Nostalghia

My conscience wants vegetarianism to win over the world. And my subconscious is yearning for a piece of juicy meat. But what do I want?

Charlie Kauffman and the coffee shop

A u-turn I had taken in life once was to keep the faith in 'love' as a feeling. It was too corny of a confession but, I didn't mean the 'corny' way - I was just saying that you gotta acknowledge love, if you really can't deny it completely.

Actually, the way I wanted to say so was that I didn't feel the need for any human language to have to separate words for passion and love. They are so much the same; They both are made up by those unbridled feelings that the only drive that carries you. I am even sure there would a good enough statistical correlation between true lovers, and people passionate about something, anything.

Charlie Kauffman's movies actually helped in that assertion; some of them even changed the way I used to look at things. Not sure, if his movies would contribute to existentialism too but at least my interpretations would. In "adaptation" and more so in 'TESoASM' the idea of loving what you love is defended to its best, without having any expectations from what you love because thats what love is all about. It is, only if it is unrequited. If its not unrequited, it would be just an agreement. If its an agreement, you would find something to trade it for. So, it can't be love... i think that is right. You gotta love few things in life, and love them with no expectations (the last one was from software design, not from existentialism nor kauffman)
