Focus on Current, not the End

I am involved in a very serious love affair recently. I was narrating my love story to a matured sweet child of mine to elicit her viewpoint. She was repetitively insisting on me for reaching the end of the story fast in which, she said, she was most interested. By end, she meant either a marriage or a termination of the relationship. In principle, which I explained to her, there is no end of a love story until the two involved die. Marriage is, in no case, is the end but a new beginning of the love story. As far as I am concerned, it is a matter of greatest importance to both of us that we two are in love today. This happiness of today should not be paralyzed by wild thoughts on the end of the love story. In love as well as in life, the present is the key to everything and we must keep this in our focus. What is your view, friends?

It's important to live in 'the now' or 'the present' as you've highlighted very clearly in your points of views. As it is said; "Live your life the fullest as you would die tomorrow". But many people want to feel security, to know in the heart and mind that things will remain until the next day and furthermore. There is no guarantees for having it tomorrow. Life can change in a thousand of a second from one condition in to another.

My dear, your words are full of wisdom. I put your expression in other words 'Live as if everything is yours, die as if nothing belongs to you.' Next moment is known to anybody, so we must enjoy our present.

Your soul-being in your human body has access to all material and everything in the human world, but when your time is up for your soul to move on into the spiritual dimensions there is something else there.

Enjoy the love and let the story continue. Since you are matured enough to love, take up the love challenges as and when it pops up and the thoughts of ending can be put on hold. We all know some day we have to die but that is not a botheration for us in our daily life. Like so, just go on and enjoy.

I agree with you about the current and not the end as the importance of any story. As a writer, I can even let the end in a suspence, for the reader to decide. It is the development of the things which give a story its strenght. I am in the middle of 2 love stories of my own. From the outside maybe they are not to be considered love stories. But the first, and most important for me, is what and how to go on living, fighting with my lymphoma and chemo and yet mantaining a good quality of life. This leads to the second story, in the present also, that has to be with a relation with people. I have some very interesting and interested friends and, from my computer, I am taking part in the problems that are happening in my country. There´s a big student protest with massive movements. The authorities, rightists, want that to end it with no solutions for big problems. I don´t have to march to help. I can write and send ideas. This is present, this is a story, this is life. This movement has grwn so much that students in other countries in South America ar taking it up as their own. Present, life and, hopefully, a good end. For the time being, I´m proud to have a generation of fighters.

My dear Marguicha, your words are always inspiring. I don't think in futuristic terms about my love, so enjoy its present fact that we are in intense love for each other. This pleasure is enough for a lifetime,

COngratulations in finding the love of your life. I agree when you said that a love story doesn't really end. I also live my life one day at a time focusing on what I have now... SOmetimes we try to foresee what lies ahead and by doing that we forget today and regret that tomorrow.

Thanks dear for the kind gesture. Every love story is endless. For this reason I call my love story as 'Saga of My Love-Perfect', being published serially on another site in the form of love letters.

Yes, you're right. There are so many uncertaincies in the world that shake our believes nowadays. We need a strong belief and determination to get the fruit of happiness. Thinking too much about future might be a burden to us. But I think one thing should be careful is to find the right guy. Well, how can we know that? Sometimes we know by our sixth sense.

We met online about 3 years back, and since then we have been fast friends without any inclination for loving each other in its present sense. She is of very reserve type and me an strict disciplinarian. It was dream I saw about mutual love. I narrated the dream to her, and she told me that she was dying for being in such a relationship. We became happy lovers since then. My sub-conscious mind created awareness in me about my true love through that dream. This is what you call as sixth sense.

You have given ur age as 62. Perhaps u are single now. Falling in love at this age is somewhat strange. Because most of us may have health problems, family problems, etc,. and that will not make u think about other things. In this age normally people show more interest in their grand children - perhaps u are mentioning about that. good day.
