Vindictive Love....



When one experiences hurt, sometimes s/he has no ability to cope with it. There is a tendency to be spiteful, to take revenge, to purposely hurt back, to be resentful. But the sad part of it is that the desire to avenge from that painful experience is to hurt the "innocent", someone who is not directly involved with whatever ill feelings one is experiencing. In short, someone's got to be punished, somehow.. Is this fair?...Who cares? Someone's got to pay! No matter how much it'll cost that person...

I've heard tons of stories of women (mostly) who were wooed by men, and once they're swept off their feet in "love", the same men just "leave", with lots of alibis or without notice...Can you relate to this?

I've been enveloped with the fear of experiencing the same, so much so that I created a "wall" to protect myself from this misfortune. I was pretty close to ending up with it a couple of times in different situations (or so, I thought). But it is said that the walls we build around us to protect us from being sad and hurt, are the same walls that prevent us from experiencing the joys..And I guess, that is also true..

I was advised many times NOT to be too analytical. " Feelings are not supposed to be logical. Dangerous is the wo/man who keeps rationalizing his/her emotions. "

It is said that " All Is Fair In Love and War "...Let's not be vindictive..

The lessons learned from pain & hurt may be the hardest but they are probably the most important ones because it builds character.
If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to who you open your heart to.
One way to get over pain is to keep oneself busy doing right and feeling good about it knowing that it's the best thing to do, rather than being busy doing (or even thinking) wrong.

When I low my friends et al give me energy.

Yanie, my dear...I do know that falling in love can be "emotionally" costly (to others, it can be a pain in the pockets too ), and depending on how much we risk each time, is also the higher possibility of being happy in the end, or else, there can only be a downward trend...

Well said, Stacy.....For me, being hurt doesn't mean hating the person..For what? the act of hating will deprive me of being happy. I sure will NOT give any man the satisfaction of seeing/knowing that I am hurt, hateful, and feeling down just because he had wronged me...No! On the contrary, I will even be thankful that things ended the way they did because I deserve something or someone a lot better...Besides, there is no room for hatred in my heart...It'll make me look older than my age...

May I share with you a secret, Joyce?..Actually, there was/is (make a wild guess) this special feeling that I hold or reserve in my heart, but it is very unique in a way that I wasn't/isn't expecting anything in return...Probably that's love?..NOT that kind of love I felt strongly long time ago...But my heart is very capable of loving...truly..

Uuyy uuyyy Hmmmm do I hear Elz singing
Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make up a sound

I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now

Vindictive love bring it on, eye 4 an eye baby

Well just a word of advice to all you sistahs out there specially the ones that seems to be caught up in the vicious cycle of being swept of your feet and then at the end find yourself being dropped like a ton of bricks or drowing in sorrows. Putting up a wall temporarily may not be a bad idea while you asses where you are in life.

Walls will keep things out but will also limited your horizon. And so true that feelings are not supposed to be logical, specially when it comes to considering a partner. So if you are being to analytical about a person or the type of relationship you will have then you really are not into him/her the first place. As we all know love has no logic!

If loving you is wrong...
I don't want to be right
If being right means living without you
I'd rather live wrong than right

Elz,

What i've learn since facing this crisis at the moment. What's the use of being vindictive. Everyone should just really chill and not ask for revenge or what have you to the other party. Because Karma does really happen. When you make someone really sad. Watch out. Life is too short to carry grudges, bitterness, and pain.
Just be glad God gave us the life of breathing. And the most important thing is to be alive and spread the love around...

[I God is pure love...

Choose Not to Stay in Pain. They say this is “self-empowerment.” You can either be bitter about the pains and feel very powerless. Or you can do something and feel powerful enough to handle them. It’s a choice to live with or without pain.

Tess, I know what you mean..Eh di nga ba, I enjoy life to the fullest now? Why should I fret about something that cannot be fulfilled? Why force someone to love you? or why force yourself to love someone you cannot stomach to see even the face? Ahhh! there are just too many things to enjoy and be thankful in this life..Have a nice day, Tess! Give me a call today, if you have time...I'm off..

My dear, it takes a lot for a man to admit being hurt, and my kudos to you...And I do believe that in "love" we're not supposed to be "logical", and for that reason, we tend to be "blind"...Maybe, I am one of the exceptions (in several occasions, and I cannot tell for sure that each time we fall in love, we fall for the wrong person...But, I guess, when two people fail to work things out, they tend to say "it's not meant to be" and make that as an all time high "excuse"...Am I right? or am I right?
