Love is such a oppressive ruler that no one can be saved from the ruler.

I have never heard a truer story about love, believe me

It was a pleasure to burn

Napoleon, the most powerful man in the world,

did not receive the deep love he had woven,

the harmony of love.

He received many careless and careless betrayals.

The girl to whom Napoleon wanted to give the entire empire,

the girl did not write a long letter for Napoleon.

Napoleon used to write long letters to this girl.

He even kept a picture in his pocket during the war.

He would kiss that picture from time to time.

Such a powerful man, yet he would go to his wife and ask her

helplessly to write a longer letter so that it wouldn't end so quickly.

But Josephine Bonaparte never wrote that big letter.

Yet she went against the Napoleon family to marry him.

A handsome man, she grew up, a widow with two children,

and she married him, loving him like crazy.

But while Napoleon was in Egypt, Josephine cheated on Napoleon.

She got involved in an affair with the general.

There was a line in the book Fahrenheit 451,

It was a pleasure to burn.

Although the context is different,

the thought of love is bound to come to mind as soon as you read this line.

There is no greater joy in this world than love,

and there is probably no greater pain than love.

The biggest blind spot in love is that

you can choose who you love or don't love.

But who will love or don't love you is not in your hands.

Love is a business in this world where you will keep pouring it in,

even if all your emotional investments go to waste.

Love is the only game in the world where even if you are certain to lose,

you do not want to leave the field.

Instead, you want to play a little more like a shameless person.

An African proverb says that,

“love is such a tyrant that no one can escape from his hands”.

"I have never heard a truer story about love, believe me."
