I Hate People. Period.


With every goodbye you learn!

Love isn’t like a reservoir.
You’ll never drain it dry.
It’s much more like a natural spring.

The longer and the farther it flows,
The stronger and the deeper
And the clearer it becomes.


After a while you learn the subtle difference
between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning
And company doesn’t mean security,

And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts
And presents aren’t promises.

And you begin to accept your defeats
with your head up and your eyes open,
with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child, a
and learn to build all your roads on today
because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans,
and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.


After a while you learn that even
sunshine burns if you get too much.


So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.


And you learn that you really can endure….
That you really do have worth.
And you learn and learn…
With every goodbye you learn.

Sheetal (My roomie, remember?) wrote this on her blog here and I found it heartbreakingly true...Love sucks. I read somewhere that what will survive of us is love, my foot! Only if WE survive love,or leave aside looowe, only if we survived affection. And the aftermath. And the people. Grrr... I hate people. Period.

sooo effing true!!
each word thr makes sooo much sense!!
but id still say...people suck...love doesnt!!

unforgiven said...

Ah my child, but you must believe.

Love may mean pain, love may mean sacrifice, love may mean sadness, but it is worth it.


Wouldn't you rather experience a few moments of true love, even if it means dealing with some sadness after; rather than not ever experience love at all?

After all, as I said somewhere else earlier, 'romance', is everything.

Kenny said...

Ok, that was kinda depressing...but then it rang true. IF only we could survive love...and all that follows. Btw ur roomie writes some pretty neat stuff...and its so deep. And hope u get over whatever it is that is bugging u real soon ;)

DON said...

Its not like with "With every goodbye you learn" but u Learn coz u exist..

Learning is a continuous process.. with all goodbye's, Hi's , Lies's, Deny's a part of it.

This is so True: - "After a while you learn that even
sunshine burns if you get too much."

"I Hate People" .. well .. ever heard if hatred prevailed forever?

Spectator said...

love sucks. bigtime !

Somya said...

Aww...the postcard is so so so sad di! I loved it when I checked out post secret this monday. This is a sad post. After he last one on Romance, I thought u r getting into the groove :P
But, alas!

Anyway, the poem is superb. Hugs to you n Sheetal di.

Adi Crazy said...

Gunj: :P I agree to some extent...but then I m faced with realities to decide otherwise. Torn between belief and experiences...

Adi Crazy said...

Unforgiven: .....Romance is everything....deep thought...I'll get back on that...

Adi Crazy said...

Kenny: It IS true!!! Glad you liked it. hanks form e and sheetal. And thanks again for the get-out-of-it wish, i so much want to.

Adi Crazy said...

Don: :P
Hatred is long lasting, I think. Fades with time, but always remains in some way or the other, thought I hope it is not true. People hate, like they love, unreasonably, so i guess here's the answer!!! :)

Adi Crazy said...

Spectator: Bingo!! :)

Adi Crazy said...

Somya: Love you!!!

Adi Crazy said...

JC: Thanks man...however I doubt me writing anti-theory to this one :P

BTW, lemmi tell Sheetal what you have to say about her and next time I'm sure she'll throw u off from some swing.

Bibhuti said...

This kind of reminded me one of my fav quote/para by Neil Gaiman.

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.”

unforgiven said...

Love and Hate are opposites, more so than most people realize.

Love is not unreasonable. In fact, it exists for some of the best reasons why something in this life ever should. It is only with whom and when that is, unpredictable.

Hate, is unreasonable. In any form.


Ideally, love should stay longer and hate shorter, that would make sense, wouldn't it?

But hate stays while love often goes, simply because hate is easier. It is easier to shun the world and pronounce it as inherrently evil rather than embrace whatever life gives us, joy or sorrow.

Hate allows us to feel justified in keeping all our flaws, it gives us instant gratification and it serves as an effective scapegoat for all that we do wrong.


So of course hate will last long, we need hate; it involves less work!

Sutta said...

Ah, the scene seems familiar to mine.
I hate people too. Period!
You'll love 'Classically Milds'.

Keshi said...

well-said girl!

**So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers

love that!


Keshi.

Karthik S said...

Good one!!! Lines triggers something deep inside.

Cheers :-)

Pritha said...

Deep. Your status msgs on gtalk, facebook and everywhere told me something is wrong, but I dare not start something serious with you, so I kept wondering :P

All will be well. Love you.

Bubbly Vodka said...

Lovely lines. Lovely true lines. Cheers to all the learning!

Spectator said...

I hate everybody around !!! one day, surprisingly i am gonna be disappeared leaving no trail behind...

Sutta said...

I so believe what 'Unforgiven' said about Love n Hate!

"It maybe cool to hate and stupid to love, but its always easy to hate and difficult to love".

Adi Crazy said...

Bibhuti : awww...it touched my heart. Beautiful...

Adi Crazy said...

Unforgiven: Sigh. I know all of it i true, so true. Yet, I am in a frame of mind where I am denying everything..Hopefully when things change I'll be able to see it and appreciate it. :-)

Adi Crazy said...

Sutta: Same pinch!! And i really loved 'Classically Milds'. :-)

Adi Crazy said...

Keshi: Glad that you liked it. Thanks a ton! :)

Adi Crazy said...

Karthik: Thanks. This hatred is indeed deep. :P

Adi Crazy said...

Bubbly Vodka: Thanks!!!!! :D

Adi Crazy said...

Spectator: I'll follow you. Please let me follow you!!!!!!

Adi Crazy said...

Sutta: This is true. So true. But what the heck!! I m so tired trying to figure it out...

Sach said...

(¯`•._.•[Raaji]•._.•´¯) said...

Yep, the ups and downs of relationships and life are so true and so inevitable :-)
Beautiful!

geet said...

to poem is really beautifully written.

na yaar..i still lov my sis,bro,dad,mom.anger is another emotion ,just like love.

Mishra said...

To be honest, I do not have any clue about the thing called love. I am sure its not most of us perceive- the bolly-style-ishk...But,if there is "that" love,the one is there between software and hardware ( which is another way of saying,help each other realise the cause for their existence )...well in that case, I will beg to differ.

Other than that, I am on your side- to hate and mess people around :)

Gaurav said...

Anyways everyline i was going by it seemed,all my at present feelings getting physical shape in the form of your words in this post...thanks alot...i was looking for words to express how im feeling and this is how im feeling...!!

Adi Crazy said...

Raaji: Yeah, I knew you would like it. :) Thanks sweeti!

Adi Crazy said...

Geet: hahahaha!!! ROTFL

Adi Crazy said...

Mishra: I know that about you, I've known you long enough to know this :P
...and we agree on some basic points on this, right?

Adi Crazy said...

Gaurav: yeah, that's exactly what I thought when I read her comment. Thankyou! I cold drink treat for you nxt time u come to IA...which, BTW reminds me of how bored I am sitting next to an empty seat. (angry look)

Harshad Joshi said...

Look into mirrors of your soul, love and hate are one and all...

Sacrifice soon turns to revenge and believe me, you would see the face who will say - I love you, I'll kill you, but I will love you forever..

These were the lines on my gtalk status, and the girl I was meeting for almost 2 years decided to abandon me. True there was no offline relation between us, nevertheless I was fool to associate my emotions with someone who was never mine.

Su said...

Striking image used. I love Postsecret too...but a times they get beyond my life, if you know what I mean. Good post.

marvin the paranoid android said...

i guess love does not suck... what most of us perceive as love does.. i guess to most people, a crush is as good as love and then when the relationship breaks down, they feel hurt and wronged...

Harshad Joshi said...

Whatever happens, happens…

We create, We destroy

A form, nobody knows….

Desires create, Desires destroy

Still, Karma spares no one…

The Eternal Sacred Flame..

Always burns…

Feel…Understand…Learn….

Turn around and I will show you something,

Turn around and you will see

Life is a kind of roundabout, a kind of lsd*

Turn around and have faith in all those changes..

Turn around and you will see...

Remember - In every colour, theres light, in every stone, there sleeps a crystal, dont forget what the ancient words say - 'Karma spares no one...'

*lsd - Love, sensuality, devotion.

Anindita said...

Love doesn't suck, it is just way too over rated..!! Don't let your happiness depend on someone else.. Go out there and have fun. Love will find its way, sooner or later... :)
