Romance vs Educational Genre

  • The romance or love genre is the most read genre in the world whereas educational books take place in the third or fourth rank.
  • The most popular educational books are those which are related to finance, businesses, and the success of mankind.
  • According to a report of an official, mostly startups and enterprises fall within their first five years in which a
    great amount spill in the first year.
  • The success rate of love and relationships is even less than the startup.
  • More people died due to suicide than the terror attacks says Times of India.

Now, after reading the facts, it is a little bit weird that the love genre is yet in the first rank and continuously holding its position there.

Shouldn't we boycott the love?
Even the chances of being successful in business are more than of the relationships.
It is very hard to answer this question from the perspective of statistics! But could be answered by the philosophy.

Love is something we can not calculate. One explanation is that the risks and achievements of a startup could be calculated before entering it. But It would be very impossible to elucidate love to a hypothetical person who had not himself or herself experienced love or being loved. Love is ancient. Plato explained its philosophy very clearly.
Usually, people do not care about relationship failure before infiltrating into it. And I would term it as some metaphysical emotion that binds us to those who entertain our soul.

Yet I can’t determine the absolute conclusion because making stories in this genre is way easier than defining it.
