“The problems of your past are your business. The problems of your future are my privilege” -- John H Watson (Sherlock Holmes Season 4)
“I want somebody to share. Share the rest of my life. Share my innermost thoughts. Know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side. And give me support. And in return she'll get my support.
She will listen to me when I want to speak. About the world we live in and life in general.
Though my views may be wrong. They may even be perverted. She'll hear me out and won't easily be converted.
To my way of thinking, in fact, she'll often disagree, but at the end of it all. She will understand me” (lyrics from google)
In some part of our live we will be faced with two options. The options to be alone, and to be hold by someone. In the end, human are social creature. We want to have someone that accept us for whoever we are.
Realistically, there will be no one.
But that’s also fine. Human was born with a lot of differences, but the differences is what make us human. In the end of the day, we will talk about it, negotiate, and try to understand about it little by little.
And then we will have disagreement again! We talk about it again. Again. And the process will keep repeating as long as we alive.
Do I hate it? No, in fact, there is something in the differences between people that make it interesting. Let say, if everybody was born with the same mind, probably we will not know the world is round and the earth actually revolving against the sun (yeah thanks to Copernicus and Galileo). If we know that differences can change things into something better, then why we should hate it? Why we afraid of it? Why we avoid and run from it?
Maybe because it require a lot of courage to embrace it. And we need to take a huge leap of faith to ourselves. That no matter how different we are they will not reject us (yeah we all fear of abandonment and rejection). The differences will not bring us into problems if we believe it won’t. But again it depends on how you behave and react to it.
As for me, I want to believe. I want to believe that differences will bring an understanding and love.
