Man what a freakin day. Woke up in good mood, read something on facebook that put me in a bad mood, went back to sleep, then got ass handed to me at work yet again. Lol. Interesting day. If you have ever worked in a kitchen before then you know that one of the worst things that can happen is for the hostesses to seat just about every table in the restaraunt at the exact same time. Food orders hit the kitchen and its balls to the walls for the next hour or so, depending on the volume of guests waiting to be seated. It happened tonight and we struggled hardcore to keep up. So yea its kicking my ass but im loving every second of it. Ok thats a lie. it can really suck ass sometimes but it goes with the territory. Rather walk in the door and be like "hey mike, welcome to work, here's your ass. Have fun!" LoL. then be bored for the entire night, cuz if the kitchen is bored that means the restaraunt aint making money. So thats my litte spill on that. Thank you for letting me vent. lol.
While on my way to work i found myself thinking. Wasnt really like thinking specifically about anything just kinda chillaxing before i made it to work. While meditating the thought occured to me that love isnt really guarenteed. The title is what came to me and it sorta grabbed my attention and I knew that when I got off of work i was gonna have to explore the thought even more. I was thinking about my past relationships and possible future ones, mainly the theme being that being chosen by the one i desire is not a guarentee. I could move heaven and earth to show my affections, but nothing is written in stone saying that she would still choose me. I would obviously hope that she would do so one day but its part of life that things will not always go the way you want them to, regardless of what you do. Truth is we arent entitled to anything. Nothing is really ours by sheer fact that we are alive and so we have to act on what we desire to have in our lives, with the courage and understanding that we wont always get what we want. Sometimes we dont even know what we want but have an idea and so we act on that.
You see, death and taxes, those are guarentee's. Regardless of what you do, you will eventually have to pay taxes. Uncle Sam is very good at reminding you of this fact and yet he seems like the wierd uncle who only comes around when he needs something. freaking pricks. LOL. So like taxes, death is also a guarentee. No matter how much we try to live longer, eventually we all will die. No way around it, or if there is no one has lived to share the secret. So in life we do have some guarentees, but i dont feel as though love is one of them. Some may argue that love is natural and that everybody is loved by someone. I challenge that. What about the aborted child who has never seen the light of day? They were loved? Every person is loved because every person is someone's child. Not true. What about the child who lives in a broken home with a cracked out mother who beats them and a father who beats their mother for beating them. They are loved? Show me. What about the homeless guy on the street who has no family left alive? Is he guarenteed love. We could spend our lives searching and changing and growing, but never finding love, particularly that love from the opposite sex. Our "soul mate." so maybe i could extend the title to say "true love, unlike death and taxes....not a guarentee." We could easily die without finding our true love, and for a hopeless romantic type like myself, thats a tough pill to swallow.
So everyone is loved????
Sometimes I wonder if human beings still understand the concept of love. We live our lives to satisfy us and for the most part thats it. We do things for others, but isnt there always an underlying motive that in some way, shape, or form, we have selfish motives. Not saying that if we seek to meet our own natural needs that we are not loving. In most cases us taking care of ourselves is one of the greatest things we can do for those we "love." Just thinking that if the world is as screwed up as it is right now, with lust being the primary drive disquised as love in everyone's heart, then the argument that love is not guarenteed seems to be pretty strong and has many examples on which to stand and show its validity.
Its 3am and im smoke ass tired. So keep it realz and leave some feedback. Im always up for a good discussion.
