The Score (have a brain, play the game and aim)

Listening to Frank Sinatra's 'Strangers In The Night'

"Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wond'ring in the nightWhat were the chances we'd be sharing love
Before the night was through.

Ever since that night we've been together.
Lovers at first sight, in love forever.
It turned out so right, For strangers in the night.

Love was just a glance away, A warm embracing dance away..."

For sure, not everyone is a smooth crooner like Frank Sinatra.
As much as i love this song, it is too simply and fantasy-like.
Love is not just a glance away,
Even if it is, i question that 'in love forever' and 'it turned out so right' part.
As things are NEVER that simple.
Relationships are NEVER that clean cut.

As Frank Sinatra started doing the 'Do dody doby do' I know that there is no way this song is serious...

Everyone loves this sort of serendipidy... fate that bounds two people together.
Encounters and match made in heaven where two loners complete one another.
This is actually just fantasy made up by people who longed for a significant other.
They long for someone to share their life with
If that someone is a stranger in the night, they can attribute their meeting to be one of destiny brought together by love. And only love...
Yet, fantasies often stay where they are.

It got me thinking about...
If the scenario of strangers in the night DOES happen,
Does it mean we involuntarily automatically entered the love game??
Like a game of basketball, there are the main players and the benched one.
In the love game, we are either on the field or on the bench,
yet there can onlybe one that shoot the hoop and get points.

Are you the one that is being benched by the other person? Only when timee get rough he/she will find you?
Are you the one that is on the field? Hoping one day you will beat the rest and be the one that shoo the hoops? We are all aiming to win, yet, there can be only one person that the person end up up. Are we being benched or being given a chance to shoot the hoop by the other person?

It is time to shake you brains out of it and take control. For your heart is not a lost sheep being shepherd around. You should rise above yourself, and have a plan instead of going straight into what the heart is telling you to do first. This may take lots of determination and practise but at the end, you know that your ball is only going into the hoop if you aim. Take your heart with hands of steel, control your mind and follow the original plan (the next article will be about The Plan).

Do not let jealousy, infatuation, desperation and the desire overwhelm you! Merry Christmas everyone. Hopefully eveyone had a good one.Santa has not visited me... yet. But i am getting myeself presents!
