Good old Wil again. As I have stated in the past I am not a Shakespear fan, I'll approach this as a lost love commentary instead. One that for whatever reason fell into the unrequited love column - like the one this song addresses -
We've all been there - at least I suspect if we are being honest. Some more than once.
Of course the optimist would suggest that a broken heart is simply one more mistake to be cast aside on the way to finding the RIGHT ONE. Hmm - that sounds oddly salesman like - ya gotta wade through the NOs to get to the one that says YES. Some of us are lucky enough to have that experience in love. And also to encounter an aggressive salesperson. Door knocking religions immediately spring to mind. But that's a discussion for another day.
Press on if you have a failed relationship. After all, it's all just a game
The stakes may be high but the quest is certainly fun and the end result very much worthwhile. Unless of course you're the solitary type. And that is fine too although it's not for me. There's just something about having someone who gets you - understands you completely and still cares about you. These days that task falls to my basset hound/collie mix - Ginger.
That's a quick shack take on this weeks topic, submitted by Gaelika in India. We also have a new member joining the LBC this week - Lin from Germany. She's an old high school acquaintance of mine and she can be found at Dun Na Sead Rising so be sure to check her out along with the other LBC posters. See ya next week - same bat time, same bat channel!
I personally believe that the broken heart is a whole lot of drama. The human spirit is strong enough to handle broken relationship except for people with serious mental disorders. But I know where you come from and can understand what you are trying to communicate. And the songs reflect part of the angst though not exactly in the same category of pain.
ReplyDeleteI like your attitude of nothing ventured nothing gained! "the quest is certainly fun and the end result very much worthwhile"...even if it is heartbreak...but do hearts really break...a topic for discussion, right?
