It’s quite possible that we all subconsciously know the meaning of life and yet we live it obliviously.
When I say “the meaning of life” essentially I’m talking about what motivates you. I can speak for myself (and maybe a couple hundred thousand that agree), but I sincerely say that I live for love and passion. I love music. I love words. I love positive energy. These are the things that fuel me. These are the things I desire and beg the higher powers for before I lay. This is where I get my peace of mind. Maybe I’m a helpless romantic, or maybe I’m what most people are when their “cool” shell has been penetrated.
I’m starting to see a lot of younger people favor material possessions over things that should matter more. The common battle that most of us are familiar with is job versus love. The irony is that the very thing that could make you head-over-heels for someone (work ethic, drive, business savvy) could be the most detrimental to a relationship.
It’s easier to fall for a Carrie then Miranda, I suppose. It’s easier to fall for a Carrie then Miranda, I suppose. Some people become so consumed with personal goals and aspirations that they can’t find a second to love, let alone allow someone to love them. There is nothing more attractive then a woman with a career… not job, but a career. I’m pretty sure a woman would rather date a man with a 9-to-5 then a guy with no job (other then occupying an older family member’s couch) who shows more interest in his Madden stats then your day. There is absolutely nothing wrong with reaching for the stars in your career, but what if it hinders your opportunity for love?
If it’s true that you only get one true love, are we supposed to jeopardize losing it for material gains? We are here to love and be fruitful. I suppose. But I’m starting to think that may just be old school optimism.
These days it feels like everyone’s going for the money. That’s probably why our generation considers fucking > making love. My question to the ones who put their job over love: What happens once you have all the worldly possessions you desire and never find someone you love whole-heartedly? Or who loves you for more then what you own? Just my thoughts, people, just my thoughts… - Wale
