Ready or Not?

When could a person really say that they have moved on from a past relationship? When can we say that people survived the cold nights alone?

We are definitely in a world full of uncertain things and what we may have today may never be ours the next day. That's why we should make sure that we spend time and give the most to those things that we might loose along the way. If you look at this world that we live in people come and go and nothing really stays put in one place. If you follow the ideal way of living you would need someone to share life with. Example of that is Adam and Eve, Bonnie and Clyde, Homer and Marge ( Simpson's ), Caesar and Cleopatra, Joseph and Mary ( parents of Jesus ) and even we open our eyes to meet our parents and them happy welcoming us into this world.

Couples that meant something to each other, for support financially, for power, for religion, in crime,for love etc...

There are many reasons how people end up together. But how do you cope if you lost your partner, Cleopatra with the death of Caesar found Mark Anthony but not after bearing Caesar's child. It was good that she met another man but Mark was married to Octavian's (also known as Augustus ) sister. Mark chose to be with Cleopatra that led to the Octavian War.

But how was she able to go into a relationship with Mark Anthony, with the demise of her husband Caesar? She was able to move on for her child and country. In the time where weak countries are overpowered and conquered by powerful ones, She needed to have allies to help her and defend her realm and also to act as a father to her son.

Her reason was situational due to the era they were in, with Nations expanding their territory. But her other reason lies in simple nurturing for her child, to act as a father and protector. The second reason can be associated to the present with girls getting pregnant and was left alone to raise her child and due to hard times, need for financial assistance and guidance they look for possible partners that may suit the role and is willing to step in. They neglect the pain of the past love gone sour and look on to provide and care for her child.

This is one reason we can look at but then again it does not apply to all. Some only want the feeling of being loved and goes into any open door that offers temporary shelter. People like these sometimes end up not contented with what they have and go on looking for others, until the time when there are no one left and they come full circle to where they started, being alone and no one to love them.

This not only go to unmarried couples, nowadays married couples file Annulments and Divorce just to get away from each other cause what they had wasn't there anymore and they want out. These sometime end in sad notes not for the parents but for the kids. But never-the -less people that came from these situations end up with someone easily, as third parties become one of the reason for parting ways. The mistress for the husband and the other man for the wife.... what their partner lacked was provided by their other partner that sometimes end up to be their second husband or wife.

In the teen- generation. Boys do a lot more of the shifting, this is the time of curiosity for teens, the exploration era, guys tend to have more girlfriend and sometimes end up with several at a time. Why?.... you may ask. Remember that this is the time when teens act more active and curious about many things and they want to find answers. And that include Love... they misinterpret the meaning of love as a reason for being with someone and having someone beside them. A way to get laid and experiment with emotions. At this stage teens are never contented with what they may have and long for more and seek a lot. And in the process commits a lot of mistakes and foolish actions. That haunt them in the end.

Me on the other hand, coming from a long relationship believe that I have completely moved on. I do not need to be with someone else to say that I already did just to prove it. But I rather prefer to be single for the moment and stay that way until the time comes I fall for someone head over heels once again. I do not fall easily for any gal and I trust my emotions when it comes to Love...

It's not perfect...
