WIP - Mind
This mind,
This insane little gift;
God thinks is a makeshift
in hopes that we believe
good is what we want to achieve.
He must have known better
than to present such matter
to the minds of the lesser
because it's only human nature
to stray away from this clutter.
I think, after much considering (actually not really), it hit me that love does make the world go round (square, triangle, oval etc). in all levels and expectations. What makes love not go around is because of our perceptions; refused to see it in a bigger picture and only insist it the way we want it to be.
No wonder no one truly get the idea of what love can potentially change in us.
Do I have to be in a romantic relationship to understand this concept? No. But that's how things have been hasn't it? Misconstrued the concept of love in general. Many of us would take it to context that it would link back to something romantic. Then again, I like to romanticise life. I simply like to add colour into what is already given. In other words, take what I have and make it as my own, the best it can ever be for that very moment.
I have relationships with many different people in different forms. I have a relationship like no other with life. I have relationships with family, friends, acquaintances, nature, the world and The One Above. It all takes a different life, a different route..personalised each to their own.
Some are nerve wrecking, some are motivating, elevating and interesting. Life changing to say the least. Others are just.. just not worth mentioning. But they are all relationships nonetheless.
Take the good and leave the bad.
There are so many things to learn by living and to make it half as easy, we learn from other people. The way they perceive their lives, experiences and keep in mind what you should look out for. Of course, to be able to go through it on our own would make us understand the ordeals but I don't think any of us have eternity to simply go through every single one of it.
That's why I love to listen. Listen to the stories of others. Listen to the kind of events that had happened to them and highlight what makes it so special, so important that they want to share it with the world. There has to be something I can learn from it since we have crossed path.
Everything happens for a reason. Every miniscule of it.
He wouldn't intend to do something without a reason. Even as simple as a rainbow appearing in the sky. It's just to say that cherish the rare moments.
I believe life is simple. We humans make it complicated.
It's complicated to be simple. That's almost a fact on it's own. Why almost? Because it's all in our mind. If we really want it, want the simplicity of truly living, we can ultimately have it - with one condition: live it.
The mind is the single most powerful yet weakest link in us all. With it, you can do it all. Without it, you find aggravation in completing anything.
So how does this all lead to love makes the world go round?
It simply does. When we love ourselves, each other among people, nature & God - I don't think we have much to battle on.
Without love, everything in life is dead. Or seems like it's dead.
Secretly, I wish to die surrounded by books and cds in a room overlooking the ever blooming (secret) garden as the sun shines through the glass panels that frames the world.
I told you I have a thing for romanticising life ;)
