here i go again..
11:15 PM
i was supposed to post this last night..unfortunately, my internet service provider was stupid enough to not connect..anyway, here is my second entry.
today, i went out with my two best friends, apple and jazm..we went to g4 and watched a flick entitled, 'guess who'..it was about this guy named simon green (ashton kutcher) who's with this black chick theresa jones (dunno who it was)..maybe a couple of days before her parents' 25th anniversary, simon was introduced to theresa's family and of course, problems started to arise because simon was white..percy, theresa's father (played by bernie mac), really didn't like simon..he then started to look for reasons why theresa isn't lucky to have simon..well, i don't really blame him for being a caring father, who wouldn't want the best for his child?but turns out, he made a pathetic father of himself, instead of a caring one..
you see, for me, 'over caring' sort of really blinded him because all he looked for was the financial security of his child, mistaking it for something else..he thought of the bad things that might happen to his daughter without even seeing the fact that theresa was truly happy..i mean, yeah, you should also think of that, but wouldn't it be better if instead of dwelling on the fact, he also saw the happiness that the love between simon and theresa has bloomed into?he stupidly overlooked the fact that color didn't really matter between simon and theresa..what mattered to the both of them was that they were happy, things work out, and that they were the better halves of each other..theresa was everything what simon wasn't and vice versa..it was like they complete each and without the other, one would certainly be empty and unhappy..
and like other stories, it ended happily, with percy learning that he'd become an unknowing stupid, selfish racist..he, of course, accepted simon and you can now add here the things that accompany a happy ending..
this story also reminds me of that one movie, fools rush in..although they had the same storyline, this movie more of dwelled on the belief and cultural differences of two people who fell in love with each other..it almost ended tragically because one of them thought that they were too different (their parents argued over religion; in which state they would live in, etc) and that they would never be able to compromise..so she gave up, with the fear of the pain of losing the guy..but you know what?she was definitely wrong in thinking that she knew better than the crazy little thing we call love..she thought love would never find a way to put them together, believing that they were better off without each other..
but as they say, 'love moves in mysterious ways'..love, together with fate, goes and finds very peculiar ways of putting together the most unlikely and different of couples..it goes into all the trouble of softening certain hearts and making it fall into the pit of the oxymoron which we call love..
and that's what i have learned through some experiences in my life..we can never really know better than love..it's like a double-edged sword, you'll hurt either way..difference is, on the other, it cuts deeper and takes a longer time to heal..there is no security, and so i've learned..that is why if faced with challenges, especially differences (may it be in color, religion, culture and belief), we should always look on the brighter side of things and find ways on how to overcome those challenges, using your heart and mind, not one over the other..because if you go against the ways of love, sometimes, it will only be like piercing yourself with the double-edged sword..
and just some other thing i've learned: if you really love each other, find reasons to be happy, not reasons to hurt yourself or somebody else..and know that there will never be rules in love..
end note:generally, this applies to steady relationships encountering challenges, specifically differences..i'll be sharing my belief on some other challenges in my other blog entries.. :)
