The trueness of love?

Posted on Dec 5th, 2008 by Desafinada : Insanity in a nutshell Desafinada
True love. Is there any other?
Who would really know what true love is?Who decides what love is true?
Then again, how do you know for sure "the true"?

I think love is always "true".If it's isn't "true", then it isn't love.Love doesn't have rules or boundaries or a definition.Love is...personal.And everyone loves in a different way.

If someone is in love with someone by their physical appearance, and just that...I would still call it love.They love their physical appearance atleast.They love.Though I do not understand why most people say that they would like to be loved for their "brains" than their "beauty".If the than was replaced by along with, it might make sense.But people think that someone loving them for solely their "brains" has a truer(sorry for that word) love than someone who loves their "beauty".And I see no logic indeed.Why do most people think the body is inferior than the brain?

So I think if love can be true, then every love is true.

Sure people can be messed up, and make wrong decisions along time.But what people do isn't the measure of how much they love something.Atleast I think so.

Because then people who are insane would be deprived of "true love".People who aren't all sorted out would be incapable of that love.
Then love would simply be nothing more than a talent.And it is not that.That is the beauty of it.Anyone can fall in love.
Maybe how you love is a talent.But perhaps not how much.
Love is one of those things that is not a factor of anything in general. Not even time. I don't mean in the "I will always love you" kind of way. People can love for any amount of time.Short or long, or even forever.But that still isn't a measure of much they love.Because of a simple thing. Just because a car A travels for a longer time than time B, doesn't mean A has reached further than B.Simply because car B could be moving at a speed much faster than car A.

A particular love can only be measured by someone who goes through it, and realizes it.So, can you measure someone else's love? I don't think so.

I'll be real.Love doesn't always end the right way for everyone.Because people can be (and most often will be) all messed up.
And sometimes, they can fall in love twice.Sometimes, at the same time.And even more sometimes, by amounts they can't differentiate.And sadly, they will have to make a choice.Love is like a horse that takes you through heaven and hell, but what we can remember is that we are the ones riding it.

So again, if tomorrow I wake up and someone asks me about "true love" or real love", I'd say...Listen, I don't know what is true and I don't know what is real....but if you are only talking about love...then either all of it is true/real or none of it is.In either case, I don't care.Because I'm enjoying it.

(Besides that, sometimes a tiny voice in my head tells me that truth and reality are overvalued.)

Lovers Are Like Rockets

Posted on Dec 8th, 2008 by Desafinada : Insanity in a nutshell Desafinada
Look far up
As we catch the fire
It's only a matter of time
Before we can fly

Strings shrink
Upon a golden shadow
Among all the noise
Do you feel alive

Static is faster
Than all we can think
Are we among the stars
Within a minute

Begin to wonder
Are we just light and sound
Breaking and exploding
Turning to dust

Grow stronger
We'll have to burn dear
Lovers are like rockets
Destined to burst

Snow Patrol- How to be dead

 

How To Be Dead -Snow Patrol

Lyrics

Please don't go crazy, if I tell you the truth

No you don't know what happened

And you never will if

You don't listen to me while I talk to the wall

This blanket is freezing, it's been out in the hall

Where you've had me for hours

Till I'm sure what I want

But darling I want the same thing that I wanted before

So sweetheart tell me what's up. I won't stop...

No way


Please keep your hands down

And stop raising your voice

It's hardly what I'd be doing if you gave me a choice

It's a simple suggestion can you give me sometime

So just say yes or no

Why can't you shoulder the blame

'Cause both my shoulders are heavy

From the weight of us both

You're a big boy now so let's not talk about growth

You've not heard a single word I have said...

Oh, my God


Please take it easy it can't all be my fault

I haven't made half the mistakes

That you've listed so far

Baby let me explain something

It's all down to drugs

At least I remember taking them and not a lot else

It seems I've stepped over lines

You've drawn again and again

But if the ecstacy's in the wit is definitely out

Dr. Jekyll is wrestling Hyde for my pride



I never thought that I would have to put this song up at Gaia. Not like this. * sob * (Don't even ask how lame I feel at the moment.)


Now we are aware of the little events of “unpleasantness” that are coming up at Gaia every now and then.I think most of them are just unnecessary.


People!Be considerate.Everyone can't always be all nice all the time. People encounter problems in real life. Some aren't great writers.Some are just not good at conversation. You can't expect people to think about every word they write in every sentence and let them get a nasty headache.Though you can request them to try.


Jerry Maguire : I'm sorry, but it's a fact that there's such a thing 
...as manners ....
A way of treating people...............
These fish have manners.

 

????


Do Gaians no longer believe in the goodness of humanity?That despite our little acts of stupidity...we are all nice inside. I know this isn't always true. Some fellow might just want to be mean. But people relax! That doesn't always happen. If someone is apologizing, that is it. They're sorry.

And people.... apologize if someone feels hurt.Even if you didn't mean it. There are sentences like 'I'm sorry if I hurt you. But I didn't mean it that way. What I meant/ mean is.......' Or 'I'm sorry.I wasn't in my senses.I was blinded by anger/pain/irritation/? . I didn't mean it that way'


All meanings, we know, depend on the key of interpretation.

George Eliot : English novelist, pen name of Mary Ann Evans
George Eliot (1819 - 1880)
Source: Daniel Deronda, bk. 1, ch. 6 (1876).


If someone feels I have offended them in anyway, feel free to mail me here at Gaia.I will apologize. Though I never mean to hurt anyone.

I'm an absolute introvert.And I take this opportunity to apologize to all my friends here because I don't keep in touch. I'm bad at conversations and it's garnished with forgetfulness. (An emotional moment) Can I get to hug all of you?

Big Hug


Ehm....back to where we were...


Learn to forgive an forget. C'mon people.Atleast I should be asking that much of you people here at Gaia. And don't get upset and leave the community. Repeat. Don't get upset and leave the community. Do you leave planet earth because your neighbour said something to you? Or because George Bush said something? Gaia is such a lovely name, referring to the Earth. You are not from another planet Gaians! You are in a community here on Earth itself. And you cannot escape the world. Though, I can understand.You must be tired working all day.And when you come here at Gaia ,you expect positivity. But since Gaia is a part of the world, you cannot escape some influence of the “outside world” here.

When you come across a sentence you think is insulting or offensive or something as that sort, think of all the ways that sentence could be read, what that person could be meaning, does it have more than one meaning, etc. And if you still think it is so, then ask that person. There's nothing wrong in asking.

Try it. Make me proud of you.

 


Scene from The Bucket List


Keep things clear people. Give them a chance to apologize. Let them know you're hurt. They may have not meant it to be like that. Don't make a mountain out of a molehill .Ask them to be nice.If still the person is being insulting and offensive, report to the Gaia Team (tada). But don't go to them with every little complain of this one said that to me and all. You're all above the age of ten. Don't bother them with such things.Bother them with other things like...My profile page doesn't look right....I can't paste videos anymore......How do you paste videos?


Look at what wonderful people they are.(Yay Gaia Team!) .They sweat to make this place better.All of them. Siona, Jessica,Chris,Francois,Ryan,Terri,Jodi, Jackson and ~Matthew!


Don't just run away!You can't change the world if you can't face it. The Gaia Team doesn't have to waste their time patrolling here.We could take care of it. We should help.After all we are a part of this community. They don't have to keep putting restrictions. Let there be healthier debates. If we just want to listen to the same thing and hear people agree...we can record what we think and record after that a few “I agree”s and play it again and again. If we are all in a discussion , there are likely to be conflicts. The number of members on Gaia are increasing and people will be louder and bolder in their statements to get their voice through.Doesn't necessarily make them rude.Read every sentence like this fellow here is reading to you.....


Angel


You don't need to be embarrassed. We can all make each others lives easy. It's already f***ed up out there. For heaven's sake people!Be mature.Grow up.

Let Gaia be a peaceful place.

I want Gaia to be a peaceful place.

I want it!

I want it!

I want it!

*Stomps foot *

(So much for maturity.)

What is the most difficult thing about love?

Posted on Dec 12th, 2008 by Desafinada : Insanity in a nutshell Desafinada
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for December 12, 2008:

You can't escape it.
Specially because I don't want to escape. ;)
For me, that would be the only difficult thing.

Random Thought - TIME

Posted on Dec 31st, 2008 by Desafinada : Insanity in a nutshell Desafinada
I'm just feeling the New Year when my head begins to wonder. And that's when all the absurd things usually come to my head.

This time, well...ehm...it's time itself.

And I can't help but wonder.........What do I know about it?
There's more than that clock on my wall. All there is, is a measurement system. And now I doubt it's association to actual time as well.

The method we use now,I think is actually based on sundials. I don't mean the mechanism or principle. Just the idea of the system. The seconds, minutes and hours.
And as the New Year has come in, I keep on thinking...'What am I supposed to be celebrating?' (Why do I end up sounding depressing so often? :P)

I'm thinking about the event. And I realize, I'm not celebrating anything in time at all. Because the New Year isn't time coming back.
What the New Year would be standing for is the earth, along with us, reaching around a particular position in it's orbit. And that also applies to our birthdays and other events.
And that is what a year is.A complete revolution of the earth.

Back to the sundials.They were based on shadows cast by the suns position and they developed hours, minutes and seconds from that.(And I was just about to type that the sun is stationary when I stop. The Milky Way moves, so it would be horribly unsafe to say that the sun doesn't. ).If we take the sun as the point of reference, the earth is moving. And it's rotating. That's what makes a day.
And so I've come to think is all that we measure is the earth's positions in a weird way.

So well, I don't know how to measure time. I don't know even if it can be measured. I don't know if time can be turned back or accelerated.

I don't know anything about it.Then again I might not be knowing anything at all.
There are different views on time, but that's not really what I'm looking for right now.
Time...


Oh well...
Happy New Year everyone!
