Of Plants and Patching Up
Yesterday night..or rather this morning..i was faced with a very difficult question from a friend of mine..who was having relationship problems with his girlfriend..was talking to him through msn and he was really troubled..about whether to path up with her or not..what can i say..'its really your own decision..' i said..then he threw to me this question that really got me thinking for awhile..'Weilien..whats love?'Gosh that was tough..tougher than those boring math questions or those wordy geography essays...this is THE question that i havent asked myself before..and i guess a lot of you havent really asked yourself too..What is it really?A feeling?Just another word?A friendly gesture?I really didnt know..so i kept silent for awhile without talking...and said,'Love is like a pot of plant. You cannot give it too much water because it will rot, nor can you give it too little water because it will dry up. You cannot place it for too long in the sunlight because it dry up,nor can you put it in the shade for too long because it will wither. Love is rough, love is tough, you have to treat it with care. Sometimes you try too hard to make things right, you work too hard to make it a beautiful plant. In the end you get cut by the thorns on the plant. The truth is. its very hard to manage. Too much or too little of something will only destroy it. However if yu succeed,it will become the most beautiful plant in the world.' I told him that..didnt really make sense to him since he was in a depression. Then he asked me if he should patch up.And i told him,'Go ahead and patch up...No problem...All you do is to stick a plaster over the wound...But remember this,though you dont see the wound since its covered up...its still there...it still exists...you are just covering up the truth because you are afraid to face it. Like an Ostrich which sticks its head into the sand when danger approaches. Its not going to solve anything. What you have to do is to find the medicine to heal the wound. But the formula for the medicine,you guys gotta find out for yourself. After all the wound was torn apart by the hands of both parties.' Then i got too tired and fell aslp...Oh well what can i say...He's a nice dude...the girl's weird though..for some reason everyone around me these days are falling for weird girls...I think she's too childish when it comes to love...seeing it as merely a feeling...getting into a relationship to her is to experience the first times...the first time you hold hands..the first time you kiss..the first 'I love you' you hear from the opposite sex.But in reality relationships are more than just that.Its not about the adrenaline rush that flows through your whole body when your lips first touch the guy's. Then what is it?That i will leave it to you to find out.This is not physics or chemistry where there is a specific definition for almost everything.What is a relationship?what is it about?Find out for yourselves..On the way you might stumble you might be hurt...but knowing the truth about something..thats fulfilling indeed...
