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]
