Love gets so complicated,
It gets you frustrated,
You choose it again and again
Even when there's nothing to gain
What makes it worth your time?
Is the feeling that sublime?
You say without it your life is dreary
Yet it's the very thing that makes you weary
In love there's no right or wrong,
Its melody is like a broken song
Often it comforts, often it saddens,
Often it liberates, often it maddens
Yet the world longs for love
It's a gift after all from the heavens above
What you do with it is upto you
But remember, true love, is the privilege of a few
So if there's someone you love, go show that you care,
But along with the good times, embrace the despair
And if your love truly stems from the heart,
You'll find a way to be with one another, even when apart
It gets you frustrated,
You choose it again and again
Even when there's nothing to gain
What makes it worth your time?
Is the feeling that sublime?
You say without it your life is dreary
Yet it's the very thing that makes you weary
In love there's no right or wrong,
Its melody is like a broken song
Often it comforts, often it saddens,
Often it liberates, often it maddens
Yet the world longs for love
It's a gift after all from the heavens above
What you do with it is upto you
But remember, true love, is the privilege of a few
So if there's someone you love, go show that you care,
But along with the good times, embrace the despair
And if your love truly stems from the heart,
You'll find a way to be with one another, even when apart
Shut your mouth, Jabronis.

I don’t believe in Fatwas. But if we must issue one, let’s put it to optimum use. First, anyone who can’t exercise basic restraint in speech is disastrous for society. I’m talking about the loony variety that randomly meets you and say something totally inappropriate like ‘Isn’t that person ugly?, or it could even be a snide remark, apparently in jest, directed towards you. While the temptation to respond to that by swiftly delivering a swollen cheek reaches dizzying heights before sanity eventually takes over, tolerance is of the essence here.
People who comment on another’s appearance are so far below on the evolutionary scale that you’d need to excavate endlessly to bring them to the surface. It is never funny to joke about someone’s appearance or for that matter any physical attribute that they have no control over. Moreover, in a media-fed society where every opinion is visually dictated to us, our entire concept of beauty is distorted. Actually it’s plain retarded. While I’ve personally reached a point in my life where it doesn’t affect me whether you call me attractive or unattractive, I’m sure other people are affected by such snide remarks. So what do you do? Ignore? Retaliate? Nah. Smile. Not the wide, grinning, elated one. But the one in which you let out a stream of air from your nose and your lips part to about 30% of a full smile. It’s laced with just a dash of indifference. I’ve perfected that look. Honestly, it’s the best way to disarm a verbal-diarrheic sufferer. And they are guaranteed to be left looking like the joke is on them. But don’t forget to bang in a quick, mental ‘God Bless You’. And mean it. Karma points should be overflowing - never know when you need to redeem them.
You need to realise that nothing anyone says to you can ever have any power over you. And the moment you allow anyone to, you’ve disappointed that all-pervading entity above. For he has made you perfect, and to allow a fellow, superficial human being to challenge that is indulging is spiritual hara-kiri.
