"The Forbidden Kingdom"--movie review on 2008-04-26 10:25:56 |

Hey, nice movie review you've composed. By the way, I love watching those martial arts based movies of Jackie Chan, so do my brothers. I am not good at remembering movie titles but I loved watching Drunken Master and a few others. The fights are just AWESOME - the graceful smooth movements, and the way attacks are dodged.

Dear missmarie,
I feel that you should never leave his side. He is extremely fortunate that he has a friend-cum-well-wisher like you who has stuck to him through thick and thin. He feels the same way for you - his concern that your husband might be offended shows that clearly. I know it can be very painful to see friends go through so much pain and sometimes you run out of comforting words to ease their distress. I feel you shouldn't avoid his company and I hope your husband will be generous and broad-minded enough to understand and accept your relationship with him.

Courage is..... on 2008-04-25 10:12:53 |

Your comment confused me a little. I wasn't referring to those unworthy beliefs that one might change slightly as something 'bad'. It's just that a lot of incidents might make you realise that your beliefs weren't worth holding onto, they didn't make you happy in the end. Or perhaps they have exhausted your courage and stamina. What do you do then? Do you still stick to them?

I can't believe this...as I was reading through this, I felt like I was speaking to myself, every word you've put down - saying it exactly the way I feel everyday. I revisit those hurting memories now and then. I so wish too that I wasn't me. And crying makes it worse, makes me only witness my loneliness and helplessness, amidst others' happy spirits. And on top of everything, those expectations add on as a burden; when I'm just plainly struggling to survive.

The Missing Link Revealed on 2008-04-25 09:23:25 |

Epicurean Theology:
Epicurus said, "Death does not concern us; because, as long as we exist, death is not here; and when death is here, we no longer exist."
Existence is not referring to that of the spirits here: it's dictionary meaning of existence or as our real world describes the status of us living beings.
Death does not frighten me - it's only the associated pain that horrifies me. Hold your breath for sometime: how long can you? How do you feel when you can't hold it anymore? That's the taste of death. How relieved do you feel when you release your breath afterwards? That is something worth a tonne of gratitude.

Deception: the damage a whirlpool of lies can cause a person, the insurmountable level of painful frustrations that it brings with itself, especially when you realize you've been deceived. Betrayal, breach of trust all come hand in hand.

Love at First Sight OR Blind Love on 2008-04-25 04:47:13 |

Haha, I just posted a survey on the same topic as your blog post before reading yours. You haven't mentioned that Eros didn't fall in love with Psyche only because of her captivating beauty. Eros accidentally pricked himself with his own arrow, unknowingly.
Psyche wouldn't have broken the promise, had her friends and relatives not provoked her curiosity. Psyche went to the mountains, as advised, in search of Eros; from where she jumped off. And Cupid flew over and caught hold of her right on time.

What is the Best Way to End a Friendship? on 2008-04-25 04:23:32 |
|
I'll leave a conclusive note:
I find it unethical to encourage people pursue a relationship that might cause destruction of another in the process. Although feelings don't want to listen to the rational mind intertwined with so many morals, principles and ethics; one has to learn to stick to their principles for satisfaction and happiness. Many people don't want to involve in love triangles - one of their principles. I therefore cannot tell the girl to try to make another point to him - whether her action will threat his current affair or not is another issue - but her intention itself is immoral by definition.
I believe in the massive power of true love, the miracles it can devise. If you possess that much love and passion, remember, it is powerful enough to bring your love back to you (without you having to try anything) - provided that your object of love cares for you too, in the same way, even if a little bit. Even if the depth of his feelings is nothing compared to your abyss. But when it doesn't happen, you know the feelings weren't ever remotely mutual. He had nothing for you ever.
Everyday I wake up with a new thought and realization, I feel wiser and more powerful within. You should never ever let your feelings take over yourself until you're 100% certain that your object of love feels the same. Living with the knowledge that my love is one-sided, being unable to achieve anything other than feeding the other person's ego - just disgusts me, makes myself feel shamefully desperate and low, stamped upon and spat at. I can't ever stop hating a person who'd make me feel that way, make me suffer from feelings of self-hatred. Forgiveness is out of question.

Hi all! Thanks a lot for your time and patience; and for the insightful comments that are bringing into light the possible ways to view the case.
DifficultSoul, you have ignored the fact that she did agree to go into a relationship, but he demanded sex. She has expressed his feelings for him already, but she couldn't agree to engage in sexual activity in a relationship. His strong demand for pre-marital sex (which is highly unacceptable in both their cultures) showed clearly that he used it as an excuse to have nothing to do with the girl. I doubt the existence of his feelings for her therefore. In that case, he should be fine with friendship - but why he chose to end it too is unclear. Possibly she became too annoying for him to bear. Or perhaps he just didn't want to remain friends with a girl he realizes to have feelings for him; because he has none for her. Also possibly, the girl he's dating now - possibly they came to know each other much earlier; and this might have been her suggestion to end friendship with this girl, who was taking up so much time of his days.

Whoa!!! About 7000 views! You know what, I don't know who you are - but remember you are not the only one in such a situation. So do not feel disheartened and frustrated. You've wonderfully expressed your thoughts in there. Do check the story that I have posted in my blog. The girl in that story is suffering a lot and has similar feelings as you've stated in this post. In fact your poem can be interposed in my story as the girl's self-piteous soliloquy.

Hey! I am new to blogging - my reason to begin this new venture is none other than what you've highlighted here - express unspoken words. Many bloggers here do not have people who'd willingly listen to them or have time to attentively talk to them. Others have numerous people around them but none whom they can say what their hearts are bursting out to tell. In either case, they feel lonely in a crowd. Blogs, just like true friends who are hard to find, allow you to be yourself and out down all you want to say and won't hurt you. You don't have to pretend or try to please anyone.

Haha, I just HAD to read it, finally yeah. The description is awesome really - you beat Sheldon! :D I've also had vivid dreams, although not about anything sexual. It's amazing - the way you lose yourself in such dreams that seem to temporarily become the much cherished reality...and shake you through. And when you wake up - you just can't believe it isn't real - or perhaps it IS real in another dimension we know not of.

Courage is..... on 2008-04-24 13:56:43 |

Hi! Liked your post...undoubtedly, a lot of courage is necessary to stick to your beliefs like a rock, because there will definitely be times when your courage will be tried and exhausted and you might fail to hold onto your beliefs. But I was just wondering - what if at one stance some of your beliefs are proved to be unworthy (of strongly holding onto)? Do people re-adjust or make slight alterations to their beliefs to suit their courage, when it's at the risk of failing?

Hi DifficultSoul, thanks for flattering me :P Lol. No, I mean thanks immensely for motivating me to continue blogging. I have started to feel a sense of belonging here now; and there are so many interesting posts to browse in this website.
And you've analyzed my post exceptionally well - and pointed out the most important aspect of it - the exact location where the vagueness lies. Who was pursuing a relationship? The girl's confusion is one interesting issue - she doesn't think about any relationship until the guy talks about it. She is prepared to accept either relationship or friendship - anything so as to not lose him (which clearly indicates that she does feel passionately about him). The guy raises the point about going into a relationship - was it because he wanted to take the friendship onto the next level? Or may be he never wanted that, he only wished to find out whether the girl felt anything for him, out of mere curiosity? Or perhaps he just created all that drama to end the friendship he was exhausted with? What do you think? My post has assumed that the guy was never pursuing a relationship - he just wanted to end the friendship for some reason; and he was setting up a drama and coming up with excuses. Perhaps because he thought that telling her bluntly on her face that "I don't like you anymore, you're irritating; I don't want to be friends with you anymore" would hurt her more. He wanted her to think that he liked her and gently end the friendship without arousing any resentful feelings within the girl. So that she wouldn't feel bad about herself and think that it's she who rejected him. His strategy would have worked perfectly if the girl had no feelings for him at all.
And the chief question I posed here is - which is the better way to end a friendship? Telling the truth behind it? Or letting the friend live in some blissfully peaceful lie? What would hurt the friend more? The sudden blunt truth that might lower the friend's own self-image and think that she is not likeable? Or the lie, which won't make her feel so bad; but once the lie wears off and she somehow finds out the truth, she might be even more hurt? Like in this case...she has found out the truth now.

To Spook: Thanks for revisiting my blog. I know, the decision you've taken is the most practical one. And I know what you mean - even the sight of that person causes you a lot of pain. Imagine the girl's situation then, now that she has realized that she does have some feelings for him; they're in the same college, so she unfortunately gets to see him now and then; and that too, with another girl now.

Thanks a lot everyone, for your comments and appreciation.
Dear kateee, I am extremely glad to know that my writing caused you to think differently and threw some light on things you were unaware of. Yeah, sometimes a few words can change people's outlook towards life, let alone long paragraphs. If my words have the power to influence even one person, then that's more than enough to make me happy. I look forward to reading your posts.
Dear incense, thanks to you and to everyone else for encouraging me to continue blogging. I have changed my mind therefore, I won't quit unless I really have no other choice. And you know what you're one of the very few lucky people in this world if what you say is true - that is you've never had to be in such a painful situation. So flatter yourself and gratefully celebrate. :D

Hey! It is a very insightful composition. I liked the first picture most - full of tranquility in the twilight. The second picture has a great significance - it depicts a sea of perhaps just misunderstandings and complications that separate them; but there seems to be no way to swim through that and reach them, leaving you lonely. But I didn't understand the 'Your own talent being used against you' part. What do you exactly mean by that?

Dear templar_knight, thanks for your comment; you are right - that's the way the guy in this scenario chose to suddenly end the friendship (by not receiving her calls/emails etc), without wanting to give reasons; even the reasons he gave when she forced him to, were not the real reasons. The question lies there: should you use such a method - end a friendship without giving (true) reasons? Or should you be honest about it?
Dear brainstormer, thanks for your comment and effort to read the post. Is it possible for you to try and read a bit of it if it is not painful? And thanks, the profile pic is from an anime wallpaper. And I will definitely check out the post you've written. I am still wondering whether it is that easy to keep running ahead without looking back because in your path ahead you're bound to encounter several scenarios and objects that bring about painful nostalgic feelings.

Thanks a lot for all your comments above and your appreciation. I tried formatting the post to make it more reader friendly; the length is too much though.
Dear DifficultSoul, your writings are very inspiring and tranquilizing somehow, even your comments above. I wanted to point out one important thing that you probably missed. The girl was not thinking of going into a relationship with him at first. She was unaware of any feelings (if she even had). It is only when he tries to end their friendship by bringing in the 'relationship' issue, saying that he had feelings for her and so friendship must discontinue. As I have mentioned, the girl was fine with either friendship or a deeper relationship, because she didn't want to lose him. But he just wanted to get rid off her - he wouldn't agree to continue with friendship either.

Nice question posed. Initiative. I often lack that. There are many examples of little (seemingly insignificant to others) initiatives that I take everyday. One of them is to not give up. Another is to cope with stress/frustration/depression. I have taken several initiatives regarding some other issues but everytime my decision was been wrong. Now I have lost focus. I know what initiative I have to take next - but I am not hopeful enough. Not hopeful about whether it will lead to anything.

Glad to know your sister is well. You know what, you will never know how she was feeling when she actually believed she had the cancer - the stress she was going through. Now that it's gone, she has turned her attention to other sources of stress. It's just human nature - we sometimes just WANT some issue to dwell in.

Hi. I had a wonderful time reading your writing. It made me realise how precious my virginity is to me - something that I have strong principles about. And I am glad I am still holding onto them. I take pride in my virginity. Though I often feel very weak emotionally, I am glad that I still have the power to protect it.

Nice description Icesoul. Afternoons really can be that lovely. I've found afternoons lovelier than mornings, nights or any other time of the day because of its serenity and coolness and dim lighting. I wonder where have I lost those days when I used to enjoy these little things and have numerous but little desires.
To Icesoul - I agree, it is very tough to let the flesh win. But that's what the world wants. It wants the flesh and it's victory.

Growing Up on 2008-04-22 14:04:47 |

Realities harsh
Going harsher with time
Dawning upon an innocent gaze
Burning all desires ablaze
Leave a scar of pain
In the eyes and smile.
Innocence may cease
To be luminescent;
Innocence may still
Be very present.
But the mark of tears
And abyss of pain
Fades not, even for a while.

The shadows on me you cast
Only used to brighten my day
I lived by your shadows then
At least I had someone to say
My thoughts out aloud to.
Without revealing what
I so much wished to know
The reasons in a maze
causing squabbles in a row
Fading out even your shadow
From my life.
I live in grief,
My hopes do not glow
Even for a moment brief.
Your mere shadow
That I desired to hold onto
Simply evanesced.
Why it had to?

Hey, you have a very fascinating imagination.

When we open our eyes, we would see the opposite: darkness. People would be crossing roads with eyes closed and their feet walking backwards!

I guess you shouldn't talk to him for a while...some weeks may be; and then try contacting him again. Nudging him again and again so frequently is inflating his ego and he will not respond the way you want him to; you are just annoying him now. Give it some time.
