The Tricky Thing

As streams roll down my face, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I can repeat that over and over and it doesn't matter in the end...
Love is a tricky thing...For most it is wanted.
Wanted Immediately and wanted promised with all the factors fairy tales include.
...For many it is kind...
The one thing read about most frequently in books, books of all genre and ages, is love. Love stories of good and evil. More common than not, ending with heart breaks than happily ever afters...
... For some it is envied and boastful and proud...
We are all jealous..Those that flaunt their acquired focus on opinion and let the world inside. Then make it a comparison vs. others happiness instead of ones own.
... For few it does not dishonor others, it is not self seeking, and it is not easily angered...
Cheating is a sin. It is common. Sins are common, so be it. Dishonor is hurt. Hurting your other with oneself through actions and other beings. Self-seeking is now the form of mating. One must go out and "find" their match or be either rarely lucky or unloved. And not to mention, both of these are angering.
... For fewer it keeps no records of wrongs..
Backstabbing, referring to the past, "you did this, you did that" scenarios, they're all the same. Stored in the aged, spider webbed compartments in the very embedded files at the back are the bad memories. The ones you want to forget but are always somehow remembered.
... For the rare it does not delight in evil and rejoice in the truth..
Simply: we are liars..

Again,
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry...
But what does it matter...

Love is promised only to always protect, always trust, always hope, and always persevere.
Where are all of these factors in the one we "love"?

Love is contradicting. No matter which way its viewed. It has wrongs and rights and ups and downs, but it's out there; flawless, and perfect. It could be so simple and fair,but love is the tricky thing.



"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away."
- 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8
