Opposites Attract.

this is such a corny title but i really couldn't help it. while i was reading just now, i came across a theory about relationships, about how people normally seek the opposites of themselves in relationships as everyone fundementally have an issue with themselves. there will always be personal faults and stuff that one cannot accept. thus, even though, they'll be attracted to someone similar to them due to the likeness they shared, but once they see their own flaws in the other party, they might start hating the other party and eventually hating themselves for it.

i don't think this applies to every relationship and neither should i judge what makes a relationship work or fail. but, i can see the logic in this theory and agree with it. it just sounds so logical and correct, just like the north and south pole attraction in magnets. however, no matter it is being too similar or too different, a relationship is difficult to maintain and to make it last there needs lots of patience, understanding, love and forgiveness after all(line paraphrased from what the author wrote!).

yeah, i think this idea will be tossed back and forth in my mind for a couple of days before i finally decide i've a splendid conclusion or gave up(like what i did for the concept of parallel worlds).

anw, my mum is currently watching a korean drama called Temptation of an Angel/Angel's Temptation and i could completely relate it to Romeo & Juliet. other than the fact that the nickname they had for each other is romeo/juliet without heart, the line My only love sprung from my only hate fits them perfectly. the female lead hates the male lead's family as they destroyed her family. and when the male lead finds out the truth and nearly lost his life in the process, his hatred for the female lead led him to set a trap for her to execute revenge. with a new identity, he pursued the female lead and made her fall in love with him and then payed her back for her wrongdoings. i think this sounds hyper confusing. hahas, i won't get it too if i'm not the one typing away at my laptop currently. but i just thought that that line was apt for them, esp for the female lead. she hated the family and sworn to get revenge and yet, eventually she fell in love with their son even though he's under a new identity. very melodramatic and yet real.
