Distal or Proximal? Virtual or Real? There is this saying that I heard from my mom before; "mas mainam na ang piso sa bulsa kaysa sa sampung nasa alapaap pa." ( better to have a peso in your pocket than 10 pesos in the clouds) My mother is obviously not a gambler and neither do I but life specially relationship is a gamble, isn't it? If you don't take risk in this relationship gambling how will you win? Specially in this virtual world, the cyber era. Lets take a hypothetical example, let us say you are in a long distance relationship, this is your ideal person and the relationship is going well albeit virtually. There is no certainty that this relationship will become proximal. This is your "10 peso relationship" that you hang on and gamble to. You gamble to it everyday like you will bet on lotto every week hoping that one day you will be together and live happily ever after. How long can one wait for this dream to come true? Then you meet another person, he is not the perfect match but he is there within your reach, you can touch, you can smell, you can feel. He is present in flesh, in your room not in your computer or phone or camera. This is your "1 peso" relationship. Will you gamble on this one and make it happy, together forever ? Of course, majority will like a 10, proximal and real relationship but if we have to choose between the two only, which one will you go for? The real one peso or the virtual 10? Oh, maybe I should just bet on lotto I probably have a better chance of winning?   “Use the quotation for the occasion; do not make an occasion for the quotation.” |

Thanks Mae Ann for your thoughts. I agree there are many factors. Sigh, why can't it be just simple. “Use the quotation for the occasion; do not make an occasion for the quotation.”
