the tale of andromeda - "evak"

Prologue

Love may not be air, may not be water, oxygen, but we definitely need it. Not in a cliché way where both people act like complete fools, though. We need love in a way our family, friends, and lover, can go out of our lives, yet their presence lingers. In a way that makes us wish the best towards people who utterly dislike us. In a way that makes us see a greek god looking back at us in the mirror. In a way that we feel delight when those we dislike succeed. That love do we need.

So, love. Deliver red roses on women's day and smile daily. Life is too short to hate.

As a matter of fact, hate takes control of you and not only blinds you, but also, it makes you more vulnerable of getting cancer. Sigmund Freud used to say the mind controls you, , your illness, and everyhting around you. Philosophy can be boring, unless you get a grip of it. Who am I? Empiricism or Rationalism? Endless questions we all have an answer to. I do not believe that philosophy is universal, I think that all the answers are personal and we are all philosophers in a certain way.

It is natural, to wonder, somewhere did I read that the world belongs to curious minds, and I agree. Wondering is human, it's childlike. One reason to keep being a kid, no matter what your age is. Wonder, ask, see this world with awe filled eyes. Get overwhelmed by ants and the weight they can carry, by the colours of the rainbow and the smile of the ones you love.

Several people think the smart thing to do is being hateful towards the ones who do you wrong. Foolish is what they are; ignorant. I say love them, that will do.
