love and hate

on Jumat, 20 Maret 2009

A love-hate relationship is a personal relationship involving simultaneous or alternating emotions of love and enmity. Sometimes the person may love the other person/object, but hate oneself for it. This relationship does not have to be of a romantic nature, and may be insteaad of a sibling one (for exemple Ben and Gwen in the first Ben 10 serie). It may occur when people have completely lost the intimacy within a loving relationship, yet still retain some passion for, or perhaps some commitment to, each other.

It is used most frequently in psychology, popular writing and journalism, much more so than in everyday discourse, and almost never amongst the individuals of whom it is predicated. It can be extended to relationships with inanimate objects, or even concepts.[1] In popular journalism, it is often employed speculatively by writers to explain the relationship between celebrity couples who have been divorced, then who reunite (notably Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton or Eminem and Kimberly "Kim" Scott).

A related theme is "obligatory friendship", where usually one party feels indebted to another and forges a friendship but still holds a grudge over a particular past disappointment or set of disappointments, while the "creditor" in the relationship agrees to the nature of the relationship often for security reasons, but remains aware of the "debtor's" grudge and feels counter-indebted until the cause of the grudge is sufficiently overcome.

The concept is frequently used in teen romance novels where two characters are shown to hate each other but show some sort of affection or attraction towards each other at certain points of the story. The concept of a love-hate relationship is frequently used in teen novels to describe the romance between a good girl and a bad boy.

It can be argued that, due to the fact that the subjects love each other despite issues they have, a love hate relationship actually represents a stronger bond than a simple love relationship does. Also since a constant hatred is felt, any new issues which emerge are unlikely to put the relationship in jeopardy. However it is also true that no real happiness may be attained from such a relationship as there would always be discontentment and no peace.

Love Is a Many Splendored Thing

Love is a many splendored thing
It's the April rose that only grows in the early spring
Love is nature's way of giving a reason to be living
The golden crown that makes a man a king
Once on a high and windy hill
In the morning mist two lovers kissed and the world stood still
Then your fingers touched my silent heart and taught it how to
sing
Yes, true love's a many splendored thing

Once on a high and windy hill
In the morning mist two lovers kissed and the world stood still
Then your fingers touched my silent heart and taught it how to
sing
Yes, true love's a many splendored thing

Cobalah membaca kembali lirik lagu
di atas
dan dapatkah
elo katakan
ada yang
salah di situ?

Nothing at all
Coz it's true....
Love is a many splendored thing

Kekuatan Cinta & Kasih Sayang

on Kamis, 22 Januari 2009

Tahun lalu, rekan saya Harry Utomo menjadi pembicara di sebuah seminar bersama seorang pembicara dari Australia, yaitu Nick Vujicic. Nick Vujicic terlahir sebagai anak yang tidak memiliki tangan dan kaki, tetapi dia adalah seorang pengusaha di bidang investasi dan menjadi inspirator/motivator yang berkeliling dunia membagikan Cinta Kasih Tuhan kepada semua orang. Memilik tubuh cacat bukan halangan untuk maju dan sukses dalam hidup.

Saya merenung, bagaimana seandainya saya tidak memiliki tangan? Tidak memiliki kaki? Tidak punya kecerdasan yang memadai alias idiot? Apakah saya mampu menjadi salah satu sinar terang di dunia ini?

Hee Ah Lee, salah satu bukti bahwa Tuhan selalu punya rencana dibalik apa yang Dia gariskan. Hee Ah Lee menunjukkan sekali lagi, kekuatan cinta dan kasih sayang adalah sumber energi yang jauh melampaui apa pun. Membuat yang tidak mungkin menjadi mungkin.
