well, this will be a very deep post compared to the previous few. i realised i havnt done a philosophical one in AGES, mostly because i believe Army is slowly replacing the part of my mind which deals with imagination and creativity with layman nonsense. of course, i try my best to stave this off with my little red saf book. but heck, i think i should really refresh the old noggin with a good old reflective post. you know, like the many i composed right after i finished off a levels.
ok the topic of today is... compatibility.
this stretches not only into romantic relationships, but more general ones like social and friendships. because after all, life isnt merely about finding that one special person and making things click between the both of you(although i have to say it is a very enticing way to look at things.). no, it includes your ability to fit into a social circle no matter how wide or tight it is.
lets start things off easy alright? you know, just to ease us into the whole idea. i know it may seem a bit tedious and confusing if i jump right into my ponderings on the matter, thus ill use the context of romantic relationships to really put my message across. after which ill just mosey on to social and friendships, with all of us a bit more clear on the general direction and tone im taking.
firstly, romantic relationships. how can you tell how compatible you are with the other person? well, like ive suggested before(and still do, to anyone who will listen. sorry if i sound repetitive, i just like to make sure that my points are driven across. otherwise ill just sound like a babbling idiot!), its simply about timing and the characters of the two.
is the timing really just right? will you be able to make this little spark ignite to burn with an intensity to last a long and bright time? shockingly, this part is almost always simply out of your hands. whether youve got to finish up a gruelling part of army which saps time and energy like a bane elemental out for blood, or you know enrollment into university is crawling up, all of this determines your chances to make things work with a potential partner. and lets face it, we almost NEVER get the option of manipulating such stuff to our own advantage. you have to really take a close look at the factors revolving around a budding bond before any big steps can be taken. better safe than sorry isnt it?
second part is the personalities. ian cant see himself with anyone other than a sexy office girl who likes to be in control(he just likes the tamer dominatrix i guess. but thats ok, thats sexy too!), jerome cant see himself without a tube of hand lube and a porn video and i can only picture myself with a nice athletic tanned girl!
but all that is the materialistic aspect of everything. the more important facet is whether that funny, charming and brash girl is REALLY what your looking for, or whether its just outside opinions influencing you to think said lady is perfect for you. after all, i DO know people who prefer the silent and reserved type who never club, and when i ask them why, they cant really give me a good answer. its just your own perception on how the both of you can really click. therefore, the most important thing to note is to never force something which you are not absolutely confident about. if not, your really just just begging for disaster.
social. hmmmm. ok lets use my platoon for instance. there are some people who i just cant get along with. for some, its because their fucked up. for others, its because our way of living is just so different that conflicts inadvertently arise. no matter how friendly or warm someone may appear, that person is SURE to piss off people down the line. its just the way it is. why though?
my theory is that each and every one of us has a distinct, separate set of characteristics that define us as who we are. sometimes, some aspects may be stronger than what others can tolerate. it could be the way you carry yourself, the manner of your speech or even the slight accent you unwittingly carry. in life, we inevitably rub some people raw, even if its not really our fault!
this is actually good in a way. think about it. the very fact that you aggro some people, but get along extremely well with many more proves that you have this unique, distinguishable personality. you are one of a kind. however, if you CAN go about life without attracting any flak for your actions, then you are this little tard who walks around with a blank look on his face to match his bland person. because its only such a person that can never irritate anyone else. he is simply too insignificant and unremarkable to make a lasting impression.
friendships.
meh. this is too simple to waste my breath on. a quick summary for those who havnt grasped my message yet shall suffice. dooooooiiiiiiiii if you doint like dat poirson, who doint talk to you and doint laugh at your jokes, then you twoo aint gonn be good friends! get it, genus?
...
sorry, i couldnt resist doing that. hope none of you are offended, my little outbursts are sometimes over the top, but heck thats what makes me who i am. : D
in closing, cheerio and back to dota me lovelies!!!
