Goal #3 : Understand And Find Love
To love is to receive a glimpse of heaven.
Karen Sunde
For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation.
Rainer Maria RilkeGerman lyric poet (1875 - 1926)
I've said before that the simplest things are always the hardest things to say. They are this way because our mind often betrays us at moments when we need it most. Everyone one of us has had that moment, that brief instant in time when more than anything we want to tell someone how we feel about them, and at the last second we choke and the moment escapes us, sometimes never to return. Why does ths happen, what makes our mind betray our heart?
I think it's because more than the heart, the mind knows what we need. Hell it runs the body, why not our direction romantically? From time to time we all size people up, we try to mentally get a "feel" for a person before we strike up a conversation with them. That instant my friends is what allows us to seize the day. Our mind betrays us because the brain knows from time to time that the object of affection, isn't meant to be with us.
Kind of funny, that the people we think we want to be with, are the people we really shouldn't
recently, I made the mistake of getting myself involved with a woman who didn't share my love and attention, and because of this our relationship fell apart. A loving commited relationship only works when both parties make the effort to make it work. The lady in my situation had other priorities, ones that took priority over our relationship, and when the commitment I dedicated wasn't returned, I had to do what was right in my heart and end it.
To compound and make this situation worse, I was seriously involved with another woman when I began seeing the now Ex. I left the first woman, a lady with an amazing zeal for life, a passion for her work, and a heart of gold, for what my heart told me I wanted, a relationship with a woman that was undeserving of my love. I burned a bridge, I couldn't go back to the woman who loved me, and the one I was with was driving me up a metaphorical wall. Fortunately I remembered that in these situations you need to reach out and touch faith. On a whim and a chance, I called the original girl, one who openly admitted that she loved me, and BEGGED her to take me back. But as in all matters of need, god provides, and she recieved me back with open arms. Like the prodigal son in the bible I was allowed to live up to my mistakes and strive for a better future.
But in all of this, I got to thinking about the 1980's
More importantly, the British Singer, Songwriter, Poet Mark King
Mark during the 80's asked one of the most profound philosophical questions I have ever heard.
How Can It Be
That a Love Carved Out Of Caring
Fashioned By Faith
Could Suffer So Much
By Games Played Once To Often
But Isn't Making Mistakes Part Of Lifes Grand Imperfections?
But Is It So Wrong To Be Human?
and isn't that what this blog all about, being human?
I never really could understand what it meant without looking at love. Coming to love someone, I mean really have that love that makes or breaks our universe is one of the thing that only we humans do. If I have learned anything in this life, it's that somewhere out in the distance, thiers someone waiting for all of us, we just have to find them. More on this concept later.
