The words that flow into my head are all that of suffering and pain.
Love is but one side of the cruel emotion of passion. When passion begins towards someone, the intense feelings of desire make us gravitate towards. We feel so connected and intertwined that we begin to lose a certain perception of what we are and what we want. All that matters is the other person. Their happiness becomes our greatest asset. It drives us and becomes our reason for living. This passion is not always meant to last.
Love is but the brighter side of the coin of passion. The dark side of passion is hatred. Eventually, our pure positive passion begins to taint with negative feelings. Ill will formed from disagreements with morals and reason. When this negative feeling collects, it influences our passion and turns it ever so slightly into hatred. The feelings begin at a low simmer, but as more negative feelings collect, the feelings begin to boil. Before long, these feelings boil over and someone snaps. How quickly this lasts is but a judge on character on behalf of the two people. The next moments between the two are fueled purely by negative energy. If it is not released, it bottles up to a point that it becomes like a bomb. It could potentially burn and destroy everything. This is the point that takes down most people. Reason and rational of the world today lead us to believe we will find a person that we can reason with through all of our negative energy. However, this is not true of the world. Humans are meant to disagree. There will always be something negative that taints the relationship to not allow it to reach the moment it contained towards the beginning. Pure love is found for but a brief moment, before it is extinguished by the bitter, cold, intense feelings of hatred.
There is a saying that goes, “Passion swings both ways. Passionate love leads to passionate hatred.” This saying is absolutely true. However, it is completely within our control to decide which way it swings. By not letting our hatred boil over, we allow for love to always spring over. As long as love remains the priority of the relation between two people, then it will be successful. It is when hatred tears it asunder that we begin to lose sight of why we even feel towards an individual in the first place. By calming ourselves and allowing ourselves to think rationally, we understand one another. This principle can help us love one another in ways that could last for lifetimes.
Do not lose sight of the ones you love, for they may be your greatest allies. However, do not love too many. As much as we choose not to believe it, there are people in this reality that have morals that suck the life out of you. They want something of you and they will take it without a second thought. They will steal whatever you have to give and leave you to your own demise. What is even more shocking, they rarely regret it. They feed off of your emotions of passion and will use it to fuel them in getting whatever they want. Be cautious. For when they steal from you, the results could take not just physical possessions, but mental and emotional possessions. It is when we narrow the gate that we prevent the wrong from entering into it. Raising standards to deter all who seek to destroy us. Love only those who meet the requirements that your moral code allows.
However, loving only a selective group cuts you off from so much information that could aid you in this lifetime. It is wise to not only love those closest to you. You should love your fellow man. There are no exceptions to this. Do not allow your preconceived notions of someone cloud your ability to learn from them. Love them. You must, however, be cautious of those you allow to become closest to you. By erecting that gate, you allow yourself not to be torn apart by the cruelty of reality. Let love lead your life, but always be wary of the hatred always emanating from the same coin as love.
I guess this is just something I've been meaning to write. It probably has a lot of grammatical errors. If you think that this ideology is wrong, then that is your right. This is something that I wrote to please myself. When I get a lot of feelings pent up inside, I feel a need to release them sometimes. This is one time where I will share it, because I do not mind.
