And now here it is... 8pm. I haven't even seen you since 6:30 this morning and you obviously think that spending time with me is less important that whatever you are doing now. It's not that I'm mad, just hurt. I really thought that your husband would be of more value than that. I guess not.
Hot -> Cold.
Love -> Hate.
Light -> Dark.
I was once told that acceptance is the best way to deal with the heartaches of life. When the woes come (and they will) brace yourself with the power of acceptance. Bring yourself closer to Love with Hate and Light with Dark.
Have you noticed that there is a night light in the bathroom? A light that seems nonexistent when you enter from the bright light of day, but that blinds in the early hours of the morning. I have to wonder if this same contextuality would hold true with love... it certainly does with hot. If you move your hand from an ice bucket into luke warm water it will feel very hot.
I'm asking this: If you remove yourself from a world of love, would an ounce of hate seem like a pound? And would a pound of love seem like an ounce? Could a two inch blade make a two foot cut?
Would love then feel the same? Would it hurt the same? Would harsh words still feel like a dagger, piercing even the hardest of hearts? Would no one care enough to right the wrong, fix the broken, heal the sick?
Long long ago, in a place untainted by the disgust of the rich and uncomplicated by the prejudice of man, lived a child as pure as the cane and as clean as a clear blue sky. A child that was more than he was suppose to be. Stronger, smarter, faster. A child that knew no bounds and was free to stretch the limits. And now look at me.
