but some do surrender in order the girl to be happy with the guy he likes. There are two endings in a love tringle, the other guy will be sad and the other guy will be happy. But the sad guy won't feel sad anymore if he sees the girl happy with the guy he likes.

Why do you sacrifies when you really love a person? Even if you are always hurt or you are always down, you feel you are happy because you did sacrifies just because you loved the person. As what I have say, Sacrifices would pay and patience let you wait when will it pay. I believe that there is always a rainbow after a storm.

Let's go back to the story. The story ended with the guy hurt just becuase the girl loved another guy. It so sad for the part of the guy. He did everything just to make the girl fall in love with him but the girl choose another guy and it was his roommate. Ouch! That really hurts! Love really is because of destiny. You can't acquire love if you two are not destined. It's really rare if you change destiny. Oh! I feel sleepy now. Thanks for reading!

Love is a Fallacy by Max Schulman

I was logical, keen and cool.Cool was I and logical. Keen, calculating, perspicacious, acute, and astute—I was all of these. My brain was as powerful as a dynamo, as precise as a chemist's scales, as penetrating as a scalpel.

It is not often that one so young has such a giant intellect.I had a roommate at the university. His name was Petey Bellows. He is a nice fellow but dumb as an ok. He's unstable, emotional and impressionable.

One afternoon I found Petey lying on his bed with an expression of such distress on his face that I immediately diagnosed appendicitis.Then Petey made interruptions of what I am saying. He was saying to me that all of the big men in our campus are wearing them so,Petey must be jealous of these men wearing raccoon coats. But because of his impatient interruption, it really makes me say that he would do anything just for a raccoon coat and he really badly wants it.

My father had had one in his undergraduate days and it lay now in a trunk in the attic back home. It also happened that Petey had something I wanted.

I was a freshman in law school. My desire for this young woman was not emotional in nature. Beautiful, gracious, with manners she was! But what bothers me is that she is not intelligent. But I taught of making her my perfect wife through my learning.

I returned to the campus the next Monday morning bringing the raccoon coat of my father. Petey was so happy to see the raccoon coat. I told him that I would only give him the raccoon coat if he allows Polly and me to go on a date. Few minutes later, he told me that it was a deal. He agreed on what would happen if he accepts the coat.

I had my first date with Polly the following evening.I wanted to find out just how much work I had to do to get her mind up to the standard I required. We had a dinner, watched a movie and brought her back home.

And after a few days, we had our next date. She wanted me to talk more on of the logic but it was already late in the evening when i got to check my watch. I had to bring her back to the girl’s dormitory. Then I went to my room and I saw Petey lying on the bed hugging his raccon coat.

On our next dates, I think that Polly is really the one for me. I want her to be my wife. She really made me impress about the fallace we discussed.Then the time came and I told her that I fell in love with her but she told me that was all a fallacy. She told me she will go with Petey and not with me. I really shouted because of anger and disappointment. I asked her that why did she choose Petey. I asked her for a logical reason. I really asked her why and then she told me it is because of Petey who had a raccoon coat.
