No one has seen 100% true love; however Shakespeare thinks that it definitely exists.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved. (13,14)
Shakespeare is considering his own life and thinking about what he should have done.
Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds. (2,3)
Throughout Shakespeare’s life he encountered brief glimpses of perfect love. At the end of his life he attempts to compound those encounters in this soliloquy. This is what Shakespeare, who died in 1616, felt was absolutely necessary to tell the world before he died. He wanted to give his society his definition of love.

I have to agree with his opinion because one, "love" is a fantasy, fairytale that people yearn for at Disney Land.I'm not a Grinch or anything but I do believe society has a huge misconception of Love and what it really represents. William was just getting the world ready for it.
