Get a Funky Life People!

I was writing about the ingenious Ferrucio Lamborghini when I got a glimpse of the way I used to think love. I’ll continue to talk about Miuras and Jalpas later because I don’t want to let slip this post out of my mind for now, despite the high place I hold Lamborghini on my business and personal icons.

Talking about the so-called love, instead of describing it with a lot of boresome words, let’s bring some imagery. For instance, the romantic one:

Romantic as heaven on earth.

Nothing against. At least I suppose things end this way, but is annoying the dictatorship of our pop culture that rules the youth mindset, leading to pursue this like a drunken yearns for a hangover. A life in grayscale is monotone, the same way a day-to-day painting with pink tones turn your affective sensibility diabetic.

Even when we make a mature choice, aware that we don’t ran into a stupid infatuation and we weren’t driven by naive passion, we have to cope with a bit costful issues. We know how hard is to protect our personal territory from boring episodes like natural “friends” jealousy, parents diverging over the match, almost constant gossip, former lovers that get desperate doing shameful efforts when they realize the size of their loss and so on. And aware of those realities, we know we have to take some time to adjust our way of think, making concessions and deciding on a reasonable path and a good timing for things to work out. We know, TRUE LOVE TRANSFORMS, contrary to traditional infatuation, that just make us burst in confuse feelings of fear, desperation and uncontrolled jealousy.

Personally, I see love this way:

Love Gears?

Don’t matter the size of the gears. Sometimes the man is greater, other times the woman is and there’s nothing wrong with it. What really matter is a nice fit. Like any mechanical device, some friction on the start can exists, but when a nice choice is done, things goes way smoother with time. I personally see love on a 1 + 1 = 3 fusion, like a fusion of two enterprises. When corporations carry a deal like these, there’s a lot of planning, brief contacts, meetings, evaluations, strategic considerations because is expected the alliance to bring sinergy. On love, what advantage we gather spending stress, personal time, money, sometimes tears and sleepless nights focusing on a commitment if it couldn’t bring more than a ordinary union with it’s expected concessions? We expect a virtuous circle. Of course on the day-to-day of married people hardly all the things goes as planned, but a prepared and well-tuned couple takes the best of the circunstances and makes what a lot of desperate romantics don’t do: recycle themselves over the time.

The magic of true love lies on the creation, on transformation and the new insights we gather from the relationships and inspired by Coldplay’s Lovers In Japan, I really got amazed with this one (credits to http://darunia-art.deviantart.com/). Fantastic, creative, full of life.

Fiery, creative, funky, soulful, lively!

Bye, amici. Hope you get some good lovin’
