Shooting Stars, Falling Objects

Oh! The games people play! We have all heard or perhaps experienced our fair share of love affairs that started out with so much hope and reciprocity only to end up in smoke & ashes for one reason or another. Everyone’s situation is unique so passing judgment is a foolish venture, but I have to admit, men (sorry fellas) are largely to blame (although women aren’t too far behind in the blame department!).

The notion of “men are from Mars/Women from Venus” has some elements of truth in it as it appears that we see & experience things differently on many levels. Studies on the brains of men and women have proven this. For example, men rank good looks and facial attractiveness more important than women do, whereas women rank honesty, humor, kindness and dependability more important than men do. Men cheat more than women do not because of love, but because of sex. Some women cheat because of sex, but mostly they cheat because of the aforementioned factors (kindness, humor, etc). What I have learned is that the golden key to any relationship is compromise. Conceptually easy to understand, but damn hard to execute as so many factors come into play (class & cultural differences, education & experience, etc)which tend to lean more towards antagonistic contradictions (hell). But what I find lacking in most folks is the art of compromise or sacrifice. It’s as if no one wants to give up his/her selfish desires/inclinations & simply attempt to sweep stuff under the rug (which is why most relationships fail).

I am no “relationship expert” (as those so-called experts with all the answers break up themselves!), but I do know that what are absolute “musts” in any relationship are gut-bucket honesty and no-frills communication every step along the way. Oh sure, feelings will get hurt sometimes, but would you prefer to live in a happy lie or a painful truth? If you answer the former, your ass is doomed.

Your Love Is Black – Kaskade

Look out to the calm sea

I don’t know why that I
Want to cry when I feel this high

Nature seems to know me
So many times She’s been below me
And so I sit and we dream
As my soul She tries to lift

Seems I lost my way last night
But I was reborn by daylight
Seems I get another chance
Another chance to dance away
Now you bring your loving back
But don’t you know your love is black
But now you’re here pouring in the dark
Because you can’t see inside my heart

Look out
Your love is black

Closing my eyes and I can breathe
I can feel what is right, what is true
What is real

Seems you lost your way last night
You were back here by daylight
And now your words are dark and cold
And your lines are tired and old
Nature is calming me
Because your love was harming me
And now I shed that cold and harm
I wasn’t safe there in your arms

Look out
Your love is black

It’s true I loved you once
It’s true you were once mine…..

OneLove!
