I recently wrote about the pain that I carry whenever someone I love walks out of my life.
I also wrote about the pain that I carry whenever someone I love leaves this earth.
Thinking about these two inevitable life events, I realize just how similar the two are.
I think of life and relationships as cycles that produce laughter and tears.
When a baby is born the parents are so happy and proud. The doctors and nurses are so eager and happy to do their jobs of delivering the new baby into this world. Everyone is thrilled at this gift of life.
There is much laughter.
Throughout this baby's life it will experience people, places, things, and emotions that will form and mold the person. There will be great times of happiness, triumph, and success. There will also be terrible times of sorrow, loss, and regret. At the end of the life cycle this once new born baby will face death. This death will produce sadness and pain for those left behind.
There are many tears.
In a new romantic relationship both people are very happy and content with the other person. Everyone around each person notices how happy they are. Everything is so fresh and new.
There is much laughter.
Throuthout the relationship both people will experience moments of extereme joy, pleasure, and contentment. They will also experience moments of disapointment, anger, and disenchantment. At the end of the relationship these once happy and content people no longer want to be a part of each other's lives. They go their seperate ways forever. The relationship is over.
There are many tears.
When I love someone I love them so hard and so dearly that it is almost impossible for me to let go. When I love someone it's very hard for me to imagine not being with them.
I feel the same way about life. I don't want to die.
I often wish that I could have been able to stand at the threshold of life and been able to peek into this world to get an understanding of life and all that comes with it: happiness, success, love, sadness, pain, loss, good people, bad peopls, animals, nature, great food, drugs, crime, friendships, money, ect. I would then like to be given the choice of weather I will be born into this world, or not.
When it comes to relationships I would like to be able to get a good understanding of the other person, the strength of our love, and the chemistry between our bond. I would then like to be able to decide if this relationship is somehting that I will be a part of, or not.
Would I choose to be born into this world if I had been able to stand at the threshold of life before I was born?
I will save that answer for a future writing.
Stay tuned.
Also, considering that we live our entire lives knowing and maybe even waiting to die, without knowing how or where.
Then when we have died we face eternal uncertainty, would you choose to be a part of this world if you had been able to stand at the threshold of life and peek into this world before you were born?
I'm turned off by lost love and death.
