PS:I realised i have two Gmail accounts wif the same GuGu profile(lol) and i tweaked my ankle playing soccer this morning, so i don't think i will be playing on saturday I, paiseh!!!
The last few days at home, i have been thinking about many things that have happened in my life thus far. Some of the thoughts are personal and some are public. I will share one of the public ones here.
As the positive talk has been going around for quite some time, I would like to ride on it, but from a different perspective. That is from people who are uber-positive. Namely, the Edison Chens, Tiger Woods, John Terrys,Bill Clintons and Ashley Coles.
Recently, sports stars have been getting caught with their pants down. Coincidental or not, they have collectively brought up the issue of infidelity. More importantly, they have portrayed certain abstract beliefs about love and sex wrongly.I will be attempting to challenge these notions rationally and systematically.
Belief number:
1) We should always be faithful and truthful to the ones we love
2) Love and sex are congruent
3) Men are sexually deprived beasts.
1)
We have been taught to believe that we can only fall in love with one person at any one time. Therefore, it is impossible for us to be thinking about another woman or man as long as you are attached to someone. However, is this the case??
Well, unfortunately, i do not believe so. It is possible to fall in love with another person at any one time. It is possible anywhere and any time. This is especially so during long distance relationships(no direct references meant) I feel. It is human nature, there is always a craving for something nicer, someone better. That is why Wei XiaoBao had seven wives and emporers had thousands.
So then, what is love???Have we been taught the wrong morals, wrong values??
Personally, i believe that love could be a fallacy after all.There are actually rational aspects to it which we can analyse(yes D,you got my answer).
Throughout the years, the concept of "love" has evolved. It has become a lot more of an obligation. In ancient times, a man can fall in love with many women and get away with it. And in those times, the definition of love was never about fidelity but more of conquer and domination. It was eventually the fall of dynasties and kingdoms that actually reshaped its meaning.
Stories of everlasting and undying love then started to emerge(Yes, did you actually believe Romeo and Juliet, Yang Guo and Xiao Long Nu existed in those times??)and women started to realise that they do not exist solely as the right side of the equation, but the left side as well. Men also started to believe that this equation is solely linear. And it became the one love one life concept that we are so familiar with today.
So, had John Terry and Tiger Woods defaulted??Think again.
2)
This is actually an elaboration of the first point. We often coin sex as "making love", but all scientists will tell you that it is not true. It is a natural phenomenom. Tigers hump tigresses and dogs hump bitches, so what's the difference??
There isn't. Love=sex is merely an user defined law to maintain the existence of the human race. And that is because we have outsmarted ourselves by becoming too civilised. Consider this scenario.
For those of you who have watched 2012, what will happen to those survivors?? Are they going to stick to the rules of the game??What if there were twice the number of females than males, or if too many of the ladies were infertile, how are they going to ensure the continuation of the human race?? Well, the answer is simple, f f and f....
3)
My last point is really one sided and largely unfounded, that is because as a man, I will NEVER know what it feels like to be a woman. Some say women have the same needs as men, some say they don't. I believe in the former.
Women crave sex as much as men, but due to social obligations(again), they have been forced to control their hormones involuntarily. I have read a certain article about psychology in sex before. In order to control the urge to have sex, psychologists actually try to fill the brain with as many thoughts as possible, flooding the neuron transmittions and eventually ooze out the sex signals. It is exactly how sex addicts(Tiger Woods) are treated and I do see similarities between that and the behaviours of women.
Many females appear to be nonchalant about sex, undermining their needs for it. However, is it really the case??Are they deceiving themselves??In fact, it is rather alarming that I have read that 80 to 90 percent of females develop attraction for their own sex in their adolescent stage of growth(that disgusting thought has never crossed my mind at all).
If I were to name one examplarery advocate of female sexual rights, it would Annabel Chong.
Yes, she was raped in the UK prior to her sexual exploits. Normal girls would have attempted suicide, but that incident actually made her stronger. And in my opinion, she was a brilliant individual.She dropped out of law school, and started to pursue an interest in arts . She wanted to demonstrate the equalities of sex(dual meaning implied). Women have the same needs too, and why should they not be the aggresor?Her gangbang ultimately became a shoutout to this sexist world about female rights. And interestingly, the world is moving unknowingly towards her visioned utopia of sexual freedom.
Alas, it has been an incredously long post, hope everyone takes time to read it and post your comments.
Stay tuned to GuGu's next column about me,you and the world!!
!Hasta luego!
A little motivation(the one on the left is taken,sorry guys)
haha, hmmm...the oranges looks really juicy...lol! =)
ReplyDeleteYoohoo, ok I guess this comment is long overdue but nonetheless here it is.
ReplyDeleteI would like to comment on GooGoo's(note that i spell it as gOOgOO, not gUgU) point number 1. Hmm... I think googoo has a point there, about whether love means being loyal to one person and one person only. Of course I am not talking about love between family and friends etc, but rather between a man and a woman.
If you think about it, from all our previous posts, there have been dicussions as to what love is and it goes along the lines of self-sacrifice, to be able to give yourself up for the person you love. So let's take an extreme case here, I'm not saying that this is the ULTIMATE situation, but one of the extremes. Imagine a undesirable situation, like your beloved getting hurt in a car accident and she needs an organ transplant to live on(please pardon any medical impossibilities here because I have no idea about it). You might just give her your organ without any hesitation even if it might cause your life. Or just to see her smile once again, and you would have lived life without regrets. However, what if you were willing to do that both two people? What if there were two people that you truly love, giving them each one of your kidneys? That would certainly spell your demise with the loss of both kidneys, but you would still willingly give them up to see the two of them live on as normally as possible. The bottomline here is that, you would be as willing to love both as much as you possiby could.
Of course, with the increased viewership in our blog, many might start to portray me as a two-timing, cheating bastard oozing with unparalleled infidelity for even thinking about such a thing. But hey, I'm not saying that I am or I will be in such a situation but I'm trying to see if we can reach a different view here, unlike what society has made it out to be. Even so, my reputation can't get any worse than it is now right? HAHAHA..
hmm, finally i see someone's getting my point.Is love purely an obligation and fallacy that we humans have tuned ourselves to believe in??i do believe so.
ReplyDeleteWhy do guys always look out for pretty girls, because their countenances stimulate your brain to believe that you "love" her? But it is also possible that you fall in love with a not so pretty girl as well. It is because other characteristics in her will start to make your mind believe that you "love" her. Which is why i fully support the notion that it is possible to fall in love with two persons.
For those we do not believe so, it is because they are trying to assert thoughts that will make their brains think otherwise. Thus not fully embracing true "love" in that sense, or plainly, deceiving themselves. And in most cases, they are influenced by beliefs, values and even religion that they are "tuned" to. For example, "infidelity","loyalty" and "platonic love".I would say that they are simply boundaries that have besieged us since we know what a BGR is.
But don't take me wrong, i never said that these values are wrong.They keep us loyal to our partners and prevent more homocides in this already screwed up world.In a way,they govern the way we lead our lives.
Lastly,this is just my two cents worth, and don't worry dz, reputation counts for nothing...so flame me guys,JUST DO IT!!!!
I'm sorry googoo, just as I disagree with you about how good Liverpool is, I disagree with a lot of your points.
ReplyDeleteI believe in true love with a special someone, and that we are meant to love (not only romantically). I don't think we can ever adequately explain or understand love. You just know the answer when you find it in someone. You'll see the answer in her eyes, and you will, at that moment, realize how clear the answer had been all along.
I'm on HS side on this. Love is not an obligation, nor a fallacy, nor can u say it that it's generous enough to use it to defend things like infidelity. Maybe we should hear more from the ppl who has been in a relationship b4 to get their views?
ReplyDeleteGoogoo: Your first entry is so long~!!! Did you just post everything you could have said for the past months into one post? Haha
ReplyDeleteOkay I shall try to answer some questions in response to Hanyuan’s comment that those who were in relationships before should do so that obviously includes yourself btw! So we shall hear more from others too eh – maybe get Dbl O boy to comment =)
1) To DZ: Why did you even bring up the issue of organ transplantation man? It involves such a big medical and science field to be integrated with love implications anyway. But, anyway, if you give two kidneys to the two people you love at the same time. That means you are left with none. 美雪once told me, “人要为自己而活。”I think I said this before already anyway. I mean if you're not around, then what's the point? Yeah, but I know you mayrebut by saying that you will die for the person you love – then I cannot say anything to that already. On a sidenote, I would choose for my parnter to die first, because I think it hurts more for her to be left in this world alone...
2) To Googoo: Guys DON’T always look out for pretty girls. I do not believe in love at first sight, but appearance matters. Character plays a much more important role in finding your lover, but one can only understand the other better through interaction – which comes from getting interested to know the person? Someway, somehow, I believe it links. Fairytale stories do not always happen in real life…
3) To D: True love belongs to A SPECIAL SOMEONE (I noted that it’s singular). So, does that mean that you will only want that special relationship once? For people, who have fallen in love with girls or even re-married, does their previous loves not count?
4) To the rest like W and A: It’s about time you all respond too! MIA too long already lah.
“Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.”
More often than not, the courtship always seems to be more “exciting” than to sustain the relationship, if you all know what I mean…
Everyone: Any top love songs then?
yo guys, just to prove my point
ReplyDeleteJack Neo just joined the "get a mistress" gang and his wife apparently knew about it, but closed one eye about it, is that still love???
Jeez, love is just as simple as that, believe me D, liverpool is a darn good team, better than Man U, better than Rooney
I, you mean you like to oogle at ugly girls??I thought only J does that in clubs :)
Just to add on, i believe I is trying to sit on the fence, but he seems to be falling over to my side a bit or contradicting himself, i dunno

"So, does that mean that you will only want that special relationship once?"
"the courtship always seems to be more “exciting” than to sustain the relationship, if you all know what I mean…"
That is because love is a science, as your mind gets overcome or i shall say "fine tuned" with the initial "love" fallacy, it becomes boring , you begin looking for it again.
So perhaps the only inexplicable part about love would be the fact that humans always looking for better things and the craving for this "feel good" factor never ends.
But then again, I'm learning artificial intelligence now and i can tell you, it is possible to model the brain and how the neurons work through a process called "learning". Maybe the day when we uncover the human brain fully, I can tell D that Rooney sucks
Okay, maybe what I said is slightly out of context because as I read the comments in general, I think I will be addressing some issues as they are alone, which might not be the most objective, but yea...
ReplyDeleteI think moley raised a point there, that the period in which you fall in love with someone also plays an important part. How about remarriages, would you then say that the people involved are totally unfaithful? Or what if you hadn't met your beloved at a particular point in time, would you then have fallen in love with someone else??? Oh and another thing, we have also heard of some people settling for something "less"(in a sense that the partner might not be the ideal but provides security and is loving enough) because sometimes circumstances might not play out right for everybody. And sometimes during a relationship or in a marriage, there is that possibility that someone would have at one point in time felt that another person would have been much better suited to be his/her partner but the timing just wasn't right? And if you were really true towards your feelings, you might or would have gone for the other person, but because of a commitment or a sense of obligation(but maybe not love?) you don't do so. So how does that play out then?
One more thing, could it be that society has imbued in us what we must act like to be considered moral? Had we all been born in ancient times like what googoo has mentioned, would anybody still think that having multiple wives(of course this is very sexist and degradatory) still be immoral? Remember, put yourself in that time period with that being the norm.
As a man utd fan, I can't just sit and watch someone flame man utd like you did, GuGu. So... expect to receive the wrath of a man utd fan.
ReplyDeleteLiverpool is a darn good team? Oh, please dun make me laugh. You're out of the league cup, FA cup, Champions league, and struggling to fight for your fourth place in the league. (dun even dream about the title man, you're not entitled to). I dun need to say much, the fact are there for all to see.
And kui you can say sth like liverpool is better than man utd? Look how far you are away from the top 3 teams in the league man. Better think of how you're gonna keep ur fourth place man, haha.
And better than rooney? Please, the number of goals he scored(23) this season is more your top 2 striker combined, torres(13), kuyt(9). He's good, and you know it, you just dun wanna admit it.
I know, you might want to defend yourself by saying that liverpool beat man utd this season, but only a side with nth to sing praises abt, would harp on one such victory and feel as if they r the champions.
Of coz, this blog isn't about inter soccer rivalry. But since you flame man utd, then be prepared to get a backlash from the side who has won the premier league for the past 3 years!
HY, good post, but Man U sux, Barcelona is better
ReplyDeletechelsea will win premiership!
ReplyDeleteand the crowd went silent.... -cricket chirping-
ReplyDeleteI don't agree with HS point of view that you only love that special someone in your entire life. In different parts of your life, you can love different person, and each is true. You jus cannot divide love. You can't love 2 person at the same time. It's like wearing a cap. You can't wear 2 caps at the same time, you'll look like stupid. If you want to wear a new cap, you must first take off the one you are wearing now.
