Levelling Thoughts – The Fall in/of/for Love
Isnt it amazing this phrase “Fall/fell in love with”. What elation does it not bring in various people. Yet this phrase is used with so many others like “I dont love someone else”, “Take the relationship to next level”, “I am in love with two different …”, “I fell in love all over again”.
These gives a peculiar mental picture of love. As if it were like a hole or a pit where you fall. (For sometime I considered the analogy of the mouth of a monster where it is gulping u … but this analogy didnt fit that well).
Imagine love-land with a hole in the name of every human (If you prefer you can extend this to other living beings …but i consider it sick … or…well sicker than love atleast). Now here is what you happens when one falls in love – he basically takes a plunge into the the person’s hole with whom he/she has falln in love with. Here is the interesting part. Things basically depend on which level and pit you fall into.
- “I was so in love, but after 3 months I realized that it wont work out” – You fell to a level where you could just jump right out
- “It went for so long … but we were bored … it just didnt click anymore” – You crawled slowly out of the deeper level of the love pit
- You fall in but cannot get out, you feel suffocated , you wanna get out – “a hole with slippery walls” – you got married !! you idiot you applied that slippery grease yourself on those walls.
Some time you may fall to the level where you become jealous/possessive/protective. you are ejected out as son as you are discovered at this level. Which pit doesnt appreciate some extra people falling into it?
The pit theory explicates the dangers of Falling in love with two people at the same time, well wouldnt that hurt if u have one feet in this pit and other in the that. depending on the distance of these pits – u will end up with a wedgie or torn (if two far).
The pit where society/ people make you fall – ‘arranged marriage’ – its like .. we know you havent fallen with love with this person yet .. just marry ( we will give you a push) sooner or later with the slippery walls you will get deeper into the pit (read “fall in love”)
Divorce/break-ups are the escape routes(light at the end of the tunnel/pit or The monstor’s back side). You come out but bruised/tired because of thefall/ the failure to hang on. However, with the expression – well the ride was worth it! (how come u not be glad its over!)
