When two people find themselves in love, they are the only contributors that truly matter in maintaining the strength of that bond. There are myriad kinds of exogenous factors that can potentially throw a wrench into a couple's future: other people, money concerns, health issues, lack of intimacy, but if the connection is withstanding and as long as the partners agree that they want to see it through, they can outlast the string of outside forces trying to enervate what they have. Various catalysts can come and go and even follow one after the other in disheartening succession but without a real decision on the part of the members of this union to carry through with a separation, the bond is everlasting. Even a permanent circumstance as death is only a delay to heart-felt emotion and true caring
The main point to start is that love lasts on the backs of two people: nothing more and nothing less. It's touted as complicated but it's purity is only surpassed by its simplicity but only if you have found that special person. Invest in those feelings if you can because they make the most sense in a world that constantly wants to blot out your happiness with demoralizing reminders of failure and hardship. I don't even believe life does it on purpose; the twists and turns you encounter everyday will eventually lead to an unintentional descent into madness of some relativity. It really depends on the day to the level of contention to which you will be privy.
To believe in nihilism is to ascribe to something fundamentally lonely. You do not see a point to anything; everything lacks meaning and you choose to no longer seek any sort of worth in the universe. You and the world around you is meaningless. That would seem to cause everlasting misery of a different sort, fully internalized by your own fundamental ideals. It appears to lack merit.
As a result of this consideration, I am advocating that we as a society should no longer care about anything other than people because seeking value in things and activities and belief structures causes nothing but hardship and would seem irrefutably dumb. There is no 1:1 line between you and another in this example; you open the AB dynamic to infinite branches of opinions and facts and measures that can ultimately ruin your feelings towards whatever it is to which you care; too many factors exist in this world now that can mar positivity. The purview of your love for something is expanded beyond the boundaries of an adulation shared by two and thus, too many factors can poison and destroy your sense of joy for whatever YOUR THING is.
Beyond my girlfriend, I never thought I could love anything more than football. I have truly realized over the last few years, especially in these last few weeks, how flawed those feelings are. Something as simple as dropping to a knee has escalated to a firestorm of controversy, pedantic rambling, tireless prognostication, and unrelenting frustration. At a time when our nation and our world is enduring such hardship, we cannot flip through cable channels without the news or sports stations expanding on a story that shouldn't have had legs but due to the lack of their usage by NFL players have drummed up quite a stink. Natural disasters have plagued us for over a month, Las Vegas still is on the mend after unfathomable tragedy and one unloved dictator feels he has to take his father issues out on the human race by flexing his nuclear muscle. After writing that sentence, I couldn't tell if I was talking about the leader of North Korea or the leader of the USA because they both fit the description.
In large part, a social issue has unexpectedly evolved into a political concern regarding the age-old debate of public sector involvement in a private sector world, all stemming from our president's bitterness over his decades of strife with football. He is playing classic misdirection to shift our focus away from healthcare reform failures and how members of the Republican Party are undermining his leadership qualities and results 9 months into his first term. He feels he can continue to poke this bear because there are numbers he can cite that prove his point, as insignificant in the grand scheme of things as it might be and people will talk about it because ironically, football is still popular to discuss despite lowered attendance and viewership as communicated by POTUS. He even got Lackey #1 Mike Pence to get in on the act by suggesting he fly from Vegas to Indianapolis to watch the Colts game and then leave beforehand as a publicity stunt with the camera crews waiting in their vans to peel out of Lucas Oil Arena, costing potentially over $1 million dollars in gas and lodging. I assume some ravaged areas of Texas. Florida, California or Puerto Rico could find some viable use for that money but if it should take precedent over a vendetta, then why bother?
All in all, the world has become too political and ultimately, when anything you care about gets drawn into the political realm, the public will find a way to ruin it. As such, do not invest time or affection outside of at least that one special person. Anything intangible has the potential to flounder under the really credible threat of worldwide disappointment in a modern day and age where nothing dies, except your hopes for enjoyment out of something you loved in the past...luckily, a Star Wars trailer dropped to try to garner some hope in a sea of struggle.
In conclusion, the Sith really did have it right, it is about the Rule of Two, that is where inherent power is bred and where it can sustain.
