First on my way TO work, the two lanes were merging past Farm and Fleet, in front of me is a large, white SUV. As we're merging, I see the SUV kind of steer left and right fast; before I know it, a huge piece of cardboard flys from under it's tires and onto my car! I pulled over to the side of the road to let it fly off.
Thinking I'd had enough of this excitement for one day I work and then drive back...Well on the way back it's getting dark and as I proceed to go from 55 to 60 mph, I just see Bambi strutting across the road like no big deal. Like he's saying "Slow down, Bitch!".
....And I almost hit a chipmunk turning into my subdivision....
Anyway!
That wasn't supposed to be the real topic of this blog.
The real topic is actually about a thing we discussed in my Acting 1 class from my freshman year.
My teacher Jay, had us all sit in a circle and we had a class dicussion about the two biggest emotions humans experience: Love and Hate.
It was all based on calling our emotions to surface when we were reading dialogue, to make the words believable. But all the things we talked about hold true for every day life.
"Think about the two strongest feelings one can experience. Which one is stronger?"
Sitting there, I knew that what I wanted to say was the exact opposite of the truth. He went around the circle, just asking...
"Hate," I said.
Just think about it. It's so easy, in comparison, to love.
It takes a whole hell of a lot more to hate someone.
Loving is about demanding yourself to be happy...which shouldn't be hard. You can't help but feel like your heart's going to burst from being with this person and it's the best, light-hearted feeling in the world.
Hating demands thinking about that person and mustering up this dark, angry, negative feeling. Nobody likes feeling this.
And in all reality, we CHOOSE to hate.
We don't necessarily choose or consciously control whom we end up loving.
That's just my opinion though, what are your thoughts?
Faire starts in 9 days!!!
I've always thought its way easier to hate than it is to love but maybe thats just me.
