MY OWN THOUGHTS

Humans can do things for various reasons, i've narrowed it down to 3, Love, Money and Spite. Obviously, you can do things for money, it buys you houses, it buys you cars and it buys you comfort, as such alot of people can do crazy things for money, but that is understandable.

You can do something for love as well, love is all about sacrifice and giving. Sometimes to have that special someone to hold onto, you can break all barriers you normally wouldn't. You can put aside selfish pride for love, you can give up money for love and you can give yourself for love. I've been there too, in some point of my life, so I understand this perfectly.

Lastly, you can do something out of spite. This seems queer because the only benefit you get out of this, is a deep satisfaction that puts a smirk on your face. It is said that doing something out of spite is more rewarding than doing something for love and money?

TRUE OR FALSE....well, i can understand all three, they all make perfect sense to me. Especially what i've written about spite. I am by no means a petty person and neither do i like to see misfortunte befall other people, but i do like to see people get their just desserts if they deserve it.

Yet..as the years have gone by, i realised that i need to forgive sometimes, as i want to be forgiven too. So I've gone back to my emphasis on love.

I can't say I understand love, because almost everyone will say they won't understand it. No dictionary can adaquately explain love, other than labelling a human emotion that draws two people together.

I'm only 22 years of age, but I'm finally beginning to understand what love is..to an extent. Unfortunately, i can only explain the painful part of it. "Sometimes when you truely love somebody, you need to let that person go".....This is an overused phrase, used in a countless number of cheesy films. I used to think it was crap and it made absolutely no sense, but I'm beginning to understand it now.

Sometimes you know that by letting someone go, that person could be happier elsewhere, rather than by your side, since love is about sacrifice, your own happiness is irrelevant. If you love someone enough, you must learn to let go. And learning how to let someone go, is the hardest thing to do, even harder than loving someone with all your heart....
