Then it hit me. The old saying about for everyone there is
someone. Cast in a different light you could say that every frog is a prince or
princess for someone. And her friend was correct up to a point: you have to
spend some time looking around, sampling the wares so to speak, before the
green peels away revealing the royalty beneath. But you have to do the sampling
yourself. Recommendations from others rarely work, because where they see royalty,
you see frog. I know everyone that reads this has looked at a couple somewhere
and thought “what the hell does she (he) see in him (her)? Simple. She sees a
prince and you see a frog.
So go easy the next time you are tempted to make a judgment
based on what you see. Others will surely see the same thing differently. You
are probably a prince or princess to someone, and a frog to others. Remember
what Kermit (1) said: “It’s not easy being green.” And he also said:
“And people tend to pass you over
'Cause you're not standing out
Like flashy sparkles in the water
Or stars in the sky”
Not many of us stand out like flashy
sparkles in the water. But sometimes someone sees a tiny little sparkle, gives
you a kiss, and reveals the royalty underneath. And by the way, the
converse is also true: sometimes you find a prince and after the kiss he turns
into a frog.'Cause you're not standing out
Like flashy sparkles in the water
Or stars in the sky”

Judging by today's divorce rate (not just in this country, but world wide) I can't help but to conclude that the nature of the relationship dynamics has changed dramatically, and the princess-like view doesn't work any more. As we are moving away from monarchy and closer to an imaginary democracy, the diplomacy is the only thing that works in a successful partnership that leaves the royalty treatment as outdated and usually disappointingly short-lived. I observed few couples and asked myself the question "what do they find in each other", and I have been 71.42% right (or 29.58% wrong), as my observations were confirmed by their divorce.
ReplyDeleteI do agree that there is a special person for everybody, in fact I think that there is more than one special person out there in this over populated world. There is 7,000,540,360 people to choose from, which makes odds of finding a right person much greater then a decade ago.
In conclusion, I do love me some frogs, or shall I say frog legs; they are delicious... :-)
Indeed, they are. And I suppose you read the essay on vaginas?
ReplyDeleteYou better be careful with the word VAGINA, because apparently it is an awful word and you may be kicked off this blogger's page for using foul language hahahahaaha... Instead you should use: button hole, cabbage patch, cave of harmony, clamper, cooter, glove of love, hair pie, happy valley, harbor of hope, nook, piss flaps, snapper, tunnel of love, yum-yum...
