About every movie that you see today, Hollywood love is depicted in it. Boy meets girl (or vice versa), they get to know each other better or randomly hook up, some big event presents a challenge to them, and either they are happily ever after or end it. Is there not a movie where it doesn't just end there? Do they not have something to show that that whole scenario just continues? I've figured out that if I taped my life, there would be no movie. Just a tape that plays to the climax of where everything is so perfect and happy and everything is working out only to freeze up, crackle, and start back at the O.K. beginning. It never ends! This stupid movie (my life) has just repeated itself over and over and over and over again and I'm wondering if there is ever going to be anything different? I wish for something different! Dear Jesus, just please help me out here some, I can't keep re-living the same parts! Stupid wish. Who would have thought it would come true? So here I am, a little over 10 months later, and wondering what the heck did I make a stupid wish like that for? The answer? So I would meet him. Never in my life.. I'm at a loss for words. Actually, that's my answer. Never in my life has somebody made me at a loss for words.
A man and a woman are soon to be married, and the priest asks them,"why are you with each other?" The man turns to the woman, eyes wide and a deer in the headlights look is on his face. The woman puts her hand on his knee and with a reassuring smile, she turns to the priest and says, "Because I love him." The man, thinking this is the obvious answer turns to the priest, a smile now present on his face and nods his head up and down vigorously. The priest takes in their expressions, their body language, the obvious love between them, and knows that they will be truly happy together. However, he questionizes them again. "Yes.... Why do you love him? For obvious reasons I suppose... Caring, honest, loving, attractive. Those are signs of what connections families have with one another though. And I take it you wouldn't want to marry your brother? Or sister eh? So tell me, besides all of the typical mumbo-jumbo, what really draws you into one another? Why do you love this man? And this woman? What connections do you share, and show, one another that you do not show anybody else?".
I came up with this story one day when in a deep thinking mood and when I was asking myself those exact same questions. And you'll be surprised by how long and hard you have to think to come up with any answers. You can say love. But I also love my dog, so that's scratched out. You can say caring, but I also care for all of my friends so that's scratched out. It takes some extraordinary thought, but if you come up some answers, the results are extraordinary as well.
