I recently watched an avant garde movie called "Love Lies and Bleeding".
The movie took a few things to the extremes with the plot and with clear decisions to be made.
On introspecting the movie, there were different kinds of love: Sibling love (to protect the other), Husband-wife love (the wife loved him despite he being a physical abuser), father-daughter love/ dislove (where one daughter separated from the father due to his alleged killing of her mother) and lesbian love (2 ladies loving one lady).
The clashes and conflicts that came:
One sister wants to protect her sister from abuse and is ok with killing her husband while the abused sister wants to continue her troubled relationship with her husband. Priority and purpose of love.
One lady loving another while a stranger loves the same girl. Competition in love.
A father wants to protect her daughter from cops while she says mum about the killing of the mother and others by her dad. Love to not hurt.
The conflicts came when one love or the purpose of one love came in confrontation or a higher priority of another love.
In modern worlds, these conflicting loves are there but not shown explicitly.
One of the most common substitutes of love is giving time. When one relationship gets more time (or assumedly more time than required) than another, this comes as a conflict in love. These relationships could be grandparent-parent v/s parent-child v/s parent-in laws v/s spouse-spouse v/s friends time v/s relaxation or hobby time.
It is almost impossible not to have conflicts with the limited resources of time.
How we keep what relationships we want for the future, manage/reduce the non-value added relationships to get what we want out of life is the question.
