Why Some People Prefer A Long Distance Love Affair?

Believe it or not, but long distance love affair is very common these days. Not because the modern technology can makes it possible, but maybe because a lot of people believe that in love, distance is not a big deal. 

This type of relationship is not new to all of us. This isn’t something that’s just introduced lately, this existed some years back. I know some ended up with the typical “happily ever after” scenario. You know, like those on fairy tale stuff where despite the distance between the two people, but in the end the prince will appear to rescue his princess. And then hurray! They live happily ever after! However, there are also some that didn’t last and didn’t work out well, so they ended up with their own fairy tell tale “happily never after”. 

Regardless of how the relationship ended doesn’t really matter. Question is why are there couples that prefer a long distance relationship? Is it because it is less complicated and stressful compared to the normal and usual relationship? Or was it because these individuals feel comfortable with such relationship type compared to the typical one?

There actually are a number of reasons why some of the people will prefer this kind of relationship. I know someone who had the longest relationship that I ever knew. They look good and perfect together. They look like they had each other since forever! Until suddenly one day, I just heard they broke up. Distance wasn’t the issue, not even schedules. They see each other regularly. But what went wrong? After several years from their break up, I’ve heard that this person is having a relationship with someone across the mile, across the continent. Out of curiosity, I asked her the reason why she chose someone from a distant land. She said, to her a relationship is not about seeing each other and talking often. It is not about hearing those sweet words of promises and sharing plans about the future. It isn’t about how long you’ve known the person. Not about race, age, profession and possession. It is all about trust, respect, sincerity, honesty and responsibility. She didn’t tell me though the reasons for her break up with her guy whom she had the longest relationship with. However, it seems like what she really want to tell me was that a relationship is useless without trust, and trust is nonsense if a person to whom you grant it to is deceitful. 

Relationship is not about togetherness. It isn’t about distances either. It also is not about color and race. A relationship is about devotion and responsibility of a person to his or her partner.

Defining Life by Living Life

Most of us might be thinking of the answer to the question "What is life?” Some might still try to seek its real definition. Even the smartest person I know can't give me the precise definition of life. 

As we go along life, that is living it every day, we’ll be living life’s definition. It appears that life is not something that can be defined using a general term. Life depends on how a person lives it. It is how a person deals with it. 

In a happy person's perspective, life could be defined as something prefect! It could be an overall existence of contentment, satisfaction, glorious pleasure and fulfillment. However, if you will hear a melancholic person's description, life is compared to a darkest maze that leads to a place called nowhere.

You don’t have to ask somebody to know life’s real definition. You actually hold the information and the answers to the questions you have been longing to hear. Start within yourself. Have a random check on whatever you have. Anything you own. Whomever you are with. Look around you. Look within you.

Start answering some questions, in that way you will find answers for your old questions. How far have you been in giving love, respect and trust? How long have you been dealing with the same circumstance? Have you been faced with challenges and get passed it? How good is your relationship with other people? How many people whom you have painted a smile on their faces on? How loud and free have you laughed? Have you reached your highest speed running? Or you just kept your silence under your shadow in the four corners of your box? Can you say that you are happy and satisfied with whatever possessions and achievements you have today? Or you want to look back and reconsider those choices and options that you rejected?

Life actually, is a journey to a path called “uncertainty”. How you’ll reach the finish line depends on how you take your steps. It is not about the speed of reaching there, it is about the choices you make that gets you there at the right time. And when you’re there and feel contented and fulfilled, that is the time you can say that you have lived life. That will be the time that you’ll realize the real definition of life.
