really?

"Dan: You love her like a dog loves its owner.
Larry: And the owner loves the dog for so doing.
Dan: You'll hurt her. You'll never forgive her.
Larry: Of course I'll forgive her. I have forgiven her. Without forgiveness we're savages."

"Larry: You don't know the first thing about love, because you don't understand compromise."

All quotes from the movie Closer.

This is the only movie I watched that left a deep imprint on me. for some reason or the other i can recall almost all the dialogues that make some sense to me. its a deep, powerful movie that sets you thinking.

And i was thinking, it's true, without forgiveness we're no different from creatures or animals. and what puts us right at the top of the hierarchy is that we have feelings, that we forgive. so shouldn't we all forgive and let live?

so i forgive the girlfriend each and every time. i still don't know why i feel that at times she just wants to spite me. maybe at that moment of anger, she will. but its all ok, because i know she is just bitter about something i do. and that moment will pass. i know i will change, i know i will stop doing what she doesn't like; it will just take time. but until then, its still all perfect because no one can make me as happy as she does. and because i know no one loves me like she does.

just one last thought. love is all about compromise, or is it not? i tink it is, only because in love, we give and take. so in a way, it really is all about compromise. and i believe that with compromise, love will be neverending.
