I am going to write on a matter that is not so typical of this blog. Love. So many people read about it, experience it, and yearn for it in all its forms. With Spring right around the corner here in North America; What better time than now to discuss how people use love as a tool and corrupt the hearts of so many of us.
The Easter bunny is renowned for the hiding of eggs and ushering in the time of love and the beginnings of relationships. The bunny is also synonymous with reproduction and so many babies out there that were conceived in the Spring. The act of reproduction, itself has become more a form of communication than an expression of love. Music, film, and television have turned sex into a contest rather than the sacred act that so many people now take for granted. The corruption lies in the corporations tactics to sell products and services using sex as a tool. I am not some religious zealot, either. I am just stating facts.
Look at the young ages that children are becoming sexually active. Boys are now in rap videos slapping half naked women on their asses and "spittin' rhymes about bitches and ho's" long before their voice has even started cracking. Women in the music industry use their beauty and overall sex appeal to sell their songs. This is no new strategy, however, the messages they are relaying are becoming more and more pervasive and go against many morals and values. This has proved a s a catalyst for young boys to try and manipulate women into sex long before they are ready.
Technology has also played a huge role in this trend with the advent of video and photo sharing via texts. Cyber-bullying has become so prevalent it is a wonder the rate of teen suicide hasn't skyrocketed as of yet. It is only a matter of time before the speed and price of this technology has become so fast and cheap, respectively, that 95% of the northern hemisphere owns 4G smartphones with unlimited data. When this happens; the rate of cybercrime is sure to get a huge jolt.
More pressure and steeper penalties should be enforced for people proven to be cyber-bullies. Young women and sometimes men sending nude photos to their mate, only to have their trust broken by seeing that photo sent to hundreds of schoolmates is enough to send anyone reeling into a spiral of despair and depression.
On the more ethical side of the love equation; The act of sex, itself, is now looked as being something with far less meaning and purpose than it was even five and ten years ago. The days of chivalry and romance are dwindling into such rarity that the ripple effect could eventually morph into drastic loss of emotion between human beings. This could make lasting, detrimental impressions upon the up and coming generations of youth to come.
Most everyone wants to have companionship or some form of love in their lives. Too often, people find themselves alone and hurt with life passing them by due to the malice they hold in their hearts for the person who betrayed or hurt them. Trust is the gateway to the love which resides in our hearts. Once we lend someone the key to that gate; It is then their choice how well they protect it. If they choose to steal your trust and therefore your heart, make no mistake that the sting often leaves a lingering venom in your veins. My advice is to forgive, never forget, and move on with your life more intuitively and wisely.
Holding hurt and malice anywhere in your emotional or physical body leads to worsening health and social environments. I know this from experience. Hell I am literally writing a book about my life filled with such pain and trials. I am now far more inclined to remove the person who caused the pain from my life and forgive them while turning the malice into pity. This allows me to heal emotionally, while giving myself more room to grow in ways which do nothing but benefit me by way of adding to my reservoir of wisdom. Rather than exacting your revenge; streamline your emotional radar.
