i was introduced (kind of) to this song by someone whom i barely know, yet feel like i know. but more about that later.
before the worst, before we met before our hearts decided it's time to love again before too late, before too long let's try and take it back before it all went wrong
sometimes, looking back, going back - wistfully, hopefully, is indeed the worst that one can do.
i think i've written much about this, too much, to be truthful, and thus i'll just leave this as it is.
moving on (hahaha, pun fully intended), there will be, invariably, people whom you will meet whom you will not like immediately, feel dislike initially, before growing to appreciate that person. then, there are those whom you will like instantly, for no apparent reason at all, and find them really intriguing and attractive.
i think that this is because, in some abstract, yet categorical manner, the 2 persons are fundamentally alike.
it could be interests that are shared in common, but more subtly, similar life outlook, beliefs, experiences, can lead to such inherent and basic, almost instinctive affection for that person.
while it has been said that opposites attract, i do it believe that it is a saying entirely true. let me explain why.
a magnet analogy has been most frequently used to describe and explain this thinking, and not without reason too.
quite simply, 2 similar poles of a magnet repel each other, while the 2 polar opposites (the north and the south poles) attract each other. in a like manner, people who are similar are more likely to not get along with each other, especially with regards to romantic relationships, whereas those who are dissimilar are more likely to be fond of each other.
granted there is truth in such a theory, i do not consider it to be the entire truth. the north pole of a magnet attracts the south pole of another magnet, yes, but this notion is based on a similarity taken for granted: that both items being attracted to each other have to be magnets!
a magnet cannot attract a piece of wood, or plastic, or wool and when taken into perspective, it simply blows the belief that take 2 people who are entirely disparate from each other and they will hit off as if cupid is shooting arrows like a late game potm (ok lame, lame dota comparison) out of the water.
the comparably lower incidence of inter-racial marriages is an ideal paradigm of my point - that differences do not guarantee attraction. if so, such unions should very much be the norm, and in fact, marriages within the same ethnic group should indeed be the exception, because similars are supposed to repel too.
i'll end a little uncustomarily for me, with a cheer as much for myself as for the team tomorrow.
