| two points for honesty. |
it finally happened.
Our singapore office hosts our internet and email access for the office and after almost two months, they included my blog in the sites that are forbidden. Aw shucks. So now i can only write and post when i get home. Oh well. Leaves me more focus time though. I guess it's all for the best.
Anyway, today I got to watch yet another chick flick...well, supposedly all romantic comedies or romcoms are unfairly called that but we can't help it - we love these movies! no matter how much i adore action films, art films etc. i'll always have a small soft spot for the sappy shit. I personally like to watch this with my girlfriends because we are the only ones who can gush and giggle at the absurdities of the hopeless and hopeful.
So i found another cliche-in-the-making line: i'd rather fight with you than make love to somebody else.
insane right? but illogically true for most of us who are in relationships that seem destined to doom or better yet...cling on to hope for that one good day that will make every fight disintegrate.
but before you think that it's deficient of all reason, there is a little glimmer of it. It's just a matter of comparison. Use your imagination. Between fighting with someone every day, would it really be much better not to have anyone to care about to fight with? Or make a contrast between that and being with someone else - there is the possibility of less fights or possibly new ones. It is just a personal assignment on the weight of these considerations. And the one that presents the greater value is the decision you've made.
Whenever someone tells me he or she wants to break up with their partner, i always ask them one question: what made you fall in love with them in the first place? and for whatever answer they give, i ask again: is it still a part of them? still inherent in who they are? if yes, then you need to think about your decision more. if not, then i would suggest they lean towards the other untreaded path.
 And as angie said to me last week - love isn't everything. but it should be the basis for everything. if it's not there, nothing else can exist. But if it is, then it's worth fighting for.
