I see you?

[Mune]

Lol, a paragraph I made about 'Oel ngati kameie'.

'Oel ngati kameie' is a phrase used by the Na'Vi - Translated loosely, it means "I See you." The phrase
is only used correctly when it the context of [unexplainably profound] understanding. So deep that
I cannot describe it with words from the English language. The term is used as a greeting message
by many families to address eachother's presence in the film. 'Oel ngati kameie' can also be shown
through a hand gesture, which is shown in the film at several points. The term is not abuseable,
namely because of it's nature. Typically, when 'Oel ngati kameie' is compared with the human 'I love
you'. The human version loses any potential meaning. It seems somewhat that the term 'I love you'
is thrown around a ridiculous amount in modern society, and so has lost a lot of it's meaning. With
teenagers confusing physical attraction with love, they've said it carelessly. What also astounds
yours truly about the Na'Vi term is that it has no gender, or particular level of social status attached
to it... A male is able to say 'Oel ngati kameie' to another male, without being labelled 'homosexual',
or any other term by society. (This maybe because they have no idea what it means ) - But 'Oel ngati
kameie' transcends far beyond 'understanding' into a level that for me, personally, is not even ackno-
wledgeable in the slightest. I've said 'Oel ngati kameie' to very few people. And all of them were within
or part of the 'Avatar Forums' or 'Tree of Souls' community. It seems no-one near me interprets the film
in such a way that they can understand the film, let alone the beautiful language that Paul Frommer
has given us, and ofcourse the life-changing message that came with it. 'Oel ngati kameie' represents
a level of 'seeing directly into a life-forms soul', in such a way that you can understand their reasoning
behind everything that they do, and regardless of your opinion on the way that they handle it, you will
still continue to understand why they did what they felt needed to be done. This is why in a future
relationship, should I actually find a girl near me that I consider to feel the same way as I do about
this life. I will be able to use 'I See you' as oppose to 'I Love you'. However not before they have my
100% trust. 'Oel ngati kameie' portrays a level of devotion that is strictly not understandable to anyone
who does not See the world for what it really is- Because in the end, all that we have is eachother.
No level of Scientific Research, or Religious Movement is going to change that fact. 'Oel ngati kameie'
is acknowledging the above fact, and almost thanking the person for being on the same priority of
mind-set as you. You see, my dear reader, the problem with current humanity is that we over-look
the fact that marriage is nothing more than a physical ceremony. Man's attempt to give physical proof
to others that 'these two people are now together'. While as 'Oel ngati kameie' bypasses that idea
altogether. In my.. Very bias and probably very deluded opinion. Marriage shouldn't even exist - It's
just another pathetic attempt by man to try and make a physical pact. It's almost like Valentines day.
Why show that you're together on one specific day, should the amount of time you spend defending
eachother not over-rule any ceremony.... Where you're technically not doing anything for eachother
at all. It's almost sad to think that the human race sticks by old principles in this case. We need to
accept that words cannot portray everything. Certain members of the human race are at this level
of realisation. Because of the fact that Na'Vi is not a written language. 'Oel ngati kameie''s original
creation must of been based purely upon a sound, that meant complete understanding of the situation
at hand... Like many other phrases of the Na'Vi language... 'Oel ngati kameie' simply cannot be
described with words... That night under the stars with your soul-mate, where she's using your arm
as a pillow, and snuggling up to you. Your body warm keeping eachother snug. And from her voice-
box, the most meaningful words in reality grace your ear. 'I See you'. You then my friend, are one of
the few beings within Lightyears, that's felt true love within your soul.

Another thing avatar taught me is to truly mean what i say (don't ask me how haha i have a reason just can't think of it at the moment...) but if someone here says something that truly relates to me or i completely understand them i use it... Plus also the na'vi use it as a greeting, but since they live in clans, they know everyone else very well

I have the exact same principle. I never wanted marriage for different reasons, but marriage really is a loose term and can be seen more of as a joke. The rest of your paragraph is some that is relatable, truthful, and touching to me. It's kind of hard to find them people, guy or girl alike...
