ang ganda ng gospel ngayon, john 14:15-21, may tatlo siya ditong tinalakay: love, fuck the world, at trust.
if you love me, follow my commandments. whapak. napaka un-romantic. sinira ni jesus yung sparkling image ng love. binasag niya yung love myth: tightening of the chest, rushing of the heart beat, bringing out the best in you, you and me against the world, you are the only beauty i can see, you complete me. lahat ng mga cliche na ito na sinusubo sa atin ng hollywood, binasag niya, at plainly binigyan niya ito ng definition: if you love me, follow my commandments. hindi daw feeling ang love. hindi emotion. hindi endorphin rush. ito ay isang desisyon. isang desisyon na dapat mong ipaglaban, isabuhay at wag bitawan. isang paninindigan ang love. kung mahal mo ako, ‘di sundan mo ako. ganun ka simple. kung may mahal kang tao, mahalin mo siya, at walang bawian. ganun talaga. kasi, kung iisipin mo, hindi ka naman palagi nasa mood na sundin ang gusto ni god eh, at malamang alam niya yun, na hindi natin kaya, pero tahasan niya parin sinabi na ang paraan para mahalin mo ako, ay sundin mo ako. hindi pwedeng may mood swings. dapat sarado talaga ang isip mo. dapat isang paninindigan talaga. mahirap. pero ganun talaga. un-romantic, pero very chivalric. mas macho. hahaha.
kaya kung iisipin mo, isang malaking risk talaga ang mag love, kahit kanino, kahit kay god, kasi it entails responsibility, so big. it entails loyalty. it entails perseverance to do what is right, or in context, to do what love/your heart dictates, whatever the situation. even though things just seem to be fucked up. love is like holding a thin nylon string, the kind of thin string you use in kites. sometimes, you just can’t see what you’re holding to, and it gives hell a lot of rope burns, but you know deep inside that its the only way to keep the connection, to keep love alive, so you just don’t give away your grip. and damn, no matter how painful it is, or how unfruitful it may seem, you hold on like shit. yes, you are not sure if what you’re holding on is true, or if in the end you may find it to be futile, but deep inside, you hear this tiny little voice of assurance, a little seed of promise that bringsforth shoots of faith. faith to keep you going, and keep your nerves numb. faith that assures you of a direction, a path you have been looking for so long.
SHIT! I’M FUCKING CARRIED AWAY!!! HAHAHA!!! LOVE TALAGA… HAHAHA!!!!
