What is the worth of love?

Some may place it as an inseparable bond between two individuals who have an insatiable need for each other. Some may also value it higher than what any monetary prize can provide. I have always wondered this for myself: when will I ever be in the situation where I am asking myself this question? Undoubtedly, I can say it is highly unlikely that I will ever be in the same situation as Demi Moore and Woody Harrelson’s characters in the 1993 movie, Indecent Proposal. 

The words of the billionaire in the film, John Cage, played by Robert Redford were exactly “if I had you, I would not share you with anybody.” Just in case you haven’t seen the movie, it’s about a married woman who agrees to have sex with another man for $1 million.

I first heard about this movie in a marketing class, and was eager to watch it soon after. Personally, I value the relationships I build with others more than anything else in the world. Yes, I can live without the creature comforts in life – I never had much to start with. Let’s face it, spending your life among crowds but still feeling empty inside would be terrible! I guess this situation relates to the amounts of wealth had by the billionaire in this movie and the difficulty he faces in having relationships with women who truly have feelings for him. I think of real-life wealthy figures, such as those who go on shows like the Bachelor and the Bachelorette, in hopes of finding someone who they can share true feelings with. As we all know, money is a great tempter, but not a security in relationship terms. Most of the relationships publicized are short-lived, or don’t really exist at all. This topic deeply saddens me because there are some wonderful wealthy people out there, but they can’t find “the one” because anyone will go with them. Take for example, Gurbaksh Chahal, Internet entrepreneur, founder of ClickAgents, BlueLithium and RadiumOne. He is a man of very humble beginnings who turned his passion and drive for achievement into a multi-million dollar empire. The love he expresses for his family is beyond words, and he takes care to keep a positive image in the public eye. Someone of his nature deserves to be living a happy life complete with someone to share it with, yet he probably faces the difficulty of finding someone who wants him for the man behind all the wealth and fame. In a way, this suppresses me from wanting to be anything more than comfortably wealthy, because it leads to this very problem.

Now back to the original question – what is the worth of love? Would you give up your partner for a night? Hopefully the answer is no. Don’t let go of the beautiful relationships that are so difficult to establish! So what if there is the occasional disagreement! Be able to laugh it off and enjoy life. Oh, and make sure you watch Indecent Proposal if you haven’t already!
