Eve's Words

Adam & Eve in the Garden of Eden

I went to Uni way too early today and I had absolutely nothing to do. That's when I went to the fiction section of the library which is a really small section and I found this book rather interesting, "The Diary of Adam & Eve" by Mark Twain. Hahaha...I'm no Christian but I just thought it would be interesting to read about it. I'm not even sure if all I read in there were even true. It was rather funny the way Adam and Eve experimented with stuff like the animals or plants. In fact, in Adam's diary, he called Eve as 'a creature with long hair' at the beginning. Whereas Eve decided that Adam and her were 'Experiments'. Oh oh! There was one part where they had their first born, Cain. Adam thought that the baby was a fish at first and as Cain grew up to crawl on all fours, Adam suggested that it was a kangaroo and later on a bear. LOL! It's really amusing when you read about how they discover life slowly. ^_^

Anyways, I came to this page about Eve's diary and she was actually pondering about what love is and why she love Adam. Here's what she said:

".....that this kind of love is not a product of reasoning and statistics. It just comes - none knows whence - and cannot explain itself. And doesn't need to."

To some, it may not mean much but to me it does. Every time I question myself about why I love someone, I'd always tell myself that I love this and that qualities about that special person. But then, there are times when that special someone does not carry out those qualities and yet, I still love him. I ask myself why. And after reading that particular sentence from Eve, I feel that it is true. The first time you felt something really true for a person, you didn't even understand why you felt the way you do. I mean, there are so many other out there who could have the same qualities or values as him or her but why choose this one person? It's something even scientist cannot explain. To me, it's a feeling so true and honest that all you need to do is to just share it with that special someone. =) But, there might be other perspectives too...who knows? Hahaha...

Oh! And right at the bottom of that page, someone wrote,

"If you are reading this, you are beautiful. If you have a significant someone, love him or her dearly. If you don't have a significant someone, you will find someone soon".

Again, it might not be much of a sentence but there are people out there who might be awaken by such words and it could change their lives. I'm so glad I read this book today!

Hmm...maybe I should scribble some notes on a random book too. *giggles*
