Convicted & Sentenced to Love!
You know, it sure is funny what love does to people especially to those that have recently fallen prey to the fierce enchantment. The old saying, “love makes you blind,” is definitely the absolute truth. As much as the so-called victims would like to debate the accuracy of that simple four words statement the fact of the matter is that they are genuinely sightless to anything that takes place outside of their cell. Even logical fact find presented by those with unclouded judgments come to find that their statements are merely dismissed as nonsense by those convicted with the sentence known as love.
It is almost as if this is deja-vu all over again. Like how a child merely dismisses everything that their parents say due to their parents not understanding them only to find out many years later that they are going through the exact same thing that their parents went through with them. It is humorous, ironic and distressing, all at once.
Regrettably, those that exist in the outer layer of the aptly aforementioned chamber have nothing to do but to continue as if nothing has changed. After all, how can one fault another for falling in love? Though, it is really not the fact that one fell in love that is at issue but, rather, that those that fall prey to this vicious homicidal maniac really are synonymous to cult followers. As one who joins a cult does, they give up everything that used to define them as an individual in exchange for attention by a single individual who, in the eyes of this individual, is a supreme being of some sort (regardless of being god-like or not).
…by now, I am quite certain that someone is wondering why the hell I have written this oddly inspired harangue. Well, the fact is that a dear friend has ensnared by the evils of love. While on the one hand I am extremely and sincerely cheerful for his newfound happiness, the other hand feels as if it has been walked on by a 400 pound man wearing steel toed boots with steel spikes on them. I am extremely upset, disappointed and betrayed.
Unfortunately, however, there is no reconciliation in this issue. It is one of those times when a man must “suck it up” and just move on. So much for the true meaning of the word friendship. Maybe all these years I was fooling myself and I just now found what the implication of having friends is all about…
