Last night while having dinner with friends, the topic strayed to love. Which we figured was strange since most of us there felt that we had little experience on love. I cannot fully remember the discussion but these themes are still floating in my head: love eventually being selfish, why romantic love often outweighs friendship, and reconciling the ideal (which we fall in love with) and reality (which makes us fall out of love sometimes). Maybe, sometime, I'll feel brave enough to delve into this again :) To cap the evening, this message was sent to me:
"We know, for example, where the other's vulnerable heart is situated; and we do not touch it; we leave it intact. This is love."
