simple assignment

Okay. So i was given this simple assignment by Patterson. It looks simple but it really is complicated. hehehehe. He asked me to give an interpretation to a quote that i guess he had read it somewhere. Oh well, let me try and give my own interpretation of it. If you think i have wrong interpretation or you would like to give your comment and/or own interpretation you are free to do so. Just send me a comment wokey.

Hmmm... So the quote goes like this:
absence is to love like air is to fire. it extinguishes the weak and it rekindles the great


My Interpretation:

if in a relationship, the love that builds the relationship is weak constant absence will possibly cause love to deminish easily. But if the foundation of love is so strong - build with trust and honesty - absence will just merely be the instrument which will make the even love stronger. It may seem impossible but considering a popular saying, "absence makes the heart grow fonder". The more you miss the person the more you will show affection, the more a person would be passionate and the eagerness to feel one's touch and kiss will be greater.

you might ask why "absence is to love" was associated to "air is to fire". to simplify it, air can cause fire to stop or even make it worse or spread. Just like love. If love is weak in a relationship, constant or long absence could cause the relationship to be on a stage what they call "on the rocks" or even worse it will bring the relationship to an end. But if love is strong, no matter how far a person is separated from his/her loved one for a long time, the relationship will remain strong and lasting.



Whew!!! At last i can say that my explanation is done. I don't know if I have explained it well and interpreted it correctly. It even looks like i was just repeating myself. But oh well, that's just my point of view.

I’m sorry but what I see on the quote only tells one thing.. » "LOVE IN A DISTANCE"

Hares my explanation about: "absence is to love like air is to fire."
yes it is true that "The more you miss the person the more you will show affection or Strong affection you mean" and the word fire represents STRONG and air is to is average or normal - BUT you forgotten that sometimes missing someone else and waiting any longer is not good for love.. Coz love sometimes FADES when you miss a lot... Why I say so? Coz if you misses Someone then you probably Look for the emptiness, whom should be the right person who will give the Right Attention or Affection.. Nah.. medyo magulo sinabi ko pero hope you get what I mean..

about "it extinguishes the weak and it rekindles the great"

I cant agree on this one. How can come it is so great love? When it fades all in a sudden? See what I mean? Ahehe Men are passionate, they want the presence and they want the attention. So some women too. Am I right? =)
