LOVE-Boundaries-Soul mates-Status

Let's see, where do I start? So continuing on with my ongoing blogs on love and soul mates I want to write about Borders, boundaries, status (be it economical or otherwise), I think you see where I'm going here. So if Love knows no boundaries and is not bound by any laws, be it written or theoretical, then why do we try to control it? What do I mean? I'm glad you asked. Let me take you back to a fairytale where this young girl was poor without anything to call her own. The only family she had hated her-a wicked step mother and a couple sisters. Ah, you figured it out-yes, it is Cinderella. We all know the story well, she had nothing but was given a chance (<--Key point) by her fairy god mother to spiff up and head to the ball for an opportunity to meet prince charming. In this case it all worked out in the end but in today’s society does this ever happen? Does the Pretty Woman get her knight in shining armor? Unfortunately not too often. Why do we let so many things get in the way of falling in love? What does social status really have to do with love? What if you are rich and your soul mate hasn't been so lucky? What are you falling in love with, the person or the equality? Whether considered lucky or unlucky, God has allowed me to see people with the blinders off. I can stand in the company of anyone, regardless of how much money they have, or how successful they are and feel just as secure and confident in whom I am as if I were standing with the poorest beggar in the street. We are all just people. Yes, some are born in better circumstances, some have more money, some have much power-just people. We are all born with nothing and we all take nothing with us so why should equality be only at birth & death? I have stood and conversed with Millionaires, Singers, Nascar drivers, & corporate executives and it didn't feel any different talking to them as it does talking to a co-worker. I've been out with Doctors, Doctors-ex-wives, Lawyers ex-wives, successful business women, average women and women who couldn't support themselves-but guess what-all just people. Why do people get intimidated by money, or status? I don't get it. I had a conversation recently about how the people were going crazy and crying at the American Idol shows as these kids sang and the whole star struck thing just confuses me. How many passed these kids on the street a month before they made it big and wouldn't give them the time of day and now they fall at their feet, utterly confusing. In my mind I see the same person before and after stardom...just a person. So back to my thought; Why can't a Hollywood film star fall in love with a white collar worker? Love doesn't see status. Love doesn't see the financial statement. Love only sees the person. What if you are of higher status and your soul mate is just an average person, do you look over them because of status? If so you may never be happily in love. People need to see each other for what they are-just people. Suppose we both made a choice-yours made you wealthy and mine made me poor. Did that decision change the heart of either of us? It shouldn't, we should still be the same person. I can't help but have the urge to down grade myself just to make sure people like me for who I am...me. Note: not that I have anything to brag about, I am poor...lol.. Just a burger flipper at McDonalds. I don't know, I think I got lost in my own thoughts here. I guess the bottom line is- see people for who they really are and not what they have. Give somebody outside your status a chance, ah yes remember the key point? Without a chance people have exactly that- no chance. Cinderella would still be cleaning the basement of the castle had she not been given a chance. You may just be surprised at what you may discover. A true friend, a summer love or maybe your soul mate. Until next time. Keeponkeepin'on
