"Well I'm not looking for a mail-order bride! I just want somebody I can have a decent conversation with over dinner. Without it falling down into weepy tears over some movie!" Sam Baldwin
Are you sleepless in Seattle? Well, maybe not necessarily Seattle, but, some other state across the country? Think about how ones affected by the loss of someone they love, and how love can be more subconscious than you think; brings the mental affection of lust full circle. The question is; would you on a whim, find a subconscious affection to someone over the radio? I am one of those who don't believe in online dating, or online chatting; where a relationship develops via misconception or even false identity. But, we find ourselves getting emotionally attached to those with a story; those with tragedy.
If we as a society can't win at love in person; are we succumbing to love over the airways?
Even though this movie is over 25 years old, the concept of how the mind works with empathy, remorse or even sympathy, brings us to the actuality that sometimes; mental affections are stronger than physical ones. Do people find commonalities in others mentally, in which, drives their behaviors physically? I often at times wonder if the churn of people in relationships are indeed based on churn in people's mental boredom.
Are you bored?
Is being bored justifiable to seeking mental compassion? I remember thinking that tragedy and solitude are closer in meaning than happiness and popularity. When you find tragedy in others, the solitude of your own thinking puts you in their world. It puts you in their life; while you stumble to live in your own. A man's heart is just as weak as a woman's. Yet, a woman's intuition historically is always out-witted by chance.
"Destiny is something we've invented because we can't stand the fact that everything that happens is accidental." - Annie Reed
Sometimes it is alright to want the fantasy; sometimes it is alright to want the reality. When we want the commonality, we must seek to find the stability. We must understand that if things are destined to happen; why are we waiting to carelessly "bump" into them? In the game of life we constantly go up to bat, we are fouled on the 3-point line, we have to kick a 40-yd field goal, and we try to aim to be under par; but, we must realize that the rules remain the same, and the score is always going to fluctuate.
Is a decent conversation over-rated? What are people really wanting to talk about?
If you give it your all, if you surpass your deepest expectations of yourself and other people; you will compete the mental and physical capacity for finding love. Whether you find it over a medium, or looking past your rear view window; it is inevitable that people need comfort; people don't strive to be alone, and people are people no matter who they claim they have become. If we are sleepless in Seattle; NY; Boston; or CA; are we just dreamers wanting to find a cloud to sit upon?
