It is well-known that everybody dreams to be happy. Nothing can be more fabulous than to fall in love and to be loved! Some people think that love is a creative feeling, while others feel it is destructive.

I personally believe that when people are in love they are as happy as kings. Firstly, love conquers and overwhelms hearts and feelings of lovers, enriches their souls and makes them feel enthusiastic and be in seventh heaven. Secondly, love is a great source of inspiration. It makes people dreamy, inspiring them to create unique works of art: paintings, films, books and other masterpieces. More than that, being in love, people perform magnificent deeds, even glorious acts of bravery.

Contrary to the views above, some skeptics think that love cannot be constructive. They consider that, if love is not mutual, partners can feel blue or become jealous and even aggressive. Besides, love is pain that causes deep suffering and broken hearts.

To a certain extent, it is right, but we shouldn’t underestimate that love helps sweethearts to live a wonderful life full of splendid and unforgettable moments. They become affectionate and tender, romantic and happy. To my mind, the way people behave depends on education and family traditions. Children are to be taught to love and value it. Loving hearts are neither jealous nor aggressive because jealousy means doubt and anger denotes pettiness.

To sum up, despite the opinion of my opponents, I still believe that love opens the gates of happiness.
