eternity is nothing
i've always enjoyed looking through random friendster accounts and reading the testimonials to satisfy the vouyer in me. one of the more LOL-inducing ones i see are the proclamations of love.
"i will be by your side always, darling."
"i love you for ever and ever and ever."
etc.
they all focus on an apparently eternally undying love towards their partners. and then in a few weeks/months, i return only to see their love proclamations being imposed on yet another partner.
the point i'm trying to make here is that nothing is forever, and we should not kid ourselves into believing otherwise.
these 'kids' should know that their current object of affection is only temporary and it will change with time. there is a certain hypocrisy in falling in love (i'm not discounting their ability to love) with peter and telling him you love him for ever, and then breaking up and moving on to john and telling him the exact same thing, only for the cycle to repeat itself.
first, she lied to peter, and then john, and then whoever is next in line. don't they ever learn? i understand that being in love is a splendid thing, but promising eternal love to each and every one of your partners is a little unnecessary.
they are blatantly lying to the ones they apparently love, and they do it time and again. some kind of love that is.
instead, learn to say "i love you for as long as our love would last." this is much better for several reasons. for one, you are not actually lying to your dearly beloved, since there is no promise of eternity, which leads to the second reason which is that jilted lovers would not have a valid reason to murder you.
when she's coming after you with a knife, calling you a bastard for dumping her after saying you'll love her, you can remind her that you didn't promise to love her for ever, after which she would probably turn the knife upon herself.
so kids, stop kidding yourselves and your darlings, and stop giving empty promises of eternal love, only to get a new darling within 2 weeks. then i would have one less reason to laugh at you.
