Where Are We?

The question came to mind when thinking about this vast subject of love and relationships to start with "Where Are We.?". I ask this of all of you for this very reason, but before I state that let me first explain..by no means am I a highly trained professional on the art of love and relationships by no means. I'm just a guy, a regular human being who has been given the capacity to feel, love along with probably 50 other emotions I often wish at times I didn't have to experience, but then again perhaps that is the sum of it all, yes? Our own individual experiences.

With that said "Where Are We?" becomes just a metaphor for a constant "emotional state". I'm probably not the only one experiencing this and in asking this, I do understand just as we all are physically in different locations throughout this world, I can only imagine the diversity in "where" we all think we are as individuals.

So with that being said, without further ado I am attempting to ask this of everyone, yet I know there are tons of people that will probably visit this site that either cannot or refuse to relate in understanding the the subject matter that will probably be discussed on this blog. For some people are very concerning, kind, loving and caring, intelligent..unfortunately far too many are the exact opposite. People like that often strike me as beyond the scope of reasonable communication in the pursuit of mutual understanding. Sad to say but I understand that you cannot reason with insanity.

So not being judgmental, just stating the results from my own personal observations that conclude..some people can "comprehend "love" in it's many beautiful forms, and for some the concern for anything else other than their own existence may come to them as difficult , almost impossible it seems.

Henceforth, this is probably the reason why we suffer the way we do in relationships and in marriages. The stealthy games that people have developed to mislead and feed off of the love energy of others literally like vampires on an insatiable feast. The many tools of deception that they use as if they are a species in their natural stages of evolution with "to hurt" or "be hurt" as their manifesto. This seems to have become the default standard attitude of far too many now a days. As it damages us all we too began to adapt, the loving who is now afraid to love, the caring who is too afraid to care..the trusting who is terrified to trust any more. The hopeful who has now lost the incentive to hope.

So perhaps...the question "Where Are We?" is the proverbial milestone marker along the road to me, the head count after a massive free for all that has left everyone punch drunk and unconscious. The sad part is? We are carrying on as if "nothing" is wrong....as if no one see's the obvious "Pink Elephant" that is standing right in the middle of the room. So in that I ask... I beg to reason, I yearn for an understanding of how ...just how.. did we all get here like this? You may ask "like what"? Well for those who are happily in love then of course none of this applies to you and consider yourself among the precious and few. For those that are not happily in love, single, etc., haven't you noticed how "expendable" we all seem to be in how we treat each other? So in that I ask.."Where Are We"?

Let's hope that you too have not become so damaged by everything that I just talked about to where you too have become one of them? You may ask "Them who"? The ones from the other side..the uncaring, the unloving.. the humans who allowed themselves to be turned into heartless machines. All the while, in the name of love. I just do not want to ever become one of them...no matter what i may go thru in the name of love.
