Must Read-the Collaterals By @ceeflod by Dumebi9(m): 1:37am On Nov 23, 2013 |
We all grew up watching cartoons; we all loved the thrill that went with it. Samurais fighting with swords and mortals transforming into robots. I was no different in that sense, my undying love for cartoons became malignant at a point and I guess that’s one of the reasons why I titled this piece “The Collateral's”. It sounds just like “fantastic 4″, action heroes that always save the day and scare villains. The only difference here is that it also bears serious significance to what we’ll be discussing. Collateral in the dictionary means “security pledged for the payment of a loan”, I’m very certain that by now you’re probably wondering why the sudden drift from cartoons to business. Well considering the individuals I’d be analyzing you just have to agree with me that no angle is too much. Let’s try to relate the term “collateral” with our everyday life and you would see that it works for us every day and in every way, it’s so broad that if I let my mind stray off we’ll have ourselves an encyclopedia. So I have decided to limit it to the softest part of our lives and that’s our heart, our emotions, the pain and joy that comes when we string our most treasured item to one person. The only defect is that many people are in love with “collaterals”. They love the individual they are with but if it’s going to last you must accept the consequences. So I put the question to you, are you really in love? Or have you put up several patches, fake pillars and floor boards, in attempt to keep the building standing? How did you meet your partner? how do you intend to wow your dream girl, with flowers? By serenading her under the moonlight? Collateral relationship is one in which you are with each other not necessarily for love but because they feel the void in areas you are lacking or take a personal interest in. It’s a natural phenomenon for you want to be with a lady with long legs or with a dude that plays the guitar. You spend your time envisaging the prospect of having a guy that drives the latest cars. If you fit into any of the examples listed above then sorry to say you’re either already a “collateral” lover or you’re definitely going to end up as one. Your mind is already pledged, it’s budding with the desire to have your dreams and imagination come to pass. So when the next lady shows up with long steaming legs your head is going to be blind to your emotions, that is definitely going to serve as your standard. You sure won’t take notice of the fact that she loves you for your money or you nice ride, you won’t realize that what you have going for you is as fake as the animation we all grew up loving. In this case the villain is the lies you told yourself, the deceptive webs you entwined yourself with. Eventually when the piper stops playing, when reality breaks through and then it all dawns you it might just be too late then. FOR THE LADIES Are you in love with him because he’s well built? Are you in love with him merely for the comfort he provides? When deep down you know there’s no connection? Are you in love with him because he satisfies you completely in bed? FOR THE DUDES Are you in love with her because she boosts your ego and you seek bragging rights with your friends? Are you in love with her just because her feature’s meet your desires? Relationship is a beautiful concept, its design is dynamic. It makes you feel complete in ways you can’t imagine but it should be true, real and sincere. The consequences of thriving in self-deceit will be your own monologue, a story you’ll tell to others but must you wait till you’re so torn apart?
