To Young for Love?

I was once told that people my age were too young to know true love. That when we got older we would see the truth. I think that's a load of bull shit. While it may be true that in comparison i'm younger and more inexperienced then a lot of people, that doesn't mean that I'm not mature enough to apprieciate love for what it is.
That statement got me thinking about life and all that. I came up with a theory while I was at it: it isn't that we can't be in love at this age, it's that we treat love differently then people who are older. As you get age, you start to take everyday things for granted (such as breathing, eatting, or sleeping). What if this could also be true about not so everyday things? I think that it's just that older people have started taking love for granted. They've stopped apprieciating it as much as they should. When you're young you both want and fear love. It's something new and exciting but after a while of being in love it looses its new and shiny apeal that it once had. People start to just take it for granted since it's always there and they loose their respect for it.
For those of you that have been reading this and saying something along the lines of "This is stupid", I have a challenge for you. Go find a young new couple then go find a married couple and see who looks happier. For those of you that have read this and agree with everything I've discussed then I have a challenge for you as well: try living by my philosophy for a while. My philosophy is as such: "Life leads to beauty, beauty leads to art, art leads to life." If you can live by that then your life will be a lot richer and you wont take things for granted.
