When Should Like Turn Into Love? ...It's a crazy world! People are looking for something they really do not need...Love somebody they couldn't live with, and Like someone they couldn't love.  ...Both Man and Woman wrote their profile, stating what and what not. ...They became buddies, and continued to communicate. ...He found someone really nice, but life with her was against all odds. ...She found someone really sweet, but life with him was against all odds. ...He broke up with her, She broke up with him. ...Till one day, these two buddies met, with casual hi's and hello's, shared a bit of what each had gone through, gave each other an advice or two. ...He went back and checked her profile, and so did she. ...To their amazement, they couldn't believe that their profile were a perfect match. ...When they met again, each tried to feel if spark is about to happen...It didn't, because shame and embarrassament has already taken its place. ...Now, they both realized just how foolish they both have been. ...Looking way beyond the boundaries, when so near, things were just looking in. ********************************************************** ~Oftentimes, we ignore the beauty of the flowers in our frontyards, because we often tend to think that there are better produce` on the other side of the fence.~ Yes, life is a choice. Most of the time we choose to LOVE despite knowing that someday it's gonna fade and fail, rather than to LIKE, hoping that someday, we're gonna fall in LOVE and be successful.   ELZ  |

Hey there Marie!...But isn't it really true? I'm sure, it happens in your own circle of friends..And now, I'm thinking back..In the past 8 years or so, how many opportunities did I let go, (of course, in the real world)unmindful or not paying attention to the wonderful offers of love and relationships, only because I was looking for LOVE to sprout first? ELZ

It's bad enough to be too practical or rational about relationships, but it is worse when at the beginning it's all about our emotions, despite the screaming truth that in all indications, this thing we called "LOVE" is going nowhere because of all the odds. ELZ

LIKE vs. LOVE (based on the above given story) I will associate that with cooking...(this is just my own idea) LIKING is when you have all the right ingredients, but you have no desire to cook. LOVING is when you have all the desire to cook, but you don't have the right ingredients.... ELZ

The moral lesson derived from the story? This may sound funny to some, but you know what? When you have all the right ingredients, you might as well COOK, because eventually, you will have to starve. (I can't help being so metaphoric here) ELZ

Dee, You are absolutely right. Thanks for the chat last night. I have forgotten all about myself. And let things go bad. Pampering here I come. The word missing from this topic is "insync". When all the right combination begins to click at the right moment in time. We just settle for something. And not really look for the better things in life. We try to play it safe. But, always gets our heart broken, because of all the wrong combination. What happens when we do find all that we're looking for at last. There's a definite twist. We aren't really happy and go complaining again for a better one. I think that's how life is... When has somebody really said in life, "I should have work more dear" or "I should have spent more time with my family". The later is true for most people and taking that big risk in life. There's no dress rehearsals in life. You either ready or not. Here it comes...

But you see, Tess, it all comes to a point that our choices are really what is causing us our failures and disappointments, because most of the time, we already knew more than likely what was coming, and dancing "alone" in the ballroom is making it worse, because like they say, it takes two to tango, and if only one person iw making an effort to make things work..there goes the failure. That is why, for me, at this point...Liking is the better option, for as long as the rest of the ingredients are there. it'll be a lot easier to compromise. ELZ

MARIE

Wow! this is a very inspiring post from you Cat...And this is very true and is very relevant to what I am actually trying to convey here..But people choose to be blind, deaf and insensitive most of the times...And may I add, prefers to be stupid...That is why, there was this joke from an old friend of mine: "Why do mankind keep on praying for someone to love them or for them to love, and when that person comes...THEY REJECT him/her and again, ask for someone else?...Are they trying to confuse God?"...People are mostly ungrateful for the gifts given them, and unappreciative for the wonderful graces given upon them..

Dancing alone in a ballroom isn't fun. Yes, i've realized that. The wrong choices made throughout our lives makes for failures. But, for every failures there's bound to be that one success. And I'm looking forward to that... God bless!
