This is the one who controls the whole relationship. The one who has the biggest need is like the drug addict the one who has a lesser needs is like the provider. He used to say that most relationships between lovers are just like a relationship between a drug addict and the one who provides the drugs. But what happens when you become highly addicted to love, and you don't receive your daily doses of love? What he said was that love is just like a drug it makes you feel happy, but it creates a strong need. He could speak everywhere, in front of any kind of people, and his logic was very conclusive. He read a lot of books, he went to the best universities, and he became a respected scholar. This man was highly intelligent and he could talk very convincingly. He said that love is nothing for real, and is thus impossible to be found, even though he might be looking for it. Wherever this man went, he used to tell people that love is nothing but an invention of poets and religion, just to manipulate the weak mind of humans, and to gain control over them. Of course, he had tried for a long time to find love, he had observed the people around him, much of his life had been spent searching for love, only to find that love didn't exist. He was an ordinary man, just like you, but what made this man special was his way of thinking: he thought love wouldn't exist.
