CLOSENESS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DISTANCE

Yesterday, was walking down the tunnel for the London Underground service and saw this really massive wall poster that just simply said "Closeness has nothing to do with distance".....and i thought to myself, THAT'S |DEEP. It got me thinking:


How many times have we said 'no' to long distance relationships because we think without constant monitoring people wouldnt stay faithful or be as dear to our hearts as we want them to be?


How many friendships have fizzled out because people think proximity has anything to do with how loyal your friends are to you? and whether they would still be there for you when you need them the most?


How many families are torn apart because husbands and wives are separated for long periods of time on business trips and all of a sudden one or both of them come up with the "we've just grown apart" theory?


Closeness is defined as people/objects:

1. Bound by mutual interests, loyalties, or affections; intimate: close
    friends.

2. Being near in space or time. See Usage Note at redundancy.

3. Being near in relationship: close relatives.

4. Having little or no space between elements or parts; tight and compact

Sounds to me like closeness has nothing to do with proximity but everything to do with ones state of mind and ensuring people that are special stay special in your heart and mind.


When he says he loves me..even though i havent seen him in 2 years, do i believe him?....Sure you can. As a matter of fact, thats probably more of a demonstration of love than someone who sees you everyday and confuses lust with love. Actually, come to think of it, he could still be lusting after you from afar...hmmm.....oh well...you get the point. If someone can lust after you or love you regardless of whether or not they are getting to stroke your hair on the regular, then it is also very possible that they can love you and keep you a very special point in their lives. I've got friends, loved ones and a very certain loved one ;) that distance has nothing to do with how close i feel to them. i still love them, i still care about them, i would still pluck your eye balls out and replace it with a ball of fire back into your eye sockets if you mess with them.....


Are we all in the same country?...once upon a time we were, Would we ever be in the same country all at the same time every again? ...maybe, maybe not. Would time change us so much that we may not even want to be together again?...our individual mindsets can cause that to happen. Would it be the same?...probably not. Would we still be close regardless?...only YOU and I can decide that. and if all else fails....we'd always have 'BLACKBERRY's'....LOL
