For You I Will

Friedrich Von Schiller once said, ~Love is at the same time the most generous and the most egotistical thin in nature; the most generous because it receives nothing and gives all--pure in mind being only to give and not receive; the most egotistical, for that which he seeks in the subject, that which he enjoys in it, is himself and never anything else.~ When it comes to falling in love or being in love, the so called power it exudes makes you want to become not only a better person for one's self bit also for that particular guy or girl as well. For it essentially brings out the hopeless romantic in each of us, which oftentimes displays are own selfless acts of kindness/generosity without expecting anything in return.

Without a doubt, it's a rarity these days for both men and women to meet someone whose generosity comes straight from within that person's heart and soul. For a woman, its difficult to truly find a true gentleman who you can genuinely trust. What he says/does for you is true and yet you end up finding a "gentlemen" in sheep's clothing, in a manner of speaking. A "gentlemen '' whose generosity has ulterior motives that oftentimes leaves a woman in tears, as well as, emotional and physically used. For its not only women who experience this, but guys as well who are being taken advantage due to their "nice guy" status that it makes a guy want to turn in his "Mr. Nice Guy'' membership card and step over to the darkside, but I digress.

Let me ask you this question to both men and women, when it comes to selfless acts of kindness/generosity for a potential and/or significant other, do you do it because you have to or do you do it because you want to? As a guy, calling a particular female you're interested in to simply say hi or leaving messages to hopefully brighten her spirit and day, or having flowers delivered to her just show that person is in your thoughts are considered gambles due to the fact you have no idea what type of effect, if any, it's going to have on her. It's that unknown, which makes any guy out there willing to be perceived as a love struck fool than to be a fool who didn't at least try and follow one's heart towards that special someone.

As said before, love can be considered the most egotistical thing in nature, which means that a person can have that somewhat Steve Urkel mindset. A mindset in which the thoughtful phone messages left and the flowers sent for a reason or no reason at all to that particular female flips on a metaphorical light switch in one's brain, as well as, heart to where he or she immediately falls in love with you, runs into your arms, and a happy ending/beginning for both. It's an egotistical way of thinking, but you have to admit we all have been in that mindset which shows a level of confidence that shows you are optimistic but not overly optimistic to where one gets his or her hopes up and becomes disappointed when things don't turn out how one planned.

In retrospect, when you meet that special person, questions will be asked that one wants answered which eases your own heart and soul. Such questions are: Will you always be there for me through the tough times no matter how close or far I am? Will you always be there to protect me physically and emotionally? Will you be the person who will always light my way like the sun in the sky? Will you be my hero as you shield me and protect me from harm to the point you give up your own life for me? Will you be my strength when I feel weak and most of all will you fight for me? In the end, it's that person who will look you in the eyes and say to you from one's heart and soul...for you I will, which is a song by Monica that reflects this particular thought
