Forever?

This post is going to offend a number of people. It might slap me in my own face in the near future.. But it is hard to keep silent and I really want to let this out.

I have spoken on this topic a few times, and I have tried to alter my approach towards it so as not to sound boring. Literally, those who have been following my blog will know that I touched on this a lot, perhaps a little too much.

Whatever next is only aimed at the world I see and observed and understand.

I don't know if it's just me, but I get the creeps when lovers say to each other: I'll love you forever. I just naik bulu roma. Is it the hypocrisy, that prompted me to react this way? Or is it the fickleness of this powerful statement, and the collateral damage it can cause, that scares me?

On the surface, the sentence sounds fine and all. Everything is fine as long as I love you. We will get through this mess with our love, and our love only. 'This stuff is difficult, but it's real...' - Love Story, Taylor Swift.

Everywhere this mantra rings. It's not just him, it's her as well. They both think that their 'It' is really going to last for ever. And they are both 18. They 'love' each other 'deeply' . Yes, they think they are going to marry and have kids.

Like I said, I am going to offend people. Already there are voices of dissents.

How can forever be so sure? How can forever be in the beg that easily?

For youngsters who are 18 and below, or maybe above that, it is most likely that they say this in the heat of moment. The love is so palpable that it prompts them to say things which outweigh themselves.

I don't know what to say. It seems rather obvious to me, and to themselves later on, when the relationship is let go. Then they go on and say the 'forever' thing to another person. Sheesh.

Cow and donkey, cow and donkey. Ohh...

niel: i agree with u lo, like the age of 18, the person may not have a mature thinking, they may just look at the things in front of them but not other thing that is in the future. basically, many ppl at the stage of immature, they may have the thinking way like that, but after they have grown up and become mature, they may change their mind because they experience more thing already...

kaemin: who say nothing can be last longer? one example - the love given by The God to sinful ppl like us!!!

Eternity don't last. Isn't it ironic? I'm a player myself, saying something like forever disgust me. I find it really hard to spit out the 3 letter words too. It's not about immaturity, it's about human nature. We are animals after all.
