Let the "Weak" Say I Am Strong

I was once told that women are especially prone to blame themselves when their relationships with their loved ones came to an end. It is because as girls, they were socialised to pay more attention on building close relationships with people - a feminine trait that shall distinguish themselves from men.

This article is for those, men and women, who have experienced a broken heart, for they have willingly opened their heart for love in the first place. I personally think that a long-lasting relationship which is based on an everlasting love (moreover, those relationships who have been firmed through formal, legal commitment) is a blessing; for love is "inherently fickle and capricious" indeed.

Original Sin // The Ugly Truth

No, it's not about this movie:

Original Sin - 2001 movie

...and it's not about this one either:

The Ugly Truth - 2009 movie

But it's about this one:

Aramis - Scene from "The Man in the Iron Mask" (1998)

....because we wanted to be god; to be exact, masters of our own life (if not of others' as well).


....ever since the beginning, biblically speaking:

And we are certainly not the first one to want that. This guy went for it first:

William Blake's illustration of Lucifer as presented in John Milton's Paradise Lost; 
a powerful, strong image standing with pride; honestly can you stop looking at him?
Imagine yourself standing like that, when everything is seems to be under your control?

But can we really do that?

Question: What are these (human invention) for?

Obviously we can't do/control this:

Call that a fluke, blame it to somebody/something else. But we can't do this too:

Does this look like a fluke?

Now I wouldn't call that a fluke. I'd call that an intellectual masterpiece.


So there's this behind the universe:

Don't expect to see it. Many things we can't see but exists, like this.

and we're here:

Where are we?  Point me.

It turns out this kind of ritual  thing activ(e)ity is not so hard to understand makes sense:

Yeah, maybe we're more likely to admire ourselves when we see ourselves doing this pose:

than this one:

Now if we go back to this guy:

Aramis - Scene from "The Man in the Iron Mask" (1998)

...................................................................

Yeah, I know.

So many times I feel the same too:
