I just happened to stumble on this “essay” (i think) from my jblomtz letter box and I thought of sharing it with you. I wrote this during the time when I almost fell for someone who was not meant to be loved. This momentary insanity of mine occured sometime between Feb ‘99 and Nov ‘99.

“What is it that beckons man to temptation? Is it because of his so-called emotion that is facilely beguiled? Or is it because of his liberated mind that is so debauchedly unfettered?

Our emotions can really be deceptive at times. In our pursuit for true and lasting happiness, we refuse to relent to our mind’s rationality, so much to our conscience’s ethics. We tend to eject whatever sensible explaination there is because our heart is dominating three-fourths of our entire system. The moment our heart is ignited by some egregious fervor, it will become dependent to that feeling–becoming addicted to it. Such overwhelmed rapture is common to those who are “emotionally deprived of.” Those who feel un-loved or less loved by anybody. Eventually, submission to carnality would then be inevitable as morality is being hampered by the addiction.

Nevertheless, prejudice is never tolerated here. Let us not put all the indictment on our pathetic emotion. The mind has something to partake too. It is not always the emotion that drives man to temptation. Somehow, we know when temptation comes…and we can feel it. A tiny voice then cautious us to be on guard and to concede not to the enticement. But man is never satisfied. His mind never rests from seeking new challenges, always defying even insurmountable quests…and temptation is one. The sweetness of what is forbidden is indeed pleasantly puzzling. As curiosity arises, the mind plays its part. Weighing the consequences, the mind goes for it, disregarding the conscience’s exhortation.

…And before we know it, the effects of our “demented behaviour” is more grisly than what we have expected. It is now facing us fiercely…monster-like. Its claws strip us of our dignity, while its pestilent breath suffocates us to eternal damnation.

But then again, how should we distinguish between love and temptation? What then if in our entire life we have not fallen for anybody, but to someone whose life is already bequeathed to somebody? How can we resist temptation when we are feeling the kind of emotion that has never before been part of our system? Should we try to yield to life’s norms and renounce the zeal of passion? Or should we fight for the love we feel to the disgrace of our own dignity?

Love is like a diamond with many facets…so many that you can never tell which side you’re facing.”

The truth is, I really am not sure whether I wrote it or just read it from some magazine and copied it. Hehe! One thing that made me think it’s my composition are the corrections I made (i gather) on this.If you have any knowledge of such writing being published in any magazine or newspaper, please do let me know. The last thing I want is to be charged with plagiarism…Thanks!
