Its sad that people cause other people pain.. but hell sometimes people are just that way. Life is so fucked up in the number of interpersonal relationships the twine around eachother building a sick global web of love, hate, esctasy, and pain. We can never understand the complexity of it.. or how even what seems to be the most meaningless thing to us.. is the whole world to somebody else. how our friendly words to one person might drive a needle through the heart of another. life sucks that way and i wish i could live outside of that web. i dont want to hurt anyone or be hurt, but in daily social intercourse with other people we are doomed to partake in it to some degree.
What is Love? Is it just an extreme like of one person, be it physical, mental or spiritual attraction? a purely utopian concept? walt disney?
i like to think of it as suicide in a way.. To put all your trust and feelings into another person who you THINK you know. Like jumping off a building, you leave your whole old concept of life behind and take a step of faith into a tumbling void of emotion, conflict and or harmony. it can be the most beautiful time of our lives.. and it can also be the most painful, as goes the saying, "Is it better to have loved and lost or to have never loved at all?"
Its insane to think that two people.. unique in so many ways can actually find a total balance with eachother. what i think a successful relationship actually is, is two people who still disturb eachother in the same ways that an unsuccessful couple might, but have the stregnth to overlook eachothers faults in favor of their good points and tough it out. no one is perfect. in love, often the little things that we think are so attractive and cute in a partner, become grating and annoying in a year. This is of course, not to mention all the extra annoying things that you find out about them within said year. On the same note, one might discover wonderful things about the
other person as time passes.
in this age of SELF and individualism the divorce rates are no suprise to me. the greed just pushes people to want MORE, FASTER and BETTER and that doesn't just go for cars, electronics, and stuff, but for lovers as well. Its tricky because finding the right person in all their complexities is quite different than shopping for anything else. many factors involved and many more to consider as you age together. i suppose there is a simple rule one could consider when wondering about a partner- Do i feel better when im with them or when i'm alone?
Love is without a doubt, a battlefeild. but maybe if we can convince the enemy to just sit down and consider what the war is about, we would see alot less wounded peole walking around. or *heh* maybe the answer is rubber bullets.(not meant to be sexual) ;;;;;;;;
