that he can be sure of loving Helena
Many people think they are so alike you cannot tell them apart, but there is a difference. Without the assistance of the love flower, Lysander is a true lover, and a very considerate one. He does not take advantage of Hermia when they are alone in the woods. He is prepared to sacrifice his life in Athens to exile himself with Hermia. Demetrius is more changeable. He has dumped Helena so as to have a chance with Hermia, even though he knows Hermia does not love him. He is quite happy to go along with Egeus's plan to force Hermia into marrying him. He threatens to rape Helena when they are alone in the woods, and only desists when she says that it won't be rape because she will be consenting. During the Pyramus and Thisbe play, poor Starveling gets heckled right out of his text by guess who? Demetrius, aided and abetted by Theseus. All Starveling had to say was "horned moon" and away Demetrius went with the dirty joke. Lysander does not take part in the heckling and encourages Starveling, saying "Proceed, moon". Lysander is much kinder; Demetrius is rather mean. Indeed it appears that Shakespeare, in drawing the characters of Demetrius and Helena, was portraying an abusive relationship. Helena is a person of low self-esteem ("I am as ugly as a bear") who feels that she deserves, unworthy as she is, to be mistreated by her lover ("I am your spaniel.") Demetrius is unfortunately one of those weak and cruel men who is happy to oblige.

Hermia calls Helena a "juggler" in A Midsummer Night's Dream, but she doesn't mean someone who can keep three knives in the air at once. A clue to the meaning is in Laertes's line in Hamlet: "How came he dead? I'll not be juggled with." Clearly Laertes means "I won't be put off by any fancy talk." A juggler is like a politician, a person who uses words in a slippery way to avoid answering things. Hermia accuses Helena of talking out of both sides of her mouth, saying she's a friend while all the while she was trying to get her hands on Lysander.
They were saying "Iwonder if anyone's going to wonder what we were saying today 42 years from now"
Helena says this in Midsummer Night's Dream, in her first appearance when she is bemoaning the fact that Demetrius, for some reason, prefers Hermia to her."Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind;And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind:Nor hath Love's mind of any judgement taste;Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste:And therefore is Love said to be a child,Because in choice he is so oft beguiled."She is talking about Cupid, the near-naked chubby little boy with wings on his back and a bow and arrow that we used to see on Valentine Cards when they were actually sent between adults. She says that he is "painted blind", that he is shown in paintings as being blindfolded so he cannot see--compare the old saying "love is blind." Then in one line there are two difficult words.One is "figure". As a noun, we know this word. It means shape: "she's got a great figure". But here Shakespeare is using it as a verb, meaning to draw, to make a picture of, to show the shape of. You can see how it's related to the woman with the great figure.The other is "unheedy" which comes from the verb "to heed" meaning to pay attention to. Being "heedy" would be someone who pays attention, so clearly someone is "unheedy" when they do not.Helena is drawing a comparison between "no eyes", meaning you cannot see, and "unheedy" or not paying attention. If you are not paying attention, you may as well be blind. She is also drawing a comparison between having wings and "haste", going fast. So if you wanted a picture which summed up the idea of going fast without paying attention, then someone like Cupid with wings and no eyes makes a good image. This is what she is saying.
Demetrius and Lysander both love Hermia. Helena loves Demetrius. Helena tells Demetrius about Hermia leaving with Lysander because she thinks it'll make him love her instead of the woman that ran away with another man.

He doesn't. Shakespeare did not portray "his feelings" about love or much else in his plays. When Puck says, "What fools these mortals be!" that is what Puck thinks, not Shakespeare. When Lysander says, "The course of true love never did run smooth" that is what Lysander thinks, and he is saying it to cheer up Hermia who he loves. It has nothing to do with Shakespeare's feelings. Helena says, "Use me but as your spaniel, spurn me, strike me, neglect me, lose me; only give me leave, unworthy as I am, to follow you." Helena has extremely low self-esteem ("unworthy as I am") which causes her to invite Demetrius to abuse her. Does this say anything about Shakespeare's feelings about love? Of course not! It is about Helena's character; you could not imagine Hermia saying this line, or Oberon.
By saying you can and will attend or offering apologies if you cannot.
I cannot understand what you are saying
The saying "you can't bottle the wind" means that some things are impossible or cannot be contained or controlled. It suggests that there are aspects of life that are elusive and cannot be captured or harnessed.
I can write B A T M A N, but you cannot hear me saying the word. I am saying it right now.
A fly.
Pigs cannot fly... Hence the saying "when pigs fly".

blabber about things to your self or just keep saying why
Suggesting that you cannot know anything is saying that you know something(that you know that you know nothing). Lets call it a draw.
