Love...

It's an excuse for the reproduction of human species...

Many of you will think that I'm being too cynical here... But after all the damage I've seen that is done on the expense of love... You can't blame me on for being so skeptical... Pro-love supporters will claim that because there's so much sweetness in love, that's why there's so much hurt involve...

Personally, I don't buy it... If this is the case... Then I would rather do WITHOUT this so-called sweetness...

Recently, I've came across this case...

After 20 odd years of union, the man found out from an outsider that the woman that was sleeping beside him all these years turned out to be so different from the one that he thought he knew... Realised the betrayals and ultimate truths that she has been hiding from him all these years... All the stuffs she has done unto him without his knowledge... Given any sane man... He would have flared up and left her... This man didn't... He didn't confront her... All he said was " I've been a fool for these 10 years"... He hasn't left her... Yet...

Was it love? Or was it the thought of living a life without her... The fear of changing unchanged... I don't know... However, no matter what is the reason behind it... At the end of the day... I'm just going to blame it on love...

It's a powerful tool... Many had use it as an excuse to hurt the one they so-claim love... Intentionally or unintentionally? I don't care!! The harm has done... It's the same concept as mending the broken vase or nailing the nail into the fence and taking it out again... The scar has been inflicted...

And guess what... Such harm not only affect the direct party... Those who are near are also being affected... Sometimes, they wound more than the victim themselves... Reason? Because they do not have the stand to scream and shout out their grievances... And not only do they have to bottle up their feelings... They have to be THERE for the wounded... Constantly... Why? Because given that they have gone through all these alone... They know that the journey to recovery is a long and tedious one... Thus, they know the importance of companionship along the way...

Therefore, NEVER underestimate the ones beside you... Sometimes, they love you more than the ONE, you thought... Though they can't give you the sweetness that the ONE gave you... But... They can give you the comfort you need when you are most wounded...

Love?? Arrgh... It's for those who hasn't reach "Nirvana"... A game for fools... An excuse to hurt someone...
