~ “Personal relationships are the fertile soil from which all advancement… all success… all achievement in real life grows.” (Ben Stein) ~
Human relationships are predictable in the sense that everyone needs to feel comfort. However, a person is capable of loving more than one person, and loving one person in more than one way. This is because there are different types of love a person can feel: self love, family love, passionate love, friendship love, marital love, adulterous love, love of nature, love of possessions, and many more types of love. All can be either positive or negative, giving a wide range of relationships that can exist. Love grows and can be felt for all living and non living things.
Love and relationships is a major theme in literature, especially in poetry. If human relationships were predictable, all poetry would begin to get repetitive and boring. But actually, poetry is insightful and interesting because of the wide range of emotions expressed. Even just by listening to the radio, it is evident that all human relationships are different. True, most go through similar problems such as jealousy, but most experience highs as well. Songs are just poems set to music.
This is one of my dances with a group of other students. One is missing, so some of the formations are a little off. And, as you will see, I am pretty much awesome at setting up a tri-pod, so that explains why the edges are cutting off some of the dancers…
(I will be re-doing this video of the dance when we have our dress-rehearsal, but as this assignment is due on Friday, this will have to do for now.)
The reason I decided to include this dance was because of the song it is put to. It is called “Bleeding Love” by Leona Lewis. The message of the song fits in with the topic human relationships because it is about a relationship between two people. Leona talks about how she used to close herself off from love because it was too painful, but then she found someone who is trying to change what she thought about love. The relationship is toying with her heart, and she describes it like this: “My heart’s crippled by the vein/That I keep on closing/You cut me open and I/Keep bleeding/ keep, keep bleeding love.” I think this is a powerful song that describes how hard it is to totally close yourself off from other human beings, because love flows all around you constantly. It is too difficult to ignore the relationships you have with other people, because they are types of connections that can never be broken.
