The Reason

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support,
to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Controversial Post 001
Contrary to popular belief, I do not think that sex is just plain and pure pleasure, though I also think that there is nothing wrong with enjoying it. It goes deeper than that, to an extent with which I can’t describe in words but I suppose that if you think about it after reading this… you may understand what I’m putting through. Marriage is but an act by law, or by religion, if you must. It is a vow that you make to show others that you truly love the person and want to share your life with her (I’m a guy). But please note, that this is but “a show of love”. It is an action to prove, not to yourself, but to others that this person here, signing this piece of paper, is the person you want to be with. To me, marriage is but an act of display. To love, you don’t need to show the world, but only to the girl next to you. Pre-marital sex, perhaps I am the only who thinks so, is acceptable. Because when you commit to that act, at that point of time, you truly love that person (well, not including those who do it only for fun). It is like… a bond between you and the person you love. You don’t need to show the world you love the person THEN have sex with her. You just need to show the person that you love her there and then. To me, sex is the proof of love, not those vows you make in front of everyone, not that piece of paper you sign and not that ring you put on the girl’s hand. Because all these are but a show of love, only the act of giving yourself up, both mind and body, do you truly love; encompassing the phrase: “Love is all about giving”. But please do not condemn me so soon, for I did not say those acts above are insignificant. They are, truly, but I believe that sex is the most significant. Think of it as an order of things; the three acts above that will eventually lead to sex. Normally, or rather most of you think; that the three acts should be done first and then it accumulates up to sex. But… if you already had sex, the three acts don’t really matter anymore. They suddenly become either inevitable (for those who truly love) or immaterial (for those…). Sex is not everything of course, Love is. But I suppose there is no better way to show love than through sex (when I mean show, I mean showing it only to the person you love). Hence, pre-marital sex or post-marital sex, it doesn’t matter to me. As long as the girl feels loved, as long as I feel loved in return, then I suppose nothing else matters. Love is, by most accounts, irrational. I hope that some of you get my picture after all this I’ve said. Now there are definitely flaws in what I wrote. But then again, nobody’s perfect.
I suppose some of you might hate me for this~ thesoupistooid~
