the dumbing down of love.

I just thought I could see who I could make cry today.

this song came up on random on my ipod the other night and I started thinking about this lyric: "jaded in anger, love underwhelms you." no matter what my situation is, I really don't feel that way. obviously, I have come off as a sad bastard since I left chicago last month, which is to be expected. but I believe in love. I think it's possible for two people to be filled with "well painted passion" for years and years. my parents have been married for 30. my grandparents were married for 55 until my grandpa passed away in september; and they married after a week of dating! it is pretty damn amazing.

I'm not sure what we are lacking in today's society. it's apparent relationships CAN work; they just don't always work like they used to. people can be committed to one another, but there is so much shit in the world to be distracting and destruuctive. the universe is not as optimistic as it once was. I believe we must keep some kind of love alive to remember the truth about being in general.
