Memories
(This all references the lady which I date)
We all have cherishable memories. Some involve a wedding, some involve your first crash, some involve you friend's funeral, and some involve other things.
However, who remembers the less memorable, more important things? I don't think many people do, that's why I'm writing. September 14, 2004, is a memorable day to me. Not because of pleasure, but because of a mixture of emotions. Throughout there was an hour long issue that accounted for the pleasure, pain, distress, and countless tears that were spread.
However, no one remembers issues like these. People don't choose to. However, like we should, we must incorporate the important things. We must be like Robin Williams in "One Hour Photo." We must embrace the good and bad. Although we might not be willing or desiring to embrace both the good and the bad, and many a time do we focus solely on embracing the good, we need to embrace both. Both feelings and circumstances have both pros and cons.
The pros of remembering the bad things:
A) Learn from Mistakes
B) Realize that things happen for spur of the moment
C) Learn to enjoy life as it comes
D) Use your tears that you most often do not
The cons of remembering the bad things:
A) People get hurt, however hard or soft it happens, it still happens
B) You realize what mistakes you made, and you feel bad about them
C) You become abstracted, and your life becomes borne on keeping from sadness
D) You focus on mistrust, depending on the incident, of the person involved
I do not like reason D. I think it works. I think the truth is objective. I think I should not be judged. I enjoy the presence of the one, and I also think the one is a cool friend.
Do you pray for your friends? I pray for my friends. I read a Bible passage once. I liked it; it said not to boast about prayer, but I'm going to. I pray for this one friend of mine. A female friend whom I admire, adore, and am attracted to. I pray for her on two levels.
1) The Friend level: Where I pray for the well being of her and the longevity of her and my friendship.
2) The Special intention level: Where I pray for the well being of our relationship, that it may endure all things thrown upon it and end up in love.
