Unconditional Romantic Lust.

I had a feeling to write, about love.

The image of love has become so diluted, that wikipedia has broken it up into at least 6 different categories. and more than 8 different categories of close relationships! Good God! I need a encyclopedia before i can define my relationship or feel any type of rational emotion. There is and always will be 3 categories of love, 2 have been manufactured or amplified by hollywood, and 1 is the only true form.

Love, the ever so complicated emotion. Why so complicated? Why is it so hard to utter three meaningless words? Confused, trust me, i was too. If anything everyone should be confused by the movies, music and ridiculous commercials we see on TV.

Jewelry commercials are right on ball when they portray how love should be expressed. The more diamond karats, the more she loves you, right? Romantic comedies are the most ridiculous genre of movies ever pushed through the tube! Ladies, haven't you ever noticed that in every chick flick, the guy is always more slick and better looking that the girl? Come on Meg Ryan, Jessica Parker, Julia Roberts, all look like my feet. Oh and thank you Leona Lewis, i just discovered that i can bleed love. I wouldn’t be surprised if a teenage girl is planning to slit her wrists, after listening to a sappy love song.

Depressed girl :“He loved me, he even gave me a diamond ring.”

Me :“Well I hate to break it to you sweet heart, but he took back the ring.”

Sometimes i wonder how love was expressed before the exposure of mainstream media. Did every Viking or Lumberjack stoke his woman's hair, after giving her a peck on the lips before leaving to work? Or were the wives worried that their breath smelled bad after they woke up? Did the Spartan wife get pissed when her husband was spending to much time at work making shields and swords for war, and “not enough time attending to her needs”?

Oh and god forbid you for forget your own anniversary! Thats like committing adultery, with a bald one legged midget, named sugar cane.

1- Lust

We all know what lust is, you know, one of the 7 deadly sins (Thanks brad, you nailed it). People are beginning to confuse love with lust and its not a surprise. What else would you think of when you hear “Please Don’t stop the music” blazing loud enough to pop your ear drums.

Buddy: “Bro it was like love at first sight”

Me: “No man, it was skin tight at first sight.”

Although lust has been around for centuries, it has never been amplified to this extent, to the point where most of what we watch and listen to is pointed in the direction of sex. Even commercials have a crazy way of exposing it. In my generation, boys and girls are actually beginning to think sex is casual. You wonder why people call you a Sleaze or a Bitch, has anyone ever noticed that this only creates problems?

Idiot Girl: “Yeah we are in a casual relationship, Its kinda complicated, you wouldn’t understand.”

Me: “So its pretty much lust with a title?”

Casual sex is how the status “Its Complicated” arose. Its also the beginning of all the drama, rumors and the destruction of reputations. If your one of those people who thinks sex is just a physical act, jump off your hydrogen filled balloon of intelligence. Feelings will arise in any sort of physical activity, you cant turn them off jack ass.

2- Romance

This is wikipedias definition, “Romance is a general term that refers to the “attempt” to express love with words or deeds.” All i have to say is bitch please.

Buddy: “Yeah man, i just paid $3500 for this ring and another $1000 for a helicopter ride, i am going to purpose to her in the air, she loves helicopters, she wont be able to resist!”

Me: “Yeah dude, and if she says “No” just push her off, or else your out $4500”

(True buddy story above)

Romance and Valentines day are products of hollywood, its been manufactured by corporate media, in order for you to satisfy your material needs. I hope you realize that romance only attracts the physical things in life, it will never satisfy you mentally. In order for you to have true love it has to be mentally, and it should never be portrayed with physical objects that give you the illusion of love.

Hollywood wants you to believe that love can be bought. Its your heart, mind and soul. At one point in time i had fallen for their well crafted illusion.

Me: “How do you know he loves you?”

Retarded Girl: “OMG, he bought me a car, and he said “I Love You” after he gave me the keys!!”

Me: “Did you say it back?”

Retarded Girl: “Fuck no, i am not ready”

Me: “Why are we having this conversation?”

(This conversation happened on my phone, txt messaging)

3- Unconditional

AH yes, the only true form of Love, don’t get it twisted when people break it up into selfish separate categories. This is true love. I only have one theory about how people are able to achieve such bliss. People achieve it the same way our bodies naturally heal, only with time and patience.

This is why arranged marriages or the the traditional Arab marriages have a significantly less percentage of divorce rates. I am not talking about the selfish Saudis who force their women to marry for purposes of greed or self advancement. I am talking about the families who take the time searching for a respectable family with the same beliefs and values. Once the they introduce themselves and have a private conversation, the couple is able to make a informed decision. With time the couple “grows” to love each other. They accept each others flaws, and change within themselves for one another. If i am wrong, why is the divorce rate in the west 49%!, shit bro, you might as well flip a coin when you say your vows!

Think of it this way, How do you love your parents or childhood best friends? Did you “FALL” in love with them? No, you grew up loving them, no matter how much they piss you off, you still care for them, and same goes for them about you.

When my parent first purposed this traditional way of life, i was a young brainwashed jackass liberal, who actually believed everything CNN said. I used to think it was lunatic to marry someone you have only known for a year. I embraced the thinking of Western society, and ignored my cultural, traditional and religious background. I abandoned my true way of life, because of the embarrassment it would have caused me.

Well if you semi agree, you have reached the grey area my friend.

As for the people who do not believe in this form of marriage or dating. Find someone with the same values and beliefs, because that is your stepping stone, to a real fundamental relationship.

For those who read this Cheers, if there is any objections let me know.

Deya Out.

  1. Interesting article. I appreciate your comment about searching for the right stepping stones. I'm not sure the answer to lowering divorce rates has to be arranged marriages, but the point that there needs to be a deeper thought to start, and a stronger commitment to change together is 100%

  2. I have a couple with problems with this post. We'll start with the simple one...

    Why is the girl the one who is always "retarded" or "idiot" or "depressed"? What a stereotype.

    And now for a more complicated issue...

    There is no such thing as unconditional love. In specific reference to your post, the mere fact that a family is researching other families for good spouses already means there are conditions. The choice is made with respect to certain guidelines, certain stipulations, certain conditions.

    If the man that says he loves me, the man to whom I am married, cheats on me, am I still expected to love him? I'm sorry, but not cheating is a condition. There is no such thing as unconditional love. I will not love some one regardless of what they do. It's not possible. There will always be something, something that a person would do to make someone not want to be with someone any more. Otherwise you'd have to be crazy...or so I feel.

    I do think it is only slightly different with family. Family raises you, teaches you, nurtures you. Of course you love them. Even when they hurt you, you will still love them because it is a different type of relationship. HOWEVER, there are still conditions. There may be times where family members can hurt you so badly that you have no love for them anymore. You may still do many things for them, try your best to care about them, but that doesn't mean you love them. You do these things for family because that is what they are, family. Sometimes when you have family, they may no longer seem like family.
    Anyway... I'm rambling a bit, I know... it's just way too simple to say that the only real kind of love is unconditional love, because frankly, everything has conditions, except when you are in heaven.
