... and it begins with a "how" and a "when"

As my first blog I keep thinking what to post. Nothing comes to my mind. Sitting in front of my laptop with my thinking "shirt" on I realize there are too many things to list and yet something within me is not ready to let it out.

I believe the fact that a blog can be read by anyone is an idea which is a little scary. One has to be sure to let someone into that small world which one keeps alienated from everyone. Not that you have to let out your deep down secrets but then just like chatting you never know - different people comprehend your words differently. And it is not always important "what" you say, but always important "how" and "when" you say it.

Lets take the simplest and probably one of the the most important phrases in the world: "I Love You"
Just write it down on a piece of paper and read it. It would probably mean nothing to you, but would have a thousand meanings, interpretations, judgements if you give it to someone else. Again, comprehending its true meanings would depend on multiple parameters: who is the person, how much do you know him/her, when did you give it, did you say anything while giving it etc etc. Ofcourse, only you can explain the real meaning.

Now lets see "when" do YOU usually say it and "how" to anyone worthy of its meaning.

-- when: after getting an unexpected gift
-- how: usually with a hug or a kiss
-- when: after you've apologized for being an ass
-- how: with a sad, long, pitiful face because you recall all the crucial times when you needed them and they were there
-- when: they will do things for you without expecting a return
-- how: usually with a smile and a feeling that you have rightly figured them out at least once.
-- when: they simply say "I Love You"
-- how: you respond quick and straight with very less emotions involved cause you are not really in the mood to say it.
-- when: in an argument they say it first
-- how: you usually return the favor because the lines of anger on your forehead start to recede and somehow in the heated argument you find peace

Simply replacing the "how" with a different one would kill the very purpose of saying "I Love you". The meaning would change, the emotion would die and the person hearing it would have a hard time picking up the right interpretation of its meaning from all the computations to each interpretation.

As human beings we say everything with certain emotions, and I think I've started blogging with best of them all.
