One Night Stand

Hi... I kind of got that writing energy this summer. Expect me to throw in a blog entry probably at least once a week IF I get my brain rolling. Here goes.

One Night Stand

Don't get me wrong here, I mean, probably first thing that comes to your mind is that this topic is going to be sexual. Hmpph. Not really, but I really love how "One Night Stand" fits into my topic.

The president saw himself vowing before thousands of the citizens of the nation he was about to govern. They were howling as they cheered for him. After 7 years, it all seemed like it didn't happen. Those same thousands who cheered have turned into thousands who despised him and criticized him.

So... To start off, a One Night Stand is a sexual affair not done for love but for sexual desires only. In fact, the persons who will be doing the activity of sex have probably met only for the first time and of course, having said that, love is absent, thus there will be no plan for commitment. It's something that only lasts for one night(not literally), and thus has no bearing and fruit.

A one night stand is in fact the perfect embodiement of my topic. Hmmm... My topic is about promises, commitments and agreements that last for only as long as a month after it was stated.

Are you... getting this? Ever been told a secret? Probably... been to a group of people who pledged that there will be no more chaos and diversity?

If you've been through those kinds of things, you'd probably understand the next few sentences.

A lot of things like this are going to keep happening to you. And I don't want you to fall for lies. I don't want you to believe in promises made by people who have no commitment and people who can not stand the longetivity of an oath.

After 16 years of existence, I came up with something that might actually be true: Only a few have the guts to stay commited and loyal to an agreement.

Please, do not deny this. You see it on TV, hear it on the radio and read it on newspapers. The media actually helps you to realize this.

People marry others, after what? 3 months, they divorce. Candidates say I will not be corrupt, and they stay like that for a year maximum. After 6 mere months, you've got people saying "we don't like him" and witnesses sprout of nowhere. Please, oh please.

On the other hand, someone votes, and then the person he votes wins. After issues about corruption, he turns his back on his guy. What's up with that?

People, this is not just a political situation.

Michael trusts Ron and tells him a secret. Ron of course, promises Michael he won't tell anybody. After 3 weeks with a zipped mouth, he suddenly can't contain and he tells Mr. Olaguera, his boss.

Members of a group with a lot of problems cry together, forgives each other and promises to cherish eachother till the end. The next day, they go about their own businesses again.

A guy flirts with a girl, kisses her and tells her "I love you", but then they both decide "we're not fit for eachother".

Now, enough with the situations, I know you got me. We people are not fond of promises, treaties, agreements and such.

We do a lot of things recklessly but please learn. Haven't you realized that everything you haven't thought of turned into waste? Let's stand for something that we know we can actually stand for.

We talk a lot, but we can't walk the walk. We get so indulged sometimes, we think it's real. Think before you act. Life is not a joke, it is real... Yes it is, and something real is supposed to be taken seriously. Never say something you can't do because you'll always end up just disappointing everybody. If ever you decide to do the opposite of that, it has to be done with determination and hard work.

To conclude this relatively short post, I want everybody to know that we must learn how to put value into the things we do. We must put our heart into everything we say or do so we can become committted.

If you can't do that, don't ever promise. Don't ever say you're committed to something. Shut the hell up, lie down. You have a lot of thinking to do to not be like those sex morons.

Thank you.
