Love and Happiness ....
Two things undervalued greatly these days. Even worse, they have been perpetrated by things like:
Money
Fame
Fortune
Lust
Material possession
Greed
Selfishness
How have we come to the point where what matters is worthless and what's valuable doesn't matter? Does this mean that Love trumps all? No, but it conquers all. How is that?
Simple; one day, you will love
But what fairy tales don't tell you or TV media cannot relay is this:
" Love, like the coin, has two sides to it's being and just as the rose's beauty is intriguing , it's thorns come with the pedals to your hand. You will hurt as you will love, but that's not the problem. The problem is many of us CHOOSE to hurt rather than love. "
People argue and there will be disagreements. That's normal. You don't have to always fight to be right, especially for something trivial. I feel too many of us CHOOSE trivial accuracy over love and longevity.
Do you REALLY have to be right about who left the toilet seat up?
Do you REALLY have to be right about who sung whatever song back in whatever town on your first date?
Do you REALLY have to be right about who did what the right way and who did whatever wrong?
A relationship of love is built over time, brick by brick. I feel these trivial pursuits of accuracy tend to pull apart each brick until the foundation collapses to the ground.
As I'm sure many have known before me, to give in is to get. Letting the other win from time to time, letting things slip, picking your battles isn't done necessarily because you're weak; it's done out of strength of character and respect for your relationship with your significant other.
Love is far from weakness. Love is strength on a level which you'll never experience until you've feel it. So many people seem afraid of love when they don't understand just how powerful it is
Love hard and love well. It's a beautiful thing and I'm thankful that a beautiful woman showed me how to love.
