Forever

The word 'forever' is often perceived as meaningless and the biggest crap (scooby's crap is even bigger :p) by those who had .. ahemm .. failed on their relationship when their partners used to tell them that they love them forever.

Forever, etymologically comes from for and ever, in its original sense of always. Ever means always and for doesn't mean eternity. For is just a situation in special condition that that when the condition is met he/she will always (verb = love, run, etc..) aka forever. Just like in simple programming practice, a for loop must have special conditions met in order for the loop to go on indefinitely.

for (mishan = alive&healthy , mishan =! working)
{
do running();
}
;

For instance, when your boyfriend tells you that he will love you forever, he means that he will always love you when those special conditions 'for' are met (conditions like you're pretty, he can't find someone else prettier etc etc....) and we always take the word forever for granted.

Forever is not a meaningless word. It's a way to declare your passion on doing something with certain conditions. Different people has different definition of forever as everyone will set different conditions on it. For me, when I said I'll run with you forever, I'll set the least condition to sattisfy the function (do running() ; do is operator and running() is a function in programming).

And when I said forever, I meant it. So lets look forward for some running next time :)
