The Rules

The wise Rabindranath Tagore, the author of the book I used to call my bedtime bible 'The Crescent Moon' gave us all a really good reminder that 'age considers; youth ventures.' Hence, all the nagging and repetitive advice we get from parents that cannot seem to ring into our heads when they are desperately needed. Why? Because we have to learn from experience. Experiences can be really expensive if they have monetary values and we are all bound to be millionares if experiences are high in demand for sale. How I wish these valuable experiences are not the outcome of mistakes but I find no good argument to doubt bad judgments do make us wiser people. No heartbreaks mean no maturing, yes?

Young souls tend to invest whatever they can because the best asset they can offer is their youth but the capacity of willingness to 'give' diminishes when one ages because the more one collapses the more careful he walks the next time. You are walking so careful it irritates me. You are pampered by my venture and care not to venture further on me. To you, it all ends with the same deadlock. You do not observe the basic Rule of Love and your coldness exposes how cowardice you are in nature. You told me your friends are making bad investments and so you do not want the unintended wastage happening on yourself. I was hurt. Badly hurt and weeping inside to learn of your sentiment.

I could have told you I will not be a failed investment for I am willing to wait. But it seems not to matter because you are who you are, haunted by your past. What kind of love is this if you are not willing to give and I cannot take anything? Sigh ...

There are three fundamental but justifiable postulates of the Rule of Law formulated by Albert Venn Dicey but none for the Rule of Love. May I suggest three ideals for the Rule of Love, in that:

(1) Love is the highest form of law and no law shall be put unto love.
(2) Love unlike investment is a charity.
(3) Love is only a small piece of puzzle to complete your life.
