So I'm sitting here on the bus, a little bored. We just finished watching the Hobbit, which I half watched, and half slept through. My friend beside me is playing a card game in which I have no interest, and the people on my right are playing matchmaking. And they look like they are enjoying it waaaaay too much. I can't lie, I would probably enjoy it too. And as much as I wanted to say something, it didn't really look like they were interested in including anybody. I thought a little to myself, "what makes topics like these so interesting?"
It took me a while. It's matchmaking. Who wouldn't want to share their opinions on other's compatibilities with another person, and giggle on how good or bad it would be? I gotta admit, it's actually really fun to mess with or imagine other peoples love lives and discuss it with others. Its like discussing shipping. (Google it if you don't know)
Then a different perspective hit me: it's fun to imagine these things. But what if you actually try to put it in motion? Is that really okay? You're manipulating two peoples emotions to satisfy your imagination, it's like playing god (sorta). So is it really for the better or the worst? What if its well intended? What if two people would be really be good for each other, but you as a friend thinks they need a little push?
I happened to be one of those people in a couple that "needed a little push". So we were given one by a common friend. But right now, I'm still not really sure whether it was a good idea or not. We had started the relationship, and the best and worst times of my life occurred. When it was still going on, I thought it was a really bad thing. But now, I'm not so sure. Was my past (and only) relationship a more positive relationship, or a more negative relationship?
So when I heard the people beside me discussing how they can start couples going together (just theories) I kind of went into a down mode of tuning people out so I could think of an answer.
I couldn't think of one, so I decides to write this down. I still don't have an answer.
Why does love have to be such a simple yet complex drama-inducing topic?
