I didn't mean you in particular, we all follow this pattern, otherwise we wouldn't lat ^ ^;

Yeah, I was talking about social darwinism, that's a very sad take on life, all the more since even the top dogs are overthrown at some point, so not even their life has 'value'.

To be fair, "I want my beloved to be happy" is a completely unrealistic trope. Romantic love is extremely primal, possessive and reason-overriding by nature. Only in a story will you see someone graciously give on the one they love, in real-life people fight like dogs over their favorite mating partner ^ ^;
