Let's get on with it shall we?
So, this week, I've been pondering upon the translation of "love at first sight" from various perspectives. And to my surprise, it was 50/50. I did not realize that there are so many believers in this world and I am glad that they are. Let's begin with my boyfriend.
He is a pro "love at first sight" and I tried making it a case to him. I tried to have him look at it from my point of view which he did and he agreed with some of my points but the there was no totality in his agreement because the fundamental reason behind him being pro "love at first sight" is he had felt it before. So it is kind of a religious epiphany whereby nobody could take that away from you. At first, honestly, I wanted to but then realization came to mind, "Jaz, fucking respect other people you cunt." and so I did. Marshmallow, I'm glad that you are a believer.
Now, let's look at the other end of the spectrum by discussing about what my friend, Kit May, thinks about this matter. Yeah, she's not into it. Very much not into it because by saying that you fall in love with someone from the first sight highlights the notion of your love based on outward appearances whereas "love" is the complete opposite thing. It takes more than just the way we look to make someone falls in love with us, no matter how fab we look. Love, from Kit May's perspective encompasses so much more such as personality, character, emotion, manner and all in in all, the entire being of that person. Another friend of mine, Amanda's point of view falls under Kit May's as well so let's just push 'em together.
Let's come back to pro "love at first sight" now. A lecturer of mine is the fucking sweetest person on Earth and yes, he's a believer. The main reason of his beliefs is because of reincarnation when you had already fallen in love with the person from the previous life and meeting that person again in the current life just gives you the feels. Which I find beautiful. Reincarnation in general is a beautiful process, not that I believe in it but it is just a very beautiful beliefs on how you could fall in love all over again with the same person again and again and again 'til the end of time. Death is not a worry because heck, we'll find each other again. It is nice to have that kind of security don't you think?
And lastly, some random answers from my friends who believes in it just for the sake of believing it to ensure her romantic side is alive. On the other hand, there was another friend who was kind of freaked out by it because based on his words, "that chick could be a total psycho".
You know what, at the end of the day, it does not matter if you are pro or against "love at first sight". Your thoughts and perspectives on it builds up to who you really are and I know that I will still find you awesome as fuck if you don't even know the existence of "love at first sight."
Hooray individuality and fuck yeah. I got nothing.
l8r,
