the FINAL closing statements

If my previous post were running for the elctions, it will be a nuisance candidate. I have to concede the fact that the vast majority of the people today will definitely disagree with the message the afforementioned post brings, as it basically shatters the very foundation of the thing they call love. Apparently, you need to feel something in order to deduce that you are in love. Admittedly, I have to say that is legitimate. To love by sheer force is foolish as they all say. Or is it really?

People, let us wear our thinking caps for a while and remember the first time we fell in love. We all felt woozy, we all felt weird, we all felt attracted. Our heart beats so fast, we write poems, we cringe upon hearing sentimental music and we simply crumble in front of our love. We can't contain our emotions. We can't sleep, we can't eat (properly..hehe), we can't think straight. All the while, the image of that one love fills your brain with cherry blossoms from paradise. Everytime we are with that love, we hear Spongecola singing Neon (err, that's the song playing as I type this post..hehe). We can't help it but stare at the person all day long. When the opportunity comes to talk to the person, we stumble, we stutter but still do everything to grab that opportunity. Then comes D-day, when we finally confess what we really feel. There can only be two outcomes: 1.) S/he says yes or 2.) S/he says no. Either way, we feel an overwhelming amount of emotion that floors us with its incredible power. We are now convinced that love is forever. As the days turn to weeks, the weeks turn to months, the months turn to years, we find ourselves looking at the mirror, counting the new strands of facial hair that has grown (or what was left of it) anew on our faces. We blink once, twice. We stare blankly at our reflection. We look at the empty bed beside us. Yes, we are alone. Lonely. Whatever happened to the love we said that was undying, imortal, forever? We thought it will never leave us. Then what the hell just happened? The feeling faded, so therefore the love is lost. And what's left is a miserable life longing for a purpose.

No, I won't participate in the elections because i was disqualified. The other candidate won convincingly. But, can we really say that we have really loved?

Can we look at our partner and admit to him/her that we loved them for their good sides and purposely ignored the other side?

Can we scream to the world that we are in love even if we're not engulfed in the arms of of our dreampartner?

Can we whisper words of deep affection to our partner even if we are not feeling like doing so?

Of course we can't. We have to have feelings. Since love is an emotion, we have to feel it to really say we are in love.

No, we can't love the other side so we pretend it's not there when in fact it's bothering you so much.

No, we can't scream to the world because we are stuck with a person who ou don't even know.

No, we can't whisper words of love if our partner did not rub our backs or nibble our ears.

Question: Is this post trying to convince you to abandon your old perspective about love?
Answer: Maybe. It is up to you if you would do so.

Next Question: What if the feeling is gone? Do you abandon the partner and waste the memories, struggles, and lessons learned?
Answer: Up to you.

Please. For your own good. Don't love for the sake of emotions alone. Because the feeling that you have in your heart, it will subside. Then you are left to decide if you'll continue to love or not.

ZIPCODE: Emotions exist. The measure of their intensity however, depends on our own intervention.

PONDERPOINT: Recall PP1 on my previous post. Then ask yourself. What happens if the "love" is gone? Do you search for it again?

"You can't find it, but it will knock before you when you least expect it to come."
PP2: What if it didn't come?
