Hi Karen,
I agree with you that the basic Buddhist notions are in general lost among people today. The want for material goods and physical desires persists throughout most everyone; however, those who are able to reach a place free of wants seem to be in a good place. But as you say in your entry, a media portrayal of “true love,” or in this case general desires is the seeming antithesis of those Buddhist convictions.
