Giving in to Bad Romance

When can you exactly say that you have been trapped to a “bad romance”? Romance may sound happiness but not all fun is healthy and not all happiness is heaven-caused. But as one grows old, no matter how wisdom he has incurred, no matter how good he has been, everyone is still entitled for every piece of evil while alive. Not all would opt for a clean looking traditional wall painting. Others succumb to dark arts, too.

If after discernment of what is right from wrong, you still give in to your own happiness despite some issues in values you still go for it then perhaps, it can be justified as long as it is not at the expense of other people. Or someone who might be hit has already received too much consideration from you and yet the pain he inflicts on you is vastness to handle anymore. Then, you realize, there is time to be slightly evil, too, and you can even assume that God will just smile back. You may want to look at your landscape painting and see God’s face among the stars giving you the blessing to go ahead. The best part of such bad romance as per the point of view of other people can turn out as the best one for you. After all, it is you who knows when to give in or hold back to love. Not all people who fall in love with you are detached. They might be emotionally detached but moral-wise, they may not be. This goes the same for you. When can you say that you are free to love when someone else, morally-wise, should be recipient of your love? If after sometime of feeling the guilt of breaking away from a promise or a contract, you still realize that the person whom you are giving your full commitment to does not deserve your sacrifice, then give in to alternative love.

And yes, this is bad romance, not in a sense that the other person is bad or you are bad but the situation you will entrap yourself to may not be as good or rather smooth sailing. Issues left and right can really be ugly. Who else to assess the situation but the people involved and not the gossiping people around. Of whether being right is against of what the others think is right boils down to one thing and this is how you finally give in to what your heart dictates and the justification you have within knowing you do not owe anyone explanation as  how artist needs not explain his wall paintings to his audience.
