Hello again!
So, after starting my daily routine, I began my morning catch up with Facebook and Sportscenter, checking emails, praying a job offer may have come in over coffee, my usual. I swear if I could be a good liar, I'd make a killing in the sales sector. Anyways, there was a jewelry commercial on that suggested love is connected to how many rocks that have led to the slaughter of women and children you buy your wife/ girlfriend. Did I say rocks that inspire murder- I meant diamonds. My bad.
Let me get this straight- people believe love is something quantifiable by material possession? No wonder we have a 60% divorce rate! Love is opening doors, holding hands, hugs for no reason, kisses on the forehead, not being a jerk about minor personal flaws, and so on. Gifts are like gravy on mashed potatoes: if the potatoes suck, gravy aint gonna cover it up, just make it barely palatable- so long as the gravy still amply covers the yucky stuff. It is my experience that when the mashed potatoes and the gravy are masterfully prepared, so is the dessert course.
Yes, love is like mashed potatoes and gravy. No, I don't care to tell you how I came up with that- rest assured it made sense to me as I typed it, and continued to do so after I re-read it. Love is not going to (jewelry store on annoying commercials) kisses begin with affection, not (another jewelry store). I guess what I am trying to say is gift giving is not a substitute for sustained, sincere actions of affection- gifts supplement those actions.
So, what do you think, eh? Do you think that gifts are, in fact, the only true expression of love? Do you believe that a rock on a metal hoop really is an effective display of affection? Comment/ reply, like me, and don't forget to visit the sponsors that interest you!
