An Extraordinary Thought

A very famous linguist once said that out of all the possible combinations of any words in the English language, 'Cellar Door' is the most beautiful. More beautiful sounding, in fact, than the word beautiful itself. What an extraordinary thought. I wish I could say that one day I will be quoted, but I never will.
Shakespeare said 'Journeys end in lovers meeting', now there is an extraordinary thought. But Shakespeare also said that 'love is blind', and I know that is true. Most people don't know it, but they are blinded by love all day, everyday for their entire life. Some people are just fed up with love, and others, well love is just lost. For me, however, love has not yet been found. Now THERE'S and extraordinary thought. Who ever does fall in love, anyway? I mean, we have all liked someone, but how do we know we love someone? And for that, love is definitely (infamously) blind.
But none of that really matters, because right now I'm thinking about sometimes different that is branched off by the same line of thought. Most respected people would like to tell you that life has two extremes: Fear and Love. But as far as anyone's concerned, no one fits into either category -- well at least as far as I'm concerned. Nothing can fit into just two categories. Life is much, much too complicated to have only two categories to fall under. Humans are too complex to understand and over-thing the thought that there can be alternate universes and loopholes in time, but we don't over-think religion. Why is that? We can ask questions about science and math and history, but we can't ask questions about religion. Is it because religion is religion, get what you take from it? Or is it because there are no answers to questions? Don't get me wrong, I do believe there is a God above us, but why aren't we allowed to question faith? Because then it wouldn't be faith, now would it.
Being as open minded about something doesn't make a person good or bad. Being close minded about something doesn't make a person good or bad either. But being completely blind about something makes someone human. Because, 'we are all humans, and humans make mistakes'.
