Do I Really Hate Love?

Most of my friends ACCUSE me to be a MAN-HATER, but am I? How could they judge me to be that person, when in fact I love MAN! How? I have been loving all of the chaps in my life, from those who are a member of my family to my relatives and up to my friends. There was never that,” hating a guy action.” Maybe they are the one who’s defining LOVE WRONG. I would assume that they are always relating LOVE with an intimate relationship towards the opposite sex. Right?! That reason always alienates me with their narrow definition towards love. For me LOVE can be defined in many ways. Love can be expressed in different ways. When you say you LOVE… LOVE, then you can say that you are willing to sacrifice and submit yourself to pain. When I have friends that hurt me and I willingly forgive and LOVE back, does that qualify with the general description about LOVE? So I’d say that I don’t hate LOVE. When there are random individual who needs my help, I freely reach out to them to help. Is that not an expression of LOVE? ADORE, FOND, WORSHIP, CARE, LIKE, DEVOTE… whatever synonym there is to relate with LOVE should be freely given expression to. So will you still say I HATE LOVE?

Some Needs

 

All along our wee lives we’ve been fed with different things that we should have, as influenced by the media. As infants, the media’s influence merely reflects on our parents yearning towards the “MUST HAVES” for their tot. She should have a stroller, with matching baby outfit, branded baby bottles etc. As she grows old and her preference towards things has been developed, she then yearns for something that she thinks or induced to need. From signature tops, shoes, bags and everything that’s trendy. Furthermore, the prevalence of newly introduced gizmos redirects that individual’s idea towards her needs. And now she will opt to have a laptop, palm top, blackberry, ipod, psp and all sorts of gadgets ever made to wear us off with cash.

Conversely, as that individual age, all of those “TECHY” stuffs turns into a “real must have,” in the sense that, instead of wanting an IPOD, she now needs a hearing aid for her to at least appreciate the sound around her. Instead of wanting to have a laptop, she would want to have her eyes repaired or at least have high quality eyeglasses. Instead of wanting a car, she would care to have crutches, cane or even a wheelchair. There are also things that they should save for, some of these things are: (1) glucometer with lancet, for those who are diabetic (2) portable nebulizer, for those who are asthmatic (3) subclavian shunt, for those who have nephrotic problems and those whose creatinine is sky high (4) jacksonprat or penrose drain, for those who are suffering from hemorrhages and whose bleeding needs to be drained (5) oxygen tank with oxygen mask, for those whose lungs are not working well etc…

Lastly, what we need in life is often times influenced by our age. When we are still young, we tend to get obsessed with shallow entities, but as we grow older we tend to dig deeper to what really is a necessity in order to prolong our lives.
