Gambling Odds

You meet a new person. You really like the person. You think about them constantly. You go to sleep dreaming about the fabulous connection that you two might have. You wake up thinking about how great they are. At some point, you realize that the awesomeness that this person embodies, simply isn't meant to be for you. And what do you do? That's right, you slowly pull away. At first gently but progressively less gentle.

There are more than a few reasons for why you'd do this. It may be a cop out to say somebody isn't meant to be in your life. When there is a will there is a way. On any given day, you'll meet plenty of possible lovers. Each of them stepping back into their path after you avoid snagging them. It is a beautifully miserable strategy. Because you want to love them. You want to take there gorgeous humanity and decorate your moments with their laughter. Alluring.

What could possibly stand as a viable obstacle ? Just that; obstacles. The distance; the differences in lifestyle. Even in the miracle that coming together is accomplished with love and nobody else is left to the throes of agony, building a great foundation for the future is the first and most important task to undertake. And systematically, the two would need to come together to build forward while building upward. It is complex and complicated. Too many emotional issues lie, camouflaged, in between. What's most? Insecurity destroys most relationships. Trust, communication, they destroy many others.

Matter of fact, let's digress into a metaphor of emotions. The ninja village is called The Land of Hidden Emotions. There are different specialists classes training in this village. There is the insecurity squad; the arrogance squad; the betrayal squad...well you get it. These emotions are ninjas out to assassinate what ever connection you are attempting to foster. The only way to defeat ninjas was to communicate and distinguish a threat from a normal denizen(reasonable request) of the relationship.

When it is clear the the gambling odds on a relationship are stacked in the favor of the house, it becomes clear that you should fold your hand and aim for the next set. But this makes meeting amazing people emotionally difficult. As humans, the desire to fall in love is strong.As humans, belonging to somebody is an unparalleled feeling, especially when the connection is nurturing, encouraging and healthy.

Yet, this is just one way to skin that cat. This way is based on the odds or probability that the desired result will be achieved. Curiosity killed the cat but there is more than one way to kill it; remember that. Seriously, don't forget to consider other ways to "kill" that cat.
