Are you kidding me? I think you're spot on. How many times in pop culture do we show people finding their "soul mate" who go off with endless passion... pffft.
The reality is that, by nature, each of us, men and women, are intrinsically selfish to our very core. It is the one reason why porn is so appealing. Men can gratify themselves without any effort or investment whatsoever. And women demand to be catered to and endlessly treated like the jewel of the Nile.
The reality is that men and women must learn to overcome their overwhelming and innate to be selfish. This is what our parents teach us as kids as we learn to socialize. Modern liberalism has told us (incorrectly) that we can have it all! Do you see the selfishness in that? Do you see in that statement the idea that there is no need for self sacrifice?
In reality, only God can truly change the wicked hearts of men and women.
“The reality is that men and women must learn to overcome their overwhelming and innate to be selfish.”
It’s an ongoing struggle till death.
“This is what our parents teach us as kids as we learn to socialize. Modern liberalism has told us (incorrectly) that we can have it all! Do you see the selfishness in that? Do you see in that statement the idea that there is no need for self sacrifice?”
And if they don’t get it all and aren’t happy 24/7, it’s “society’s fault” and they’re “entitled” to a resolution from the government.
“In reality, only God can truly change the wicked hearts of men and women.”
Amen.

“And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”
