D2’s general philosophies on love
Jun. 4th, 2007 07:00 amD2 has three general philosophies on love. They are as follows:
1. You have to like someone before you love them. I don’t believe in love at first sight, but I do believe in physical attraction at first sight. But there’s also the attraction of getting to know someone, in other words getting to “like” them. Once that prerequisite is out of the way, then you can really “love” someone.
2. People’s hearts change. The reason most high school sweetheart relationships fail is because people change. It’s a fact of life that the relationships we formed growing up because of convenient geographic distance don’t hold so well once the glue of high school is gone. It’s not impossible for long distance relationships to work, but it’s difficult. Plus, people are always changing. If your significant other can’t understand that, then you’re going to have many, many problems.
3. You have to dream the same dream. This is the most difficult step in any relationship, and the one that must be hurdled before a ring can be offered or accepted. Let’s say you have a doctor and a teacher who are dating. Just to be politically correct, we’ll say the doctor is the female and the teacher is the male. With such a large pay scale and socioeconomic difference, there must be something that holds them together greater than what can be seen on the surface. Let us suppose that the doctor and teacher dreams of changing the world. Then that would be the uniting dream of their relationship, the raison d'être of their joining. If they didn’t dream that same dream, they would eventually break apart.
