My Day

What’s up! Today, during the day, I only did one quick computer architecture exercise, and otherwise nothing.

But in the evening, we went to watch the opera Magic Flute from Mozart. We = my family and I, except Emily and Leah.
First, a quick story over-view: The princess (Pamina) is held against her own will. The prince (Tamino) gets shown a picture of her, immediately falls in love, and wants to go free/save & marry her. For that, he travels with Papageno, which is a bird-catcher (and kinda the comic-relief character).
On their quest, the prince and Papageno have some sort of ordeal to get enlightenment (sorta led by the “villain”), which if they successfully complete, they get to marry the perfect woman (for them).
Their “ordeal” is, that they may not speak to their perfect woman. Only the prince completes this, but then both get their perfect woman. I don’t really get it.
Then they marry, and over.

So, what did we learn? If you want to get the perfect girl, you have to be able to keep quiet. (Or not, you get her anyway(?).)
Nah, I don’t really understand what I should take away from this Opera.

All in all, it wasn’t bad though. The play went on for about 2.5-2.75 hours, but it didn’t feel that long. And they said, that they kept the set simple, but it didn’t really look that simple to me.

Sometimes though, I thought, it’d be nice, if I (still) had a girlfriend, to take her with me to such “events”.

The Love Hypothesis

For the last few days, I’m kinda forming a new theory in my head. That is, that one of the thriving factors of us is love. And that this is even the most important one.

Example (1): A few days ago, I said, that love means “to take care of”. Now, take elder people and their garden. This is something to take care of (since if you don’t it dies) so it’s to express / have / live out their love.

Or another example (2): Men (or at least me) love women, means (in a way) to protect her. So, take care of her.

Good / Positive aspect: If you love something, you take care of it -> make it thrive.
For example (1).

Evil / negative aspect: Only love yourself. -> egotistical -> doing things only for yourself.
For example: People, that are too greedy care too much about themselves -> this is what makes them “evil” / bad. (They have love only (mostly) for themselves.)

Things to still think about: Love languages, other classic good/bad aspects, and how they can (or cannot) be explained through love.

It’s already late, so I’m gonna continue this “Love Hypothesis” some time in the future, since now I’m going to bed! I’ll see you tomorrow. Take care & Bye-Bye!

Check-List Time
