Welcome To My Secret Garden
Saturday, May 26, 2007
Met up with the girls for supper and once again we refused to go home. We broke the the previous record, this time round we stayed till about 4.30am. (the previous was 4.15am) We are officially the Kovan night dwellers. Haha!!
Somehow we have endless things to talk about... Gossips, relationship problems, different perspectives. And I am really surprised we can actually hang around for about 6 hours without running dry of topics.
We were talking about relationships and rationality. We formed 2 school of thought. Mine is the school that believes that one should do what they deem right. While the opposing school take serious consideration about rational thinking and behaviour.
One question: Should love be rational? Think about it, if you exhibit rationality in a relationship all the time will you just miss out some essence of life. Essence of life in the sense, meaning the rise and fall, learning from mistakes. One should learn the hard way sometimes. I think trying too hard to prevent any mistakes may just prevent you from experiencing the fullness of life.
The Rationale School of Thought may argue, being irrational may bring yourself more pain, more sorrows, less objective and maybe some regret. Maybe both schools can be right to an equal extent. Conclusion, sometimes you need to be a little more rational while other times, just follow your heart.
It takes both to work out a relationship and it takes one to destroy. It takes years to build up a relationship and moments to destroy one.
Love exist definitely, but love may not be everlasting. They were saying that one should put in effort to build up a relationship and maintain it and not just leaving it aside when you are sick and tired of facing it. Maybe just like a a baby, it takes love commitment and perserverance to groom and bring up a baby, don't say when you find out ur baby is ill or less intelligent then you just cast the baby aside. No right?
Talking about the existence of Love and it not being everlasting. So I wondered, can marriage be build and maintain on a condition of discounted love. Isn't a marriage with discouted love just like marriage built on the foundation of sand? My analogy is that discounted love will bring about discounted commitment and discounted efforts. If you step into a marriage where discounted love exist, is it going to be sustainable?? Well, whatever it is, just remember that you don't walk into anything thinking that its going to fail. You don't walk into a marriage thinking of divorce all the time. But the topic about discounted love is something worth reflecting about.
Isn't love and relationships complex?? And for us humans to think about all these complex issues, we are just complex creatures making the environment more complex for ourselves to live in. Maybe sometimes we should just stop our pace and think through what we really want in life and working towards it.
