Have to, Want to

Every relationship depends on “have to” and “want to.”

Inevitably, particularly in long-term relationships, the “want to” wanes, leaving the “have to.”

“Have to” can sustain the relationship until, hopefully, the “want to” returns.

If there is no “have to” then the relationship depends solely on “want to.”

If there is no “want to” and no “have to” the relationship is starved to death for raison d’être – reason for being.

And yet…

Maybe for a lucky or unlucky, blessed or cursed, fateful or providential few, there is a “have to” that transcends normal every day “have to.” That overwhelms any kind of “want to.”

Covalent bonds between two spirits where there is no “want to” or “have to” – its just as the universe has been designed. A relationship God has deigned, “Must Be.”

God designed the Cosmos in a particular way, and the Cosmos ensures the “Must Be” regardless of any earthly factors. Of personality. Of politics. Of subjectivity.

The “Must Be” relationship.

If there is Fate and Providence, the Cosmos doesnt care.

Fate may try to drag the two apart, Providence does her best to keep the relationship together.

The Cosmos does not care. There are relationships that “Must Be” and they will be.

Chaos? Thats fine; the relationship “Must Be”

Death? Wealth? Consequence? Love? Hate? Distraction? Circumstance? Distance?

None of those matter to the Cosmos. Some relationships “Must Be” – it is the design of things.
