I aim to misbehave

Affection is the essence of life. Affection, after fear, is the most powerful of our emotions.

We humans differ in many ways when it comes affection. I have never able comprehend for instance at our desire to show affection towards inanimate objects. I show none but most people do. People also tend to be affectionate towards other species which is also a mystery for me. Showing affection and getting it definitely has a positive effect on people.  

What your are today, your personality, your behavior, your intelligence, your likes and dislikes, your beliefs or lack of it is related to the amount of affection you received as kid. More of it is not necessarily good and less of it is not necessarily bad. No that is not a contradiction. Certain traits and virtues develop in people at both ends of the spectrum.

Who or what people choose show affection towards is random at best, people don’t seem to be able or want to ascertain it. When it comes to other humans more often than not people seem to choose others based on their virtues or vanities unconsciously or even instinctively. People are the same time very conscious about the fact that affection can bring them both joy and sorrow.

What I have been able to gather studying affection is that people are strange.

Trying to capture a characters feelings from the novel in am reading in the form of a poetry.

The moonlight they try to find you
Naked as you lay in my arms
I laugh at my desire for you
To be mine and only mine

I don’t want the flowers to smell you.
I don’t want the wind to feel you.
I don’t want people to sway you.
All I ever wanted was you to be mine.

I don’t want the birds talk to you.
I don’t want the sun to see you.
I don’t want the sea to touch you.
What it means for you to be mine?

Won’t let the heavens steal you
For joy is all they can give you
Sorrow is for me to share with you
I know what it means for you to be mine.

Won’t let the devil get to you
For pain is all he can give you
I don’t own you. You do.
You are mine.

There Will Be Blood is the best movie I’ve seen in years. Acting by Daniel Day-Lewis by far the best by any actor in recent times.
