Whoever said the game of true love is not for the faint hearted wasn’t kidding. It’s probably one of the riskiest games as it involves emotional ties. Rihanna compares true love to the dangerous game of Russian roulette. She says:
“and you can see my heart beating. You can see it through my chest Said I’m terrified, but I’m not leaving. I know that I must pass this test so just pull the trigger”
Now the game of Russian roulette is a potentially lethal game of chance in which a player places a single round in a revolver, spins the cylinder, places the muzzle against their head, and pulls the trigger. It involves the element of risk-taking and the spinning of the revolver’s cylinder being reminiscent of spinning a roulette wheel. This game originated from Russia and was usually played along with shots of Vodka.
When you truly love someone, you are giving yourself away to that person. The bullet in the head in the essence is the fact that your lover may not love you back or dump you or the fact that you never moved on after the loss or death of that lover.
Probably one of the best love story of all time Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare explains the dangerous and neediest side of love. When Romeo learnt of Juliet’s death he decided to kill himself rather than live without her. He bought a vial of poison from a reluctant Apothecary, sped back to Verona, drunk the poison and took his own life at Juliet’s tomb. At the same time, Juliet awakes and sees her beloved Romeo and realizes he has killed himself with poison. She kisses his poisoned lips, and when that does not kill her, buries his dagger in her chest, falling dead upon his body.
Love has the ability to make you feel glorious but also has the ability hurt you deeply and the faint hearted should never experience true love only that very often than not they experience it.
Ancient Mythology was not silent about true love. Cupid is the most famous of Valentine symbols and everybody knows that boy armed with bow and arrows, and piercing hearts. He is known as a mischievous, winged child armed with bow and arrows. The arrows signify desires and emotions of love, and Cupid aims those arrows at Gods and Humans, causing them to fall deeply in love. Cupid has always played a role in the celebrations of love and lovers. In ancient Greece he was known as Eros, the young son of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. To the Roman’s he was Cupid, and his mother was Venus.
Cupid is depicted to be holding a bow and arrows because in the ancient time bows and arrows were one of the best weapons used in war that would quickly and stealthily kill their intended victim. This showed that love in its nature has a dangerous and often stealth nature and quite frankly sure that if those ancient guys had guns, that baby would be shown holding a silencer gun or a silencer pistol instead of the out dated bow and arrow.
True love is the utmost feeling that manifests in unselfishness, sharing, caring and love of your lover above self yet often if poisoned or poorly guided manifest itself as dependency and neediness for your lover. With true love there is a feeling that you have seized to be an independent person but rather your emotions become intertwined with your lover emotions which is sometimes a good thing.
Often True love has to be fought for and tested. It may come on a silver plate or as result of calculated moves but either way it has to be fought for, tested and proven. This is why I say that true love is not for the faint hearted, it is for the strong warriors that would go to the end of the earth and back fighting for their true love.
Every one experiences love at some point in their lives but only a few experience true love. True love is deep love, deeper than ordinary love. It is the joining of two souls to be one and feel each other. The bond of true love is hard to break and cause a lot of pain and suffering when attempting to break them. One of the times when you can feel this bond is during sex.
True love is sweet and a blissful place but is also a game of Russian roulette and any time the bullet may hit you. My advice is that when you are lucky enough to experience true love, make sure you enjoy every moment of it to the fullest because time always comes when you miss it. We love many people in our lives but only true love is experienced with a single person in a lifetime.
