A lot of things are just a thought away. Words are just words. Sometimes even meaningless but a person who is emotionally charged, can take it very wrong. And it becomes worse when two such persons come together. 'Cause when one party takes it wrongly, it can escalate to a situation where there is no way to make amends. But the fact is, none of them wants it that way.
Happiness and anger can both be so short-lived when it pivots on just one thought. One can think it but not act it. Sadly but true, many are unable to do so. I too am guilty of such an act. But i guess if one holds that thought and consider about the words that are to be said, one might just find that there is no need to get angry or upset over a few words. They're just words. It's up to the receipient to decipher the meaning and add emotions to it.
Others might view such an act as being detached. But what so bad about being emotionally detached? At least one will not get hurt so easily and others might not be able to hurt you as easily as well. There's always two sides to a coin. It all depends on how you look at it. Just like a half glass of water. Whether or not it is half filled or half empty all depends on how one look at it.
One action too many...
People might try to be perfect and end up messing up everything. Is it because they lack confidence in themselves? Or is it because they are trying too hard? Are they trying to prove something? Or are they hoping for something? Hoping that they will always be irreplaceable and surpass all those before them.
Sometimes they might be faced with the cruel truth that those that they care about doesn't really understand what they need and want. And might even be told off.
When two people come together, doesn't it mean that whatever they do, they will have to spare a thought for the other? No one is an angel but then when they are told of things that they had done and the other is not really comfortable with it, don't they have to try to compromise? I guess there will never be a correct answer for all these. It's more of give and take and maybe even not having one's hopes up too high for anything at all. Like what my friend said, one should try to protect one self by telling themselves that they like the other a lot but have to try to keep their hopes low to protect themselves...but if it works out..it'd be great...*laughs* who am i kidding..when one falls in love, they will be so helplessly and hopelessly in love that they wish that what they are willing to do for the other party, the other party will receiprocate..and inadvertantly, their hopes will get higher and higher. But where do we draw the line between being possessive and hoping for too much?

Issues or lessons learntSometimes it makes one wonder why one will behave in a certain manner. Is it because there were past instances that one can relate to therefore it demands such an action to be taken or is it due to these past instances that makes one behave in such a manner that it becomes an issue?
Take for example, platonic relationships. Are there really such things as a platonic relationship? Where do we draw the line between caring and excessive concern? Who is to say which party is at fault. It can be just a simple mail or message that one party has sent to another. But the receipient reads or feels strongly about it and treasures it. Is the receipient at fault? Or the sender has underlying messages beneath what she had sent? If the sender had no intention of it, then why send the message? She could have just left it as it is. Was there a need to inform the receipient? Or did the sender want to send a message out to someone else other than the receipient? Was the other reading too much into it?
From where i stand, i see that the sender wanted to remind the receipient of something. Maybe a certain desire that the receipient had for the sender. And/or the sender wanted to know if this desire was still there. If it was, the receipient would retain the message. Whether or not the sender wanted to fulfill this desire or continue making use of the receipient like always, we do not know.
Sometimes, are people just making things complicated and confusing or is life really so? Maybe everyone should learn how to say the correct things at the correct time. Like for example, (the simplest of which) do not tell another person who is already unavailable that you like him or her. Another example would be, do not tell others who use to have desires for you of stuff such as 'i miss you', 'dreamt of you', 'hugs' and the such. Especially when this person is unavailable. You had your chance and you gave it up.
All such examples states clearly that one covets for another. As one can already see, that the person 'belongs' to another. Seeking for something or someone that does not belong to you is coveting. And if you get this person to be yours, it becomes adultery. All of which stated in the bible (in the 10 commandments if you didn't know) is a sin. And it sends you straight to hell. *laughs* That is why, i never really like a certain group of people. Since the age of 11, i've known them to be hypocrites. There may just be 1 in every 10 of them that are true and nice but that is enough to make me become a cynic. In fact, it doesn't matter which group of people they are. All religion has a thing or two about such issues. So..my final verdict? All these people should just go swim in the lake of burning sulphur and sleep in the arms of the Devil.
