Misery Loves Company
Misery loves company; unless it is the person you love. There is nothing like the guilt of causing harm to the one person who brings you the most joy and happiness the world has to offer. Love can conquer all things however; even things that are out of one's control. But then that in itself can be an issue. Can it be possible to determine what is in our hands or apart of God's plan? Maybe we blame too much on God and not enough on the actions of ourselves. Nevertheless, the misfortune of some of our actions either stand the test or fail the test of love. Inseparable is the only adjective that can be used to describe the two. The passion for each other outweighed the fear of each other's health. We all take risks in our lives, however, the definition of a risk includes the inability to predict the outcome of a situation. She knew exactly what the outcome would be, but felt her passion for him outweighed her desire for a healthier life. Nothing was wrong until he started changing his ways. Everyone is afraid of change and that is the reason why the differences were so difficult to bear. We especially fear what we do not understand. She didn't understand why it was he didn't have the drive to do the things they used to do. Their relationship had thrived off of the energy which was fed off of each other. When the energy left, so did much of the joy. However, the love never left. The biggest problem with change in a relationship is that we complain over this individual not being the one we fell in love with. The issue with that is, is that too big of an expectation? Do you really expect a significant other to be the same weight or act the exactly the same as he or she did when you first met them. His weight loss and lack of energy was not a thought to be anything malignant, just a sign of laziness. If you are too lazy to get food, you will clearly lose weight and will lose energy because of the lack of food. These were indefinitely signs of the beginning of something of great concern for him and her. Naturally, distance began to form between the two. Distance caused by the expectation that time would heal all wounds, without the knowledge of this being something here to stay. On a later encounter, she realized that he was even worse than he was before the break. In addition to the heightened traits he was previously exhibiting, he also seemed as if he had been bruised from fighting and rashed possibly from some kind of foliage. He was not the same. Mental and physical changes continued to occur from this point on; so many that these were clearly not a series of one time occurrences. Her concern told her to stay by his side instead of selfishly feeling as if she had lost certain thrills that once gave her such joy. They were closer than ever in a spiritual sense and a sexual sense. As his physical condition worsened, they got closer. There came a point where she felt she could not take care of him any longer. His physical state was becoming too much for her to bear. She found herself having to look out for her own well-being as well as his. She couldn't be there for him as much as she used to. Whether he died from a broken heart or of disease is still a mystery, but either symptom brought about great suffering. She felt as if she had failed. In time of tragedy we all think back to what we could have done differently to have prevented the tragedy. Maybe she could have done more for him and maybe she could have been there for him more instead of selfishly withdrawing as soon as she felt neglected. Regardless of all her feelings, she still did not have any idea why or how this happened to him. But more importantly, did her physical condition have anything to do with this same plague that caught a hold of him? Day by day she was feeling worse. As time went by, she found herself scrunched up in one spot for hours at a time; the spot close to the water where she laid him to rest at. Most of the time she would cough herself to sleep but sometimes her head would feel so dizzy that all she could do was close her eyes and hope the meditation of sleep would cure here ailing. It never got better until she was finally put out of her misery. The night two desperate people took her life like it was meaningless shows exactly what lengths people will go to to survive. As the expression goes, "survival of the fittest." The fact is, she was not fit enough to survive. If you don't have the physical capabilities to fend for yourself when you are being attacked, then what good are you doing for others and for yourself? She was simply a victim of two bullets from two people who had more use for her than anyone else. Without hesitation and without having the decency to clean the blood streaming down her face, the stronger one picked her up with arms that looked as if had been through war, and went to work. Some people call what just took place indecent and some call it living. Nevertheless, they had a job to do and nothing should have stood in their way. After their mission was accomplished, they were on their way home. They were so far away from home that they themselves did not know exactly where they were. One reason for their actions was them panicking over the situation they were in. Being so far away from home in a foreign land is a scary thought because everything is away from the usual norm. You can't do the things you usually do, eat the things you usually eat, be around the kind of people you are used to being around. On the other hand, maybe they knew exactly what they doing and didn't panic at all and just didn't care. It really was not that big of a deal. Now that they were back home with their new found knowledge and new experiences to share and analyze, it was time for some down time. It was time to wind down from all they faced in those matter of weeks. It was an experience like no other. It was the kind of experience that cannot be described in words, but only in the minds of those who went through it. For this reason, the two grew closer together. They had gone through things that you only see about in movies or can only imagine. The time they spent bonding made them realize how right everything was. It showed that everything happens for a reason. No matter if it felt right of wrong, it was the emotion that was calling all the shots. In time, everything both of them desired became a reality and nothing could stop it. The deed was done. Just in case the two didn't stay happy forever or if it just was never meant to be, they most likely would meet other people. It is said that nothing good lasts forever. This is very true. Part of the reason for this is because there is so much good in the world that the new good replaces the old good. This goes the same with people. When you find someone that is good, you should stick with them unless you really feel that there is someone else better out there for you. In that case, you should go for it. However, the most important thing about love is that the two 100% accept the person for who they are and accept ALL the baggage that comes with them. In some cases your partner's mistakes will rub off on you and you will be stuck with them for the rest of your life. You must accept and live with all the decisions that you make. With that being said, you have to realize the consequences of your actions. Some consequences include your bones and other non-edible parts of your body in a lake floating by your partner's long-armed, 3'4" hairy body.

    Fate is partially to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because the Friar’s plan was ruined due to unpreventable circumstances. In the very first lines of the play the prologue establishes that Romeo and Juliet’s love opposed fate. They are called, “star-cross’d lovers” (Doc A) who possess a, “death-mark’d love” (Doc A). This indicates that their love went against the stars and their relationship was doomed from the start. Even before Romeo was banished, Romeo and Juliet were marked for death. Then, the Friar's plan was disrupted by an unstoppable force, fate. Friar Lawrence tells Juliet when she awakes, “A greater power than we can contradict hath thwarted our intents” (Doc E). Fate had intervened and caused the lovers' downfall. No…

    My life appears to have control and order, but in truth my mental state is constantly shifting. Ophelia’s suicide correlates to the actions I make when I am having either manic or depressive episode; the loss of her sanity and my cyclothemia prevents both us from reflection and self-awareness. Like Wheatley said, “without reflection we go blindly on our way.” Our vision was impaired by our sickness and we created, “unintended consequences.” If a blind mine bumps into you, can you blame him for something that he cannot control, something he was born with, something that is clearly no fault of his own? People like me regret our actions, we hurt because of them. Even so, I have learned not blame myself for something I was born with, something I cannot…

    Living a perfect life with 4 children and a white picket fence doesn’t “refine us like silver” like David writes in Psalms 66:10. Since God sends us a lot of adversity, the Bible teaches a lot of consolation, although not enough. Recently, I’ve encountered friends that have divorced parents and rough family issues, and since I’ve come from a “white picket fence” family in my point of view, it’s hard for me to deal with the fact that my friends have suffered and I haven’t. It’s not because I’m better than they are, or more righteous, because I’m not. Free will has been my answer to many important topics such as the allowance of evil in the world, but for the concept of suffering, it is harder for me to say that. That’s not based on my beliefs but the fact that our decisions as mature adults can spark the fatal leukemia in a child. Belief of free will states that our actions as humans creates evil in the world which constitutes to suffering for the entire human population. It is really hard for me to believe that an innocent could have cancer and die because of my…

    The tragic deaths of Romeo and Juliet captivated the eyes of many people. Shakespeare wrote about the untimely deaths of two teens whose reckless choices caused their sudden death/ Many people argue and say their deaths were due to fate, but could’ve easily been avoided if they had made suitable choices. Fate played a big part in the death of Romeo and Juliet. With the feud between the Montagues and the Capulets, it was almost an impossible love. Given the circumstances, it was up to fate to bring them together. Fate is at fault for the death of Romeo and Juliet because of the perfect timing of the series of unfortunate events that occurred, like them meeting up at the Capulet’s party, and when Friar Lawrence’s plan is ruined when Friar John can’t deliver the message to Romeo; and when they meet up again at her balcony.…

    Hamlet Free Will

    Love should be full of free will and passion, but the literature present are full of controlling love. In Hamlet, Hamlet Jr. loves his dead father so much at he forgets everything and kills anything that might help his dead father's ghost. In Romeo and Juliet, Romeo kills Paris and himself to be with Juliet in the afterlife. Juliet does the same for him after she sees his dead body. In “Porphyria's Lover”, Porphyria dies because she is controlling her lover and then gets controlled when she's killed by her lover. In Hamlet, “Porphyria’s Lover”, and Romeo and Juliet, death cannot hold the characters from being with whom they want. Although death or killing someone is a sin, these people put that aside to achieve control in their circumstances.…

    One may argue: Why did God grant his creations free will if it leads them towards evil? Evil can be chosen without realization, and there is no reason for said evil to cause suffering. If we had the choice to do something bad versus doing something good, there would be no obligatory suffering if you made the bad choice. God would simply rectify you for any bad moral choices you may have made in your life and forgive…
