One for All? All for One?

April 21, 2009

“Love can Overcome All Obstacles.” (Sounds great)
But One Obstacle is Enough to Hinder it.
Isn’t it?

Idealism?
Or
Scepticism? or Cynicism? or Realism?

The more
We should treasure it…

    During wars or natural disasters, the death tolls reflected on the newspaper escalated day by day. To us, the figures are merely just some numbers. But to their beloved, each death means tremendous grief and upset.

    To fall in and out of love.

    To life and death.

    Each plays a very impt factor in our life.

    A million deaths may be counted as a statistic but to each and anybody related to, will be utterly affected.

    Idealistic love= Romanticism (anything that goes under that. haha)
    Sceptic love= infatuation, love a first sight, crush, puppy love.
    Cynical love= love for personal advantages
    Realism= perfect love (from God), familial love, platonic love.

    P.S: Love is one of the greatest mysteries of life. Paradoxical in general.

    “Love can Overcome All Obstacles.”
    Yup, i do believes it can. As it did happened.
    But it doesn’t mean it will be happily ever after.
    However, every moment are being treasured.
    When U look/think back, is it worthwhile after all?

    “But One Obstacle is Enough to Hinder it.”
    Depends on what type of obstacle it is.
    It can be a cause to make this love stop growing…

    If the love is not strong enough, even just a simple obstacle can hinder it…

    I totally believe it because it does happened to some people
    We should treasure every moment of our life because life only once so live it…

    “But One Obstacle is Enough to Hinder it.”
    Its must depends on which obstacle it is

    But i think if the love is strong enough nothing can get in the way

    True Love never dies,its only get stronger…

    Just take a look at the funeral short clip produced by mcys.

    No one is perfect. We should treasure the beautiful imperfections.

    “Love can Overcome All Obstacles”? Sounds so cliché. Wishful thinking.

    “But One Obstacle is Enough to Hinder it” – Agree, especially if the love is not strong and the obstacle is difficult.

    “A million deaths is a statistic” – This is a cold, heartless description. How the death occurred would justify – is it just a statistic? or should it be a cause of concern?

    Not all deaths are wrongful.
    For those that are, they are tragedies regardless the number.

    The last phrase is very true…
    “A single death is a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic.”
    It may be easy to do statistics in Maths, haha, but true enough just a single death, especially when someone sround us left us, it may be a lifelong sadness and regretfulness.
    Ya talking about LOVE…
    Love has got many aspects…
    Who says valentine’s day is for a spouse?
    Wrong man…
    It is the show of love to everyone in this world.
    The priceless one…

    Just a few weeks away, my counselor talk about: POWER OF LOVE during assembly
    Everybody laughs.. Including me
    I found it very funny at first…
    However, I feel that
    Hey, that’s true…
    We must show POWER OF LOVE!!!(In Malay slang)
    PAAWEre of LEEFE

    grasping the concept of realism is often “mis-understood” by others to be pessimism. Doesn’t it work that way many a times?
