mediocre love??

sms quotes tell us that if its not mad, passionate love, you should not be in it. because there are too many mediocre things in life, and love should not be one of them.

but come to think of it, love is a league of its own. its a feeling far more intense than liking... liking has many levels... but when you reach the point when you know deep inside that it is love, it becomes a whole new playing field... (but games in that field i know nothing about... i have to browse through a decade's worth of cosmo for some how-to's...)

anyway, i think, ideally, if you are certain that it is love, then you need not worry that it does not drive you mad or incredibly passionate... not having the butterflies or not having the urge to tell the world you love someone through crazy and selfless acts cannot always be equated to having mediocre love. maybe a more subtle approach to the relationship is what you need for you not to burn out so soon. to approace something with too much intensity often results in a catastrophy...

what is mediocre love? i dont know. probably its something that makes you think its love but actually. its not. maybe the mediocre love referred to in text messages is actually a tempered approach to the relationship, contrary to the extremely romantic intoxicating suffocating sappy i-burn-for-you approach. (tapos tanga lang yung gumawa ng txt or ndi ganun kaarticulate kaya naging "mediocre love" hehe)

personally, i dont think there is such a thing. and how can you refuse love? if to love and be loved is the whole point of our existence, how dare you measure it? how dare you refuse it? how dare you try to classify it into the desirable kind and the undesirable kind? love in any form or intensity must not be rejected. if it is the whole point of our existence... if it is true that when we die, the people in our lives shall remember us for how we loved...

peace and love to all!
