What do you think?
"i would do anything for her."
That's something that's said an awful lot these days, isn't it? For girls, change the her 2 him (or not xD) i was thinking about it today as i talked to a friend i hadn't actually...well, properly talked to in a few years (6-7?) and she brought up some interesting topics about relationships (in particular boy/girl) but also other relationships; that really started to make me think hahaha (as always.)
What does that actually mean? i think that basically it's a way of saying, or rather committing yourself to that person. Smart choice? I dont know, especially since it depends on the person we're talking about here. But i do know that around 99% of the people who say this would not jump off a cliff for the person in topic, and the 1% who would are just stupid.
I think literally, the statement is generally false. Symbolically though, even i use it. As a way of saying that the person means alot to me, that i care, and that they have my attention and dedication. each opinion to his own =)
Would you say that to somebody else? Apart from your girlfriend/boyfriend? Hahaha, hard isn't it. I know that i wouldn't walk up to a stranger on the street and just go, "hey, i would do anything for you" because things would probably get violent from there xD
On that note...i would be able to use it on friends. Some friends relatively easily. I know that when i mean that, it's more the aspect of me doing anything to be able to make them smile. If that includes walking to their house in the dead of the night and saying a brief hi before trying to beat the sunrise on the way back(which i have done before XD) or even small things, so small till perhaps it just includes a smile and a wave as you pass them.
My dad says that this particular phrase,
"it's the thought that counts"
is really cheap XD (sorry lads). To be honest i think it's cheap, only when it's used cheaply. When somebody cant be bothered to pull out the extra money to buy something special, or cant be bothered to pull out the money at all; i think that yea, it's cheap. But if somebody really tried their best to make that person happy, and gave it alot of attention and dedication? I think that it's a very usable phrase; because ultimately, it's not the object that you GIVE, that matters, it's the person's REACTION to the object you give, and how their FEELINGS change, when you give that object.
For example, on valentines day, i could give my girlfriend a dead quokka, telling her that it took me all night to catch the bloody thing and beat it up so she wouldn't have to feed it. Or i could take the time to make her a card, buy a rose for her, or even make the extra effort just to see her on that particular day.
Perhaps my analogy isn't that good hahaha xD But i'm sure that even if you dont agree, you can see what i'm getting at.
One person did that to strangers, one person told strangers that they mean everything to him, and that he'd die for them. Yeap, not just one stranger, a whole world full of them.
Doesn't take a proverbial genius to see where i'm going with this. It overly and overly amazes me at how the God of the universe could send His son down to die for us. And even though we were, sure all His children, but at the same time relative strangers; He just...went ahead with it. Bridged the gap between here and heaven.
Now if you dont call that amazing Love; i honestly cant say that you're a human.
Haiz wouldn't you just love it if somebody off the street came up to you and promised to be there everytime you were sad, to help you everytime you needed it, to comfort you in times of trouble...to stick with you regardless?
Hahaha, actually you'd probably freak out first hey xD
But i guess it's good to get that...attention? I think that it's something in humans, that everybody wants to be wanted. Not selfish ambition (well, it is in a way); but at the same time just human nature to be wanted, to be cared for, to be loved.
Thank you for all the people who have been with me through all my troubling times, times of doubt, hurt, pain and sorrow. I can't express that enough; you all mean an awful lot to me.
Hahah duh, nobody would want a friend who'd abandon you when you needed them most.
so then, ....
what do you think?
