"Love Is Not Enough"

Everyone falls in love. But everyone knows that love is not enough. There is always something that has to be an outstanding factor that keeps the two together. It cannot just be love. There is always money, social acceptance, independence, trust and some sort of ability to understand that someone might have a different idea than you. There is always some other factor that is involved in the relationship. There cannot always be the idea that the other person makes you a better person. That person has to stand up and do it themselves. You will have an impact on them but you can’t change them. I see this happen a lot in the relationships that I observe. Therefore, if you are trying to change your partner does that mean that love is enough for you? If you can’t accept someone for whom or what they are, then is love enough for you? When is enough…enough? Is it ever enough? So an example would be from one of my favorite movies as Samantha asked Jerry, “I have to ask you a question. It's a good one so think about it. If two people love each other, but they just can't seem to get it together, when do you get to that point of enough is enough?” (The Mexican) Jerry answered “Never” to Samantha. Do you think that he finally realized that he had to get his act together and that just loving her was not enough? Do you think he said it because that is what she wanted to hear? I see that often as well. Just telling someone what they want to hear and go on to do whatever it is they want to do. There are other people in this world. The only person that you can really control is yourself. Being able to stick to your word is important. Being able to be an adult at some point is important as well.  I wonder sometimes about both parties as well.

 I am not writing this blog to point people out. One has to remember all the people that I see in a day’s time. I don’t know what to say other than some of us need to start using out heads. I know I am not perfect but sometimes…I just don’t get it. I know that factors in love are many. I can’t seem to keep it or find it myself. But then maybe I think too much about it. Maybe that is why I think that love is not enough.  I know it. Maybe its means that I don't give love a figting chance. Maybe it means that I have never actually fallen in love. Maybe, just maybe I am looking for something real and not some fairy tale. Love is not enough. That is all I got to say.

"Love Is Not Enough"

Nine Inch Nails

The more that we take

The paler we get

I can't remember what it is

We try to forget

The tile on the floor

So cold it can sting

In your eyes is a place

Worth remembering

For you to go and take this, to smash it apart

I've gone all this fucking way

To wind up back at

Back at the start

[Chorus:]

Hey, the closer we think we are

Well it only got us so far

Now you got anything left to show

No no I didn't think so

Hey, the sooner we realize

We cover ourselves with lies

But underneath we're not so tough

And love is not enough

Well it hides in the dark

Like the withering vein

We didn't give it a mouth

So it cannot complain

It never really had a chance

We'd never really make it through

I never think I'd believed

I believed I could get better with you

[Chorus]
