You like that play on words, huh? No, I don't think love is evil, per say, but it IS a highly dangerous emotion…
People have maimed, murdered, and killed (themselves, other people, and the object of their affection)…so, WHY am I in a rush to get summa that??
Because I'm pretty confident that I'm not a freak of nature, and that I won't resort to such lengths to show my love…
…a back rub, dinner, or a poem will do.
There are psychological studies that prove that you never know what you'll do until you're in a particular situation…so, that being said, although I may think I'm pretty normal, I may just have a distant cousin named Lizzie Borden. I'm just saying. lol
There is definitely a fine line between love and infatuation, and insanity can shove that into obsession…
Damn, let me say that again!
"There is definitely a fine line between love and infatuation, and insanity can shove that into obsession…"
Ok, so I had to quote myself twice. This is the reason why you have to be delicate when dealing with someone's feelings; treat them like fragile pieces of ancient art. If you are careless, then it can turn into that second sentence up there…
Or, even further, be careful who you entertain. More often than not there are red flags being thrown on the play, and going ignored. Thoughts of changing a person or hoping they're going through a "phase" cross the minds of the hopeful, but I am reminded of a famous quote by Dr. Maya Angelou:
"When someone shows you who they are, BELIEVE THEM."
Truer words have never been spoken. I don't mean to scare anyone from the thought of love. I'm sure love can be the most wonderful feeling in the world; as a matter of fact, if people loved more, this world would be a better place. Seriously. I'm just saying LOVE RESPONSIBLY. People do NOT come with pause buttons, switches, battery packs, artificial intelligence, or rewinds. What you say/do is permanence. You may be forgiven, but your actions are never forgotten. Don't be somebody's strait jacket or stray tear.
People are not puppets, so don't play with them; cut the strings and move on. I cannot stress this enough.
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"…The Golden Rule never fails.
One ♥
