Mood-de-rator : Varying but mostly indifferent.
I'm beginning to love philosophy.
It clarified a lot of philosophies that I already have, and it's truly a good book.
...okay I haven't finished it yet.
But hey, I'm only halfway through and I've already learned so much!
From histories of people like Martin Luther King Jr. to Ghandi, their actions seek to extinguish suffering through non-violent means, to one of the hottest topics about 'What is love?'. It really grabs my attention.
As for today, the councilors asked us to write something about what is love to us. Perfect timing for me to 'apply my knowledge', but basically I went on to write what they may see as 'boring stuff from Terence again'. Heck, I shan't care about what others think of me. I say I have a girlfriend in California, my friends doubt our relationship. I had a major dis-ease about the Inner Demon thing, and people just don't give me the care I need. Whatever, my relationship came out of Rita killing off my Inner Demon, so I can't be bothered at all. She made me stand up, and I have her to thank for that.
Okay, where was I? Oh, the 'boring stuff from Terence'. I wrote something about Eros, Philos, and Agape. Eros is sexual love, mostly towards the opposite gender, hence the word 'erotic' comes about in pornography. Philos is your interest in other stuff other than sexual. Things like love for studies, love for philosophy, love for drawing, they all fit in this category. So you can say that I have a certain amount of Philos inside me now.
The third one, this...Agape, is what caught most of my attention. It involves selfless love, the highest form of love according to the book. But usually this kind of love ends in deaths and all. One day, I might even die for my loved ones, too. Loving without expecting anything in return, it's noble, and it bring peace within oneself...(I think.)
Never mind. I'm being too philosophical today, anyway. Haha.
Love, and don't be afraid to get hurt,

Let it Rain.
