Gestures of Love and Hate!

Last night, 15 Jan, 2011, it came to my attention how important gestures are. As you know, a gesture is a form of non-verbal communication, and its always interpreted in many different ways, depending on your cultures as well as where in the world you come from.

And its funny how we project ourselves using gestures of hate and love and not even knowing it. I am in admiration for those who spread gestures of love as it emits and lights up a room, sending off a positive sense of love, feeling and affection to your partner, using only forms of non-verbal-nism. If expressed in an act of true love, one immediately picks up these energies and somehow it spreads to those who share love or are in-love with their partners. It's an amazing feeling... yeah I've felt it. I am totally besotted with gestures of love, and God could not have created anything else this special as being able to express oneself only using your mind, body and soul. ooooh I'm getting tingling feelings now hahaha.

Then on the flip-side, are the gestures of hate. Its such a crude and rude way of expressing oneself especially when you enter a new environment of people and the welcoming of your presence is not that forthcoming. You immediately tense up in your shoulders, as you endure the 'if looks could kill, I would be six feet under' gesture. All that is needed are your facial gestures, especially eyes that daunt down at you expressing thoughts of 'who the F**K are you, and what the F***k you doing here?'.

In a nutshell, that is how powerful gestures are, especially when you go about throwing them around randomly without giving thought of what you are actually doing.

Morale of gestures, when you love someone, don't hold back how you feel, show it. Kiss , Love, Feel, Touch, Smile, Laugh, and know that actions speak the loudest and it shows much more than thought out words. Mmm... but as far as Hate gestures go, I guess one may show his/ emotions when angry, but try not to enforce any type of abuse towards your partner, because then that gesture of anger turns into a violent act which and that is never a good thing.

I think I should've made my heading gestures of love rather hey?... Anyway, here is a quote of love, that should keep you pondering and on your toes for a while.


"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."
-St. Augustine



Have an awesome day... Chow Bella :)
