Sweet wrappers

How often is it that you actually even think to look at the inside of a wrapper, since those Treo days when they had games and things on the inside.

Well today I did just that. I bought a bar of galaxy, and the inside caught my eye.

This is what it said.......

Falling into that beautiful thing called Love
(Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't-live-without-each-other love.)

ATTRACTION, FLIRTATION, EUPHORIA, DOUBT, THE TRUTH (The longer the better)

... And so you dance around it. You draw it out. You tease towards love.

This is pure physical poetry. It's the thrill of communicating by give and take, the simple charm of tugging at another heart and waiting (hoping) for a response.

It's the improbably joyus celebration of going absolutely nowhere for a long, long time ... all in the anticipation that you're actually on your way (slowly tiptoe-ingly) to somewhere truly marvellous...

It then says Galaxy Never stop falling in love. Which kinda ruins it a bit. Of course it's talking about the chocolate bar, why else would it be on the inside of the wrapper. But that's besides the point.

Love is a strange thing. And I don't mean to go on about Love at all, the amazingness did it already today. Read what he said about it.

I was just wondering to myself. How does one flirt? I mean what is it that you actually do to flirt? And on the process of falling in love, well how do you recognise that it's happening? And how do you stop it before it actually happens? Can it actually be stopped? And can people manipulate you, by flirting, to fall in love with them.

Emotions I suppose are created by humans, so I guess humans can mess about with them. I suppose it goes back to what I was talking about yesterday with people being powerful. I mean why stop there. Why just have power over someone in a normal everyday sense, if you have got the guts to do it and are evil and conniving enough, you can really really mess someone up.

How many days does someone have to sit holding back the tears. You know the hope is there. There is always hope, but does there come a time when you have to admit defeat? But then again, if you loose hope do you loose everything?

What is it that hope does that makes thing difficult seem a little bit easier? What is the reaction that "hope" kicks off?! I suppose, depending where you look you will come up with different answers. We'll start by looking at the dictionary for now.....The Oxford Essential English Dictionary:

Hope vb hoping, hoped 1 to desire (something), usually with some possibility of fulfilment: you would hope for their cooperation. 2 to trust or believe: I hope I've arranged that. >> n 3 a feeling of desire for something, usually with confidence in the possibility of it's fulfilment: the news was greated by some as hope for further interest rate cuts. 4 a reasonable ground for this feeling: there is hope for you yet. 5 the person, thing, situation, or event that gives cause for hope or is desired: the young are a symbol of hope for the future [Old English hopa]

What I want to know though is how hope came about, and why it is hope we look to when all else fails. I'll have a look and find out......more on this hope stuff soon.
