Roses and Headaches

"The fearless man will never know true love" - me

Find me a truly fearless man and I shall show you a man whose life will be dull beyond belief. Because in life all that is needs opposition. Fear craves opposition - love. Thus for love to exist, so must fear. For it is in the darkest moments of our lives that we realize that we can truly love. These moments give us contrast to the joy and pleasure we feel when in love. You cannot love if you do not fear.

Maybe that is why we fight in relationships. For if we fight then fear, we love harder. The bliss is sweeter, the passion more serene. But too much fear heralds the loss of love, the destruction of desire. Conversely, the absence of fear leaves us adrift in the plains of grey, perfectly still, a droplet of water upon a flat surface. So love to your hearts content, yet embrace fear. Face it, conquer it, yet remember it. Invigorate your love

From a guy adrift in his world, utterly loveless, feeling fearless, hoping that everything he just wrote was wrong and that someday he finds happiness.
