"Love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we are all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to the dust and i know sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and still I am in love with you."
Every time I read this, I experience shivers down my spine due to excitement as well as awe. How true it is for everyone and not just for those suffering from terminal illness. Our existence is short-lived and deriving pleasures by loving beautiful things should be our forth right. This book, "The fault in our stars" is supposedly a love story between 2 terminally ill teenagers. Its about how they want to spend their remaining time on this planet, which is obviously very less. Its about how they connect with each other despite their personal health miseries and be there for each other in atrocious situations.
This is not all about the book. Its not just another cancer story that will make your reading sympathetic. It questions the basic virtue of existence for all humans. You may not be terminally ill but your stay on this planet is short lived too. No one is going to live forever. The term 'forever' is just a farce. There is an incident where people pay tributes at the funeral of one of the lead characters, they happen to use the infamous line of all times, "He was a fighter and he will remain in our hearts forever". No one is forever here, so no one can claim to keep someone in their hearts forever. Whatever time we have, more or less we got to use it to fulfill our wishes, however stupid they might seem.
After reading this, we start believing that atleast for some of us this world is a wish granting factory, where most if not all of our dreams come true. We get to live with our loved ones, be loved and are in a position to love others. What's better pleasure than being loved in this world where we are going to be dusted sooner or later.
