Love as Growth

"KUMPAS NG BUHAY"

Minsa'y sa daloy nang buhay ay parang isang " kumpas". Matiba'y mong panghahawakan ang mga nararapat na salita patungo sa puso at isipan.
Upang ito ay _____________ Malaya mong unawain kung saan at ano ang kahulugan ng bawat galaw, at hayaan mong ang bawa't pusong nais kang akbayan ay ika'y hatulan sa bawat mensaheng nais mong ipaalam, kahit ito'y Masaya o Malungkot man.
Dahil ito ang kumpas ng iyong buhay na siyang nakatakda mong ilaan,at panantilihin ang balanse ng iyong timbangan sa Tama at Mali pa man,dahil ito ang magtutuwid sayo sa tamang panahon at oras
At magdadala naman sa tamang hangarin ng buhay na siyang magdudugtong sa isang tanong at malayang ipapaalam sa iisang sagot.....

It's funny as to how people can claim to love one another while they are so different from one another.  Expectations can burn against the skin, and previous experience of love can be a big hindrance to creating a new of loving.

One of the biggest excuses we have as lovers is that we let our past experiences make victims out of us, and we unconsciously or consciously make our painful experiences as a justifiable reason for not keeping up with our agreements.   We fail to realize that  agreements are part of loving--they concretize into action what we claim to feel.

Forgiveness plays a part when agreements are not met.  And forgiveness is not easy because TRUST has been breached.  It happens when we keep on doing the same things again and again.  And when the transgression is confronted, the other retreats, throws an "i love you" and runs away. 

How do you bring back the trust?  How do you build back the relationship?  First, accept that you have made a mistake.  Secondly, don't wait and make the first move.  In this way, you are making yourself humble, and you send to your partner a message that you are concerned also with the way he felt.  Third, before you leave the issue, make a resolution that you will try not to do the same thing again.

Love is hard.  It's not just the way we make people feel good about themselves, it's not about sending cards and romantic messages, it's not about making empty promises, but it is a commitment that you give to the growth of both of you.  Whether there is joy or anger, both negative and positive experiences will teach us, and our job is to LEARN from them.  If there is no LEARNING, there is no GROWTH.

"Everything in life is an omen. There is a universal language, understood by everybody, but already forgotten. I am in search of that universal language. That is why I am here."

Excerpt from The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

CONJECTURES is an attempt to bring meaning to the tapestry of faith-life experiences, through the participation of different individuals who give color and dimension to it.

Reden A. Cerrer

"We carry with us every story we have ever heard and every story we have ever lived, filed away at some deep place in our memory. We carry most of those storied unread, as it were, until we have grown the capacity or the readiness to read them. When that happens they may come back to us filled with a previously unsuspected meaning. It is almost as if we have been collecting pieces of greater wisdom, sometimes over many years without knowing."

CONJECTURES is a venue for persons whose desire for writing need expression, and whose stories carry inspiration and truth yearning to connect with yet another story. I believe that it is inherent for human beings to connect with one another, and in and through this web of relationship, truth and wisdom are passed in the guise of life stories.

I never intended to create a blog simply to ventilate personal angst on the web; rather, I wanted a blog that would possibly stir interest in other people to look into their experiences and see the humour, passion, distractions, tribulations, confusions, triumphs, hopes, truths, and even wisdom in the color of everyday experience.

Hence, I invite people to participate in this virtual camp fire and weave their tales--whether it is your own or something you have stumbled upon--when you retell it, it is from your perspective, and therefore, your own. I am grateful to Babes, Shai, Mych, Smoothsec, Sam, Emily and Daal, whose inspirations came from this blog, and are now in turn, inspiring me to continue writing.
