For the first time I saw a music video of Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore singing the song “Way Back Into Love”, which is the theme song for their movie, Music and Lyrics. With deep fascination I listened and paid particular attention to its lyrics. Ang ganda! Exactly tells of what is happening to us all – so lost in love na.
Shortly after the song ended I was transported back in time when my good lady friend, who, after her marriage failure, fell in love for the second time and was already hopeful, described to me her hurt following unexpected turn of events (the supposed-boyfriend “dropped her for dead” allegedly because he cannot endure the pain of waiting). She found out later that there was pala actually a “third party” involved. The j***!
The best that I could do to perhaps ease her pain was to tell her in assurance that she is so loved by God she was spared from such a confused person because had she gotten hitched again, their ending would have exactly been the same as her first marriage failure - especially because the boyfriend, according to her, came from numerous failed marriages already. He was a foreigner.
Ganyan ang buhay. We keep repeating the same mistakes many times over until we really learn the lessons hidden beneath. Now she is back as she had been before, but she tells me she is sure it will be brief this time around. Mabuti naman.
When we unconsciously decide to remain cowards to face the fact that true love involves a hell lot of pains, we are definitely going to end up as losers. Winning is not necessarily ending up with someone in our life to grow old together with. Life is all about friendships and service. And love is not exclusive (M. Scott Peck, THE DIFFERENT DRUM).
Gary Zukav, in his book SEAT OF THE SOUL, tells us that when we can find something worth doing and doesn’t tire us, that is our life purpose. But finding our life purpose entails processes with God as the starting point. Because God is love, and we are already so lost in love, we must be brave to face the pain to find love back again. We have to check inside us honestly to find out baka naman what we have are excess baggage pala.
Starting all over again with God and holding on to Him no matter what will definitely lead us to find our real life purpose. If I love you and you love me, it does not matter where we are situated individually. You are there and I am here. The important thing is, WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING FOR GOD’S GREATER GLORY.
There is so much to be done about. We must get out of our comfort zones and be strong enough to change for the better to make our world a better place to live in because meron tayong nag-iisang Earth lang. Again, unless we learn to love ourselves we cannot love others. When we cannot love others it is much more impossible to love our planet Earth.
Love you everyone! God bless us.
