As was the theme of the 60s, it rings far more true in modern times.
Just look at all the wrongs in the world.
To keep this diary short, I have been in love with someone for a long time and I will always be, even if nothing comes from it. I have had a crush on her since we were in middle school. I cannot explain any of it but I prefer not to.
It is both uplifting and depressing at the same time. More below.
It's easy to become cynical and be angry at the world. But you cannot deny that one of the basic human traits that has ensured our survival, is our ability to love each other.
Whether it's romantic love or universal love, humans always have a need to connect and feel connected to one another.
I am just the type that has a difficult time dealing with the latter type of love.
We can apply the idea of universal love to the state our world is in. Also, think about politics in general.
Where's the love?
All I see is hatred and bitterness within a group of folks that identify with a certain ideology or political party.
Indeed, where is the love?
And before you tell me that you are cynical and you will never love again, you are doubting yourself and you need to look deeper inside of yourself and resolve those issues.
And to cap off my real reason for wanting to write this diary, I enlist the help of Queen and the late Freddie Mercury to represent my feelings:
Crazy Little Thing Called Love
This thing called love I just can't handle it
this thing called love I must get round to it
I ain't ready
Crazy little thing called love
This (This Thing) called love
(Called Love)
It cries (Like a baby)
In a cradle all night
It swings (Woo Woo)
It jives (Woo Woo)
It shakes all over like a jelly fish,
I kinda like it
Crazy little thing called love
There goes my baby
She knows how to Rock n' roll
She drives me crazy
She gives me hot and cold fever
Then she leaves me in a cool cool sweat
I gotta be cool relax, get hip
Get on my track's
Take a back seat, hitch-hike
And take a long ride on my motor bike
Until I'm ready
Crazy little thing called love
I gotta be cool relax, get hip
Get on my track's
Take a back seat, hitch-hike
And take a long ride on my motor bike
Until I'm ready (Ready Freddie)
Crazy little thing called love
This thing called love I just can't handle it
this thing called love I must get round to it
I ain't ready
Crazy little thing called love
No matter what your background, I am sure you can relate the the above song and also what I have been trying to say.
And yes, we can use love in a political sense. I think that more Americans need to be loved because Conservatism is living proof that money matters over love.
In November, we're gonna have a huge love-fest when our ideology wins. The tides are turning. There's a paradigm shift underway...
