Love and Hate

This is a short story I found, that spoke to me and made me think about my own life. The story is called "Love and Hate" and here it is for you to also read it. Oh yea this is an Spanish story or i found it in Spanish anyways so I translated it....

There was once in the history of the world, that one day Hate, the king of the bad feelings, the flaws and the bad virtues, organized an urgent meeting with all the black feelings and sinister wishes found in the human heart.

They came to the gather very anxious to know what Hate needed. When everyone arrived, Hate spoke with serious eyes "I have gathered all of you here because I wish to kill someone at any cost..."

the feelings were not surprise with the proposition, because it was Hate who wanted to kill and he always wanted to kill someone. However, all the feelings wondered who was so hard to kill now that, Hate needed every one of them to help him. "I want you to kill Love..." many of the feelings gave a malevolent smile. Hate was not the only one who wanted to kill love. The first volunteer was the Bad Attitude who said " I will go, and I can assure you that in one year Love will be dead... I will provoke such quarrel and rage that Love wont be able survive"

One year went by, and all the feelings met again. but they were very disappointed to hear Bad Attitude's feedback on how the project went... "I am sorry, but every time I started a problem love would exceed it and Carry on..."

This is when Ambition who was Flaunting his powers said "In view that Bad Attitude Failed, I will go. I will divert Love's attention to wealth and power, he will never ignore that" and ambition started his attack. Who in effect opened a space for Ambition of wealth and power. But love fraught and got out of Ambition's trap he quieted all those selfish wishes and won once again...

Full with rage because of Ambitions Failures, Hate send jealousy, who mocking and perverse ruse tried to mislead love. they tried to fill love with doubts and suspicion. Love all confused and sad cried... he did not want to die. So with courage he fought and over came each one of the bad feelings that Hate sent him. Year after year Hate would send him most harmful friends: Infidelity, Selfishness, Indifference, Poverty, Sickness, and so on... But they all Failed, because every time Hate seemed to be close on killing Love, Love would stand up and become strong again and overcome them.

Hate who was now sure that Love was invincible said "There is nothing left to do, Love has overcame everything, for many years we have been insisting but there is no use" Suddenly form a corner or the room a feeling that was little known stud up. The feeling dressed in black and wore a big hat that would cover all his face, his appearance was like deaths... "I will kill love... I will kill him" the feeling said very sure of himself. Everyone asked who he was and how he was going to do something that not even the most destructive feelings could accomplish, running out of options the only thing Hate said was "Go and do it"

It was not too long before Hate called all the bad feelings to tell then the news.... After a very long wait and hard work Love was finally dead. Everyone was happy but surprised... that's when the feeling of the black hat spoke "Here, I give you Love. Completely dead and destroyed" he turned and walked away.

"Wait!" said Hate "In such a short time you completely eliminated him, you destroyed his will to live! and Love did not made an effort to survive... WHO ARE YOU?!?" The feeling raised his face for the first time and said "I am the Routine"

So I know this was a bit long but I really wanted to share this story because it spoke to me how a simple thing like a routine can kill, because there is no change nothing important any more before when the other feeling where trying to kill love, they were just making him stronger but now that nothing made love fight... now that love was just living with no problems a simple life, he found himself that there was nothing to fight for... nothing worth living that is what the story tried to communicate.

Blackberry... is it good or evil?

"Omg... I just got a BBM, wait let me respond it!" Does it sound familiar? this is the new text message, but free! that is what makes it so appealing for many people, not to mention free Internet access and being able to update facebook and twitter, and all this can be done at any time of the day. morning, night, while doing homework, at work, etc.

I am not criticizing the blackberry by saying they are bad, I own one myself and don't see how I would survive without it. However, is it getting out of control? the blackberry's primary function was to help business people respond important emails and BBM another co worker. but now everyone has one and the free messaging and facebook updates is just irresistible for teens. How many times have you answerd an unnecessary BBM just because? or a facebook comment? I am a teen so I know I have. This is where the problem starts, some people can control that action but others can't or wont... I remember a dinner I had with my cousins, they are all boys and get along very well with each other. So we were sitting, talking having and OK time, (I live far away from them and there is 1, 3 and 5 years in difference between me and the three of them) they were all BBMing and suddenly they just stand at the same time and leave, I found it pretty rude because I can only see them once a year for two weeks and I actually like them, I mean I look up to them. Anyways, that just showed they were talking to each other at the table, when they were there in person, even before I got to the dinner they were talking to each other in the BBM, and the table was quiet, compared to how loud it normally is when 3 good friends are together. But this problem is not only between teens but also adults, there isn't an event or a gathering where I don't see people BBMing, Facebooking, answering or just doing something with their Blackberries. Note that if a businessman/woman does this then it is clearly reasonable, but if a person does it because he/she is bored in a gathering then why go to the gather. Couples at dinner would rather BBM or do something with their phones, instead of actually talking to each other! and not to judge in that relationship but if you go to a dinner with someone and that is how it goes... then why bother showing up? why not ask for delivery? it sure is easier...

what I am trying to show is how we now are just miss our life. the dinner was the 1 out of 2 times I saw my cousins that year and the second time... I wouldn't really count it. not that I did not have fun at the dinner we did talk and share stories and I had fun but... The couple at the table, it is just sad, why would you go out with someone just to look at your phone? Or why would you go to a birthday, party, reunion and just BBM instead of socializing with the people that are already there? I am not saying the Blackberry is bad, I LOVE my Blackberry, but people need to understand when is the right time to use it. at a dinner party meeting the cousin you only get to see once a year is not really the right time, Christmas eve with your family is not the right time to BBM or use the phone at all, and like this there are many more moment one just need to know which time is right. And there is a right time.
