Rival, Enemy, Friend

Human is a creature made with heart. by the heart, she/he can feel anything to anything and anyone. one feeling I notice here is hatred. we used to hate some people by some reasons. maybe they don't speak politely, maybe they're liars, maybe they whine too much, maybe they act real bad and hurt people we love, and still there are many reasons of hatred.

one reason I notice about this hatred is: because they do what we do, they love what we love, they can even do it better so that they conquer us.

yeah, we used to hate people because they have the same interest with us. and we'll hate them more when they take away something/someone we love, leave us alone with an unrequited feeling. we'll hate them more when they do things we do in some better ways. we'll hate them more when they feel what we feel in some more sincere ways.

in such condition, we might say that: "how come they get it? I am the one who deserves it more! they are not even qualified enough to have it!" but in the end we know we have to take things sincerely, and tell ourselves that 'something/someone' we love before might not be the best for us. might not be what we need, so that we didn't have it.

and then time goes by. things change. there comes a condition where our rival has lost that precious thing they had taken from us long ago. we might be surprised, or whatever, but eventually we will open the gate. we will throw away whatever distance between us and our rival. we will start talking to them, no matter how awkward it is. then we found out...we and our rival have lots of similarity. which had made us love and do the same thing in the old times.

we and our (ex) rival might spend some times together, talking, sharing about many things. maybe not about our competition in the past, but anything worth a lot more than that. even if it's about our competition, we'll just laugh about it, remind each other of how stupid we were, how silly things have been all the time.

the more we share, the more we might discover...that we and our rival are understanding each other so very well.

that is why, I think the statement on my favorite manga, Glass no Kamen, was right. it was said there that: my one and only rival is the one and only closest person to my heart.

really, I think it's truly true.
