“I am going to sit here with you by the river. If you go home to sleep, I will sleep in front of your house. And if you go away, I will follow you – until you tell me to go away. Then I’ll leave. But I have to love you for the rest of my life.”
Paulo Coelho
“There are some things in life that are worth fighting for to the end. You are worth it.”
Paulo Coelho
Now talking about love is something that I don’t actually like anymore. And I do find writing about it even more difficult, but nevertheless I do believe in love. And so I thought I must embark on this venture, that is, to write something about it.
The other day, I got this really angry sms from one of my friends. She said that she would very much like to hang every man on this planet as they don’t deserve to live. They are despicable creatures who only know how to use a girl & then discard her. They don’t care how much they hurt a woman. They give you hints; they make promises & in the end, they marry someone else. This is the kind of experience that most of us have been through. Although we don’t think about killing guys. In my case, I don’t like to dirty my hands with cowards :P Anyhow, real love & pretending are hard to distinguish & many people suffer, cause the heart says yes when you are struck dumb with love.
I believe it’s true that you can only know a good wine if you have tasted a bad one. There are both hideous men & women out there. I have also heard terrible stories from some of my guy friends. You can’t fix the blame on one gender. It would be unfair. One of my guy friends told me that there are guys who can go for anything, but they would never say I like you to the girl they really adore. This too is a severe problem. But even such guys end up marrying someone else. That is amazing.
I have tasted rejection & yes it was bad, but in the long run, you realize that you were true to yourself. With the passage of time, we also learn that love is not everything; it’s just one of the things. My 1st love was one-sided & the guy was really mean. Now I don’t feel anything & I do regard him as a dirty bastard, but at that time I couldn’t see through people. For more than a decade, I had chronic depression. It was a bad phase. Naturally I couldn’t fall in love again.
From time to time, I hear tragic stories. Some don’t believe in love anymore & some have settled down with other men. Some are still waiting for hopeless guys. Some are being tormented by their guys. Some just want to satisfy their egos. Of course we don’t have easy answers. In fact, we don’t even understand everything that happens to us, but God knows why it happens. Often when there are things I can’t comprehend & they give me headaches, I refer to this particular Quranic verse & it makes me feel better:
“Prescribed for you is fighting, though it be hateful to you. Yet it may happen that you will hate a thing which is better for you; and it may happen that you will love a thing, which is worse for you; God knows, & you know not.”
Surah Bakrah
There are certain things that could have happened but they didn’t. However, whatever happens, it happens for a reason. God does certain things in certain ways & we take one hell of a long time to understand as to why it was really good for us.
“What is gone cannot return. What is about to arrive needs to be recognized.”
Paulo Coelho
Unfortunately I couldn’t say all the things I wanted to say. I have heard that I’m being regarded as a bold writer, but believe me I don’t even put down half of the things that are in my mind.
