LOVE *

*conditions apply

In an extremely commercialized world where every one is trying to make a quick buck, to pull the wool over other peoples eyes, the "small print" has become an expected thing.In fact "conditions apply" has become a reassuring thing that says to the public"we are cheating you, but we are being upfront about it.so dont worry".So if we see a deal which is too good to be true , and we dont see this small star, we hear warning bells in our head.What are they hiding???

By now you must be wondering if i mis-labled this post.Well...i didn't.

The other day , a heated argument with the other half (yes ! we are human! we fight) had cooled down into sullen silence ... Both of us knew we had said too much , unnecessarily.And we couldn't take it back.

That was when i began to wonder if the promise of unconditional love was dangerous.yes! you heard me right.
Why say , i will love you for for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, come hell or high water.?? And THEN let the poor fellow/felli down by going and doing the exact opposite at the first given opportunity?

Why not say look dude, I will be your best friend , i will support you through everything and you will love me...but
*conditions apply...there will be times i will not be myself...there will be times i will be bitchy or unfair or irrational....there will be the times we might not "love" each other (we are not masochists after all)...BUT IT IS OK...because when we bought each other we KNEW what the small print was...But we still went ahead with the sale.Because despite all the faults the product was still too good to be true.

Why should we try to pretend when we advertise??

Why cant there be honesty among cheats???
