-Lily- Posted April 3, 2008 Convention of those wounded in love General provisions: A – Whereas the saying “all is fair in love and war” is absolutely correct; B – Whereas for war we have the Geneva Convention, approved on 22 August 1864, which provides for those wounded in the battle field, but until now no convention has been signed concerning those wounded in love, who are far greater in number; It is hereby decreed that: Article 1 – All lovers, of any sex, are alerted that love, besides being a blessing, is also something extremely dangerous, unpredictable and capable of causing serious damage. Consequently, anyone planning to love should be aware that they are exposing their body and soul to various types of wounds, and that they shall not be able to blame their partner at any moment, since the risk is the same for both. Article 2 – Once struck by a stray arrow fired from Cupid’s bow, they should immediately ask the archer to shoot the same arrow in the opposite direction, so as not to be afflicted by the wound known as “unrequited love”. Should Cupid refuse to perform such a gesture, the Convention now being promulgated demands that the wounded partner remove the arrow from his/her heart and throw it in the garbage. In order to guarantee this, those concerned should avoid telephone calls, messages over the Internet, sending flowers that are always returned, or each and every means of seduction, since these may yield results in the short run but always end up wrong after a while. The Convention decrees that the wounded person should immediately seek the company of other people and try to control the obsessive thought: “this person is worth fighting for”. Article 3 – If the wound is caused by third parties, in other words if the loved one has become interested in someone not in the script previously drafted, vengeance is expressly forbidden. In this case, it is allowed to use tears until the eyes dry up, to punch walls or pillows, to insult the ex-partner in conversations with friends, to allege his/her complete lack of taste, but without offending their honor. The Convention determines that the rule contained in Article 2 be applied: seek the company of other persons, preferably in places different from those frequented by the other party. Article 4 – In the case of light wounds, herein classified as small treacheries, fulminating passions that are short-lived, passing sexual disinterest, the medicine called Pardon should be applied generously and quickly. Once this medicine has been applied, one should never reconsider one's decision, not even once, and the theme must be completely forgotten and never used as an argument in a fight or in a moment of hatred. Article 5 – In all definitive wounds, also known as “breaking up”, the only medicine capable of having an effect is called Time. It is no use seeking consolation from fortune-tellers (who always say that the lost lover will return), romantic books (which always have a happy ending), soap-operas on the television or other such things. One should suffer intensely, completely avoiding drugs, tranquilizers and praying to saints. Alcohol is only tolerated if kept to a maximum of two glasses of wine a day. Final determination: Those wounded in love, unlike those wounded in armed conflict, are neither victims nor torturers. They chose something that is part of life, and so they have to accept both the agony and the ecstasy of their choice. And those who have never been wounded in love will never be able to say: “I have lived”. Because they haven’t.

SCORPION_SISTA Posted April 3, 2008 So true Lily Often people are afraid to experience love because they don't want to get hurt, but without the pain one can't appriciate the joy...If one hasn't turely loved they haven't lived fully...Article 5 discuss getting over someone takes time, but it isn't always that...I think it is the person allowing themselves to experience the loss and the ache just breakup bring about rather than just avoiding...And then coming to term with it, and once you are peacful with it you move on completely...Bee bye Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nephissa Posted April 3, 2008 Article 3 – If the wound is caused by third parties, in other words if the loved one has become interested in someone not in the script previously drafted, vengeance is expressly forbidden.

Alla, if you could only hear stuff some people say! Matag baa ku qabaanaayo. I never could understand how people can be so hateful to somebody they once loved enough to have children with or marry.

Hmm I disagree with you, but why would you say somali aren't afraid to experience love? I mean the true sense of the word "love" not just the infatuation or the pretend love!!!

Yaabka-Yaabkiis Posted April 14, 2008 ^^all they do is 'pretend love', hence it is early days after you hurt when you promising your life: 'you will not involve into relationships again',but Human being have little mind- we saw our selves into it again!

SCORPION_SISTA Posted April 14, 2008 Well see if Somali people are this way about pretend love imagine how guarded they would be toward true love...Personally speaking, when I experienced "love" the first time it was exhilarated and exciting, and despite how it ended I wouldn't have changed it for anything...As a matter of fact It made me look forward to really falling in love...Bee bye Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yaabka-Yaabkiis Posted April 14, 2008 Caashaqal Digaag, that is really what most of us do, which lead them to a blind marriage! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
