Why do we limit possibility in the world around us? Why do we need a definite outcome for every action? Why does a 'cause' yield a granted 'affect'? To promote order? Of course.
We're always seeking out stability in this world, ever-changing as the passing seasons. As mortals with a reality out of our grasp, we can only adapt to so much.
It seems that everywhere we turn, organization is underway, with definitions for every thought, idea. Some would say that such ordinances are used to pave way for bigger plans - stepping stones leading us towards a horizon of oppourtunity. Yet all I see are walls; growing taller and stronger with each restraint our minds establish as truths or laws of nature.
...They say that love conquers all. That it can stand the limits of time and transcend disease, plague, and natural disaster. But if these statements are anywhere near accurate, then why do limit our affection? We've seemed to put love in a vaccum and seal it away, hoping it's some sort of stable element that can be preserved and kept pure in reclusivity. Yet so often, we fear this isn't the case, and our limited affection towards one another proves our frequent doubts.
As with all things, our minds can only grasp so much. Have we, as humans ever been able to love completely, or accept it fully in return? Has love ever been pure or filled solely with good intentions in such a tainted world as this?
I'm guessing the chances are next to nothing in a world of fallible people - and for most, knowing that is a scary thing to accept.
Sometimes though, we have to. Without Love and affection, we'd be empty people; selfish and depraved, with every man for himself. We couldn't survive in such a place.
So, with this in mind, we must adapt - love others where others can't love us. Accept that others will let us down, others will break our trust, and burn bridges, knowing there is hope for restoration, if we're willing. Adversity can't box us in.
