Let's talk about Love

Again, on a Sunday afternoon… am armed with the Sunday Star…
Finally it’s the se7enth day of the Lunar New Year, also known as ‘Yan-Yat’ (where according to Chinese folklore/legend, the day where humans were created, not before all the mountains and streams and livestocks, yes, cows and such, were made by the Creator).
I guess, this just goes to show how a thick wad of Sunday papers never fail to ooze the “gibberishness” out of me, and yes, how in actual fact, humans take less precedence out of everything else in the making of this realm… hahah.

Anyhow, today’s paper featured an article of sorts on this thing called Love.
Unconditional love of all sorts; the lovers’ kind, the maternal kind, and the canine kind… of course, the lovers’ kind had me pondering too, and the maternal kind got me feeling all overwhelmed while picturing my sis and my nephew in the head, as for the canine kind, nope, I skipped that. Shame shame, but pets just aren't my thing.

The unconditional love. The writer threw the question of "how you'd feel if your girlfriend left you for your best friend?" instead of the usual/normal/accepted bout of rage, betrayal and jealousy, Unconditional Love would mean forgiveness and happiness that your now-ex-partner has newfound contentment and happiness albeit in the arms of another man, worse still, your best friend, who you'd one day imagined would be in fact, your bestman down the aisle.

I think, 'forgiveness of' and 'happiness for' your ex only comes (if they ever), AFTER, all the bouts of rage, jealousy, angst and feeling of betrayal. Humans being humans (no pun intended on this Yan-Yat), are creatures of emotions after all. In this day of instant-love and break-ups, players are entitled to instant gratifications as well as instant flares of temper. Talks about forgiveness and happiness, these are all only after attempts, maybe even numerous attempts, of wrestling back your lost love. Failed attempts, may then bring about 'forgiveness of' and 'happiness for' your ex-partner. Call it whatever you like, but yes, defeat equals 'forgiveness of' and 'happiness for'. But then again, it’s a laudable effort, considering not all defeated players go down well with the road of 'forgiveness of' and 'happiness for'. let’s not forget about Bitterness and Hate.
Perhaps, it can be summed that those who choose to discover and follow the forgiveness and happiness path earlier are the real winners. We are all players in the various & different stages of life.. accepting reality and moving on are the best bets. After all, we do not live to play only on one stage.

All these while watching the telly, MTV ~ I love the 80s & 90s (my first switch to channels other than astro’s dynasty package on this lunar new year period), along the old yet favored yet kinda humorous tunes of:
Always by Erasure,
Shattered Dreams by Johnny Hates Jazz,
Love Changes (Everything) by Climie Fisher...
