The Feeling


Sweet old couple

again they have becoming my topic

lol

Old couple as i take it as Life Partner. I always think about how will it be when i am getting old and how will my life be with my partner. When an old couple are together and the man is so sweet to his wife. Life talking her hand, helping her cross the street, giving her flowers, kiss her on the cheek and anything else you would consider romantic. It's definitely the "aww" moment. There really is something about old couple that endure the test of time that makes my heart pump a bit faster. I suppose living in a time that plaster high divorce rate all over the place really make marriage so depressing, sometimes it really do. By looking at image such as the one i put above, it gives me hope that love can possibly last.

Their love is refined. Staying with someone for years and years on end takes a lot of hard work, compromise, suffering, patience, and humility. At times, these are painful things that one must experience before you can truly say you love someone. Because how can you say you love someone and not be willing to compromise? Comprise is an act of selflessness which goes beyond the normal human behavior for human beings are not born altruistic.

However, no matter how love can last forever, human being cannot. Human being have his limited time of living, they are fragile. Unless they are immortal. lol. Anyway, quotation of an elder :" facing death of your life partner will be more painful than facing the death of your parents." I guess it is obviously right. For me, it is not that we dont love our parents enough, but life partner is where they supposed to be with us till the end of our life. But reality does not always applying this theory.

Quotations from Osho, a Hindu Buddha. He said something about life and death. The mind always tries to avoid things which it cannot comprehend, and death is one of the most incomprehensible mysteries. Three mysteries on the world, life, death and love. All these three are beyond mind. So mind takes life fro granted. 

Whose mind will ever willingly accept negative things? Moreover, death. Imagine what if i have to face the death of my life partner? Could not even imagine it. Definitely i will be extremely sad and feel lonely at times. Someone that i used to stay together everyday. Someone that i love so much. Someone that i have spent my life with him. Someone that supposed to be forever with me. But we have to understand, no matter how deep is the love towards your partner, eventually one day will be separated.

Always couples will ask, if one day when we grow older, and eventually we have to face death some day, will you choose to be the one who faced it first and left me alone in this world or you will let me faced it first because you dont want me to suffer the pain of losing you and living alone for the rest of my life. Ya, is kind of childish to ask this, but yet at the same time it is still kind of romantic to ask it. Obviously this is asking for preferences, who will be able to control life and death? Oh, almost forgotten one special group of human being. Maybe those stupid idiot suicider? i guess. lol

Anyhow, life partner spent their life together, living together, facing challenges together, survive together, holding hands go through all sorts of complications in life. Me and him, definitely not there yet, i guess. Although we staying together living together face any problems in life together, although we see each other from the moment we open our eyes in the morning till the moment we close our eyes at night, although we have been to some sweet,sour,bitter,spicy in life, and yet still not compatible to life partner. A life partner have a deeper meaning, deeper responsibilities. The most obvious difference is, we do not have any obligation to a family yet.

But imagine if i have to face the death in this situation, yet i still cannot affort it moreover life partner. How tough will i have to be in order to face it. Nobody will actually know if only we have been through that stage. What i can say is, a lot of courages and strength needed. You will get really stuck and there is no way out. Then sooner or later you have to open yourself to realize that there is another way to see the meaning of your life and go through it.

What's done done, what's happened happened. Three mysteries on the world, life, death and love. Either one will have the enough power to make ones gone crazy. Enough power to take over ones mind. But actually, is not that they have the power to, but is ourself that let them have the power to over take our mind, control our mindset. Like i said, who will willingly comprises with the negative things that originally we do not wishes it to be happened? The mind will always tries to avoid things which it cannot comprehend, thus, taking over our feeling and emotional.

People always said " Be tough in your heart"
But i think " Be tough in your mind" will be better....
