2Pac's Do For Love

Today class we will discuss love and it always without exception comes in a two-pack form.  Now scratch that, Jimmy Hendrix told us love can come in a form of a guitar, so perhaps the loneliest number is not one, after all.  But that means we've now applied the filter of sex upon life as for that greatest experience one needs another one and an equal sign and a plus and so we have two.  About this aspect is what this little beat of heart is all about.  And I will use the song Do For Love by 2Pac as an example.  For two reasons.  First, I never met 2Pac and while being a musician that is important.  I do not run in the circles of music business nor am I privy to have even had a single date with a woman by my fortieth (40) birthday as it seems I was born disabled (low vision) so I have a different view on life from the rest of you.  And second, I have been in a relationship with a woman who seems to have treated me identically to what 2Pac describes.  Now this second fact might conflict with me never having dated.  That woman I was with because she said she was a victim of abuse and I dated her exclusively to give her time with someone, namely myself, whom could never harm her ever, and I never did harm her, and from the sounds of it she has moved on and has never been harmed since.  So some say that is dating, but as it was not a woman I chose but one whom I was rescuing, therefore my free will was not a component in our relationship - it was a love forced upon me by the reported cruelty of another man.  Had she not cried all over the web of being beaten I never would have even shown any interest in her.  Dating to me, is when those involved willingly are participating, when their minds aren't altered nor are they pushed nor influenced nor physically coerced.  Even though I am forty I have never had such a relationship.  I have only dated women who cried of being victims of abuse and never has a woman shown interest in me and offered her phone number nor hung out with me and took interest in my hobbies, let alone played ball with me or a game of chess.  So while I am obviously no expert on women, I also am, as I know what a woman does not want, ever, in her whole life.  And that my dear fellows, is more than any of you will ever grasp.  For I am a high school drop out who mastered what you all can only dream of and had the money and means to be what none of you can ever hope to achieve.  And yet no woman ever desired me.  Ever.  But let's move onto 2Pac's Do For Love.  Because unliek you all, I'm not willing to even lift a finger for love.  Some of you may think that this is the reason no woman dated me.  One must work hard for love.  But this is now getting into my song analysis.
