Thoughts on love and forgiveness

I thought about the following sentence. It's so easy to fall in love; It's hard to stay in love.

I definitely was in a situation where I think I was attracted to someone. It happens so often, right? But that's all there is to it--attraction. Whether it is sustained is up to me.

Why should I pursue something that has no future?

Anyway, I lost my train of thought. I lost my argument. Maybe because this is all hypothetical; this has never happened to me before.

I never have to sustain love.

But I definitely have thoughts on second chances. I realized that I didn't love someone because I didn't give him anything beyond a second chance.

If I loved him, I would have given him more chances. If I loved him, emotions would have overcame logic. But that didn't happen, did it?

That's why I couldn't blame people who are crazy in love. They chose feelings over logic. Nothing wrong with that. It's their choice.

I also have some thoughts on forgiveness. I do not forgive easily. I do eventually but not right away. No one can force me to forgive. But if I do forgive, it just happens naturally.

The anger just fades away.

Anyway, those are my thoughts on love and forgiveness.

I can't finish watching Laggies...

Why am I bothered by Laggies ? So much so that I don’t like finishing it? I guess the main character is about to make wrong decisions. And that gives me anxiety. I’m screaming at the screen, “No! Don’t do that”. But of course, they still do. Of course. I already know how this is gonna end. Why does it bother me so much when technically she’s not doing anything wrong? Oh yes, she’s gonna hurt her fiance when she inevitably breaks off their engagement. And? I don’t know. As I said, I don’t like it when characters make wrong decisions. She’s running away because she discovered that her father is having an affair. And instead of confronting him, she’s living with a teenager and her dad. And of course, she’s gonna fall in love with the dad. Predictable. I guess I just don’t like it when I don’t have control over things. The question is: will my worrying ever change the outcome? No. Definitely not. It’s all predetermined. But why am I worried on behalf of the main character? Even if she...

Anthem by Ayn Rand: Individualism vs Collectivism (reaction pre-pandemic)

I read Anthem by Ayn Rand before the pandemic happened. So my thoughts and opinions are not colored by people's reaction to the pandemic (e.g. anti-maskers). First off, I disagree with Ms. Rand's over-arching thesis that selfishness is always good. Too much individuality has made me feel alienated from other people. The best feelings that I had are when I feel connected to other people. The following quote resonated with me because I'm usually secretive with my thoughts and opinions. I don't share my thoughts freely that's why i have a private twitter account. It is a sin to write this. It is a sin to think words no others think and to put them down upon a paper no others are to see. It is base and evil. It is as if we were speaking alone to no ears but our own. But according to the "document, don't create" philosophy you should share to the world your progress and don't just keep it to yourself. You might as well get constructive feedback and mee...
