Former U.S. President, Barack Obama:

“We cannot launch military operations to get out of an ideological or technological problem. History has taught us that conflicts in the Middle East are easy to start, but almost impossible to end in an orderly way. We must recognize that peace is not built on rubble, but on a regional architecture that provides stability. We must choose between difficult and persistent diplomacy, or a perpetual regional war that has no winners, only victims.”

Obama's first sentence is way over trump's head.

The Sound of a Thousand Songs

Though stereos haven’t gone out of style, it has become common place in our generation to have headphones or earbuds in one’s ears. It is a testament to the technological advancement, as well as the capitalistic and individualism ideological movements. And while there is nothing wrong with personal preference, it makes one wonder if there is a degree of noise pollution that goes beyond the…

I would like to know..

Are you

In love with me?

Or are you,

Perhaps,

In love with

The idea of me?

So today my teacher asked, "Is true love real?" I was the only female who didn't agree and was deemed too cynical and my guy friends felt that it would make me feel better to call me one of the guys. I'm not cynical. And I'm not a guy. I'm only saying that true love is a myth. It's an ideology that was developed by Disney and authors. It's a wonderful concept, but it's not real. I can love. I believe in love. I love my cat. I love my mom. I love Harley Quinn. I love my best friend. I love soda. I'm in love with my boyfriend. But I don't believe in society's 'true love'. Love is undefinable. So true love would be equivalent to perfect love. Something undefinable cannot be perfected. By anyone. Therefore, in my opinion it cannot exist. But, following society's definition- true love is one's soul mate, a love that is flawless and pure. Perfect love doesn't exist. Love is flawed. There is pain. Lies. Cheating. Abuse. Anger. Sadness. None of that is perfect. It's love, but it's not flawless. It's not perfect nor true. I believe in love. I don't believe in the idealistic concept of true love. I also don't believe in one true love, as any number of people can come and go in one's life. You can love, you can even fall in love, but that doesn't make you soul mates. Yes. People can stay together for the span of their entire lives, they can remain in love during that time, but that is not true love. It is rare and beautiful, but it is just love. It isn't perfect. Anyone that believes in the fairy tale concept is ignorant. Not stupid or dumb, ignorant. As in: living in a ideological dream world of clouds and happiness. I even admit to envying that. They do say ignorance is bliss. But it isn't for me. Therefore, I'm not a cynic. I'm a realist.
