Trust in my heart and insecuties in my mind... that's my love. It's the most obvious of causes for the absence of reciprocity. The next obvious lies in the foundation of economics.... which can be applied to many life situations. This theory is known as the "Law of Diminishing Return." It states, in simplistic terms, that the more you experience something... the less effect it has. One might ask how this is to be measured.... the answer is quite simple. When referring to one's emotions.... there are two factors which must be taken in consideration in order to validate the accuracy of this observational experimentation. These two factors are availability and opportunity. Availability is nothing more than the state of being accessible for utilization. Opportunity is a favorible combination of circumstances, time, and place. With this being said, love must be defined. According to the Merriam- Webster Collegiate Dictionary, to love is have "feelings of passion, devotion, or tenderness" for a person. The presence of emotions makes it obvious that love does not strive on availability alone..... availability is boring and has no value when compared to opportunity. Opportunity, however, is renewed with the rising of the sun and provides the means for advancement. Opportunity is the root of love. Without the favorable combination if circumstance, time, and place, an encounter between two potential lovers is impossible. Why people cheat has been pondered by many for quite sometime. Reasoning is gender-related.

Men who already have a willing partner cheat because it is opportunistic.... the women in their lives neglect to meet their needs and become a symbol of availability. They are present but have grown to serve no other purpose. Willingness to perform sexually becomes obsolete. It can be expressed in mathematical terms as the following equation:

too much sex = less value = boredom + the desire for change

Women, on the other hand, cheat for different reasons. They experience an emotional void which leads to their desire for change.

The greatest common factor in this vicious cycle is neglect. One partner fails to meet the other's needs. The mistake lies in a desperate attempt to end the cycle after the cheating has already occured. Ending the cycle is often confused with breaking up the relationship. The key to ending the cycle is to maintain a mutual interest in each other. This can be done by preventing the loss of opportunity. Opportunity is unpredictable and mysterious. It can be shown in more ways than one... but the most obvious of ways is to understand a man or woman for what they are rather than what you desire them to be. Allow them to be who they are... with or without you. When this is done, unconditional love is shown and can develop into a successful relationship as well as a mutual infatuation.
