Green-Eyed Monster
There is tremendous diversity in this world.
This is achieved by:
1) Genetic Variation as proposed by Mendel - a mechanism of Mother Nature.
2) The incommensurable Will of God in the lives of different individuals.
It made me stop in my tracks momentarily, when the person I once felt strongly for took off with a friend of mine recently. Life serves us some of these bafflements at times, and they all present themselves in different platters. As I continue to learn about their progress, I realized that green-eyed monster in me has not yet been completely subdued. Not so much of my previous attachment with that individual, but more of my bachelorhood.
Bachelorhood is a gift, and I'm currently enjoying it. Independence and freedom is what this package contains, and it also compliments a goal orientated setting (at least in this stage of my life). No hassle of un-pacifiable thoughts of the other person and potential distractions of paramount magnitudes. But once bitten by the love-bug, or harrassed by cupid, one would be inclined to think otherwise.
Bachelorhood promises many gains on a personal level, but it inevitably sacrifices the longing to be embraced by another individual. I believe everyone has this longing in various degrees, and it pains to see what I'm declined of. Now, taking one more step forward will never be a simple thing to do.
As with diversity in this world, I have been brought back and reminded time to time again that the incommensurable Will of God in the lives of different individuals is there for a reason. Acknowledging this is the first step, embracing it is a different level altogether.
For now, there's just no good end in feeding this Green-Eyed Monster.
As Corrinne May puts it - "Just stay on track, 'cos every cross can be a blessing. All the gifts that you've been given. Close your eyes and listen, of who you're meant to be."
Green-Eyed Monster
(Corrinne May)
So you say, Life is unfair.
She's got everything you wanted, and I'm not even close.
To getting where, you wish you could be.
The one who gets the commendation, love and adulation.
But you're stuck here on your knees.
Are you happy, Green-eyed monster.
Are you happy, with your place.
What's the use of being haunted.
Your story for glory, is right there in your face.
So be glad, you're and architect creation.
You're one of a kind.
Just stay on track, 'cos every cross can be a blessing.
All the gifts that you've been given.
Close your eyes and listen, of who you're meant to be.
Are you happy, Green-eyed monster.
Are you happy, with your place.
What's the use of being haunted.
Your story for glory, is right there in your face.
Are you happy, with your place.
What's the use of being haunted.
Your story for glory, is right there in your face.
Don't feed the monster, wasting time comparing
Lose yourself desparing.
I hear it taunt ya, Hungry for a fight?
Are you happy?
Are you happy, Green-eyed monster.
Are you happy, with your place.
What's the use of being haunted.
Your story for glory, is right there in your face.
