The Act Is Unjustifiable That Either Begs

Love Is Short, Forgetting Is Long, And Understanding Longer Still.

The Dream Of Romantic Love Is Taken More Seriously In North America Than It Is Anywhere Else In The World, Which Is Why We Believe In Fidelity And Why We Believe In Infidelity As Well. It Is Also, Of Course, What Makes Our Divorce Rate As High As It Is. Falling In Love At First Sight And Instant Gratification Are Part Of The World In Which We Live, So There Are People Who Believe Adamantly In Fidelity. They Just Don't Believe In It For Long.

It Takes A Lot Of Mulch, Love Does, To Create A Froth.

The Romantic Myth Is So Strong That It Survives The Wear And Tear Of Marriage By Simply Detaching From It And Floating Up On Ahead, And Women Who Are Rather Fond Of The Men They Married, As Well As Ones Who Are Not, Go Through Life With A Bag Packed For The Day When The Shining Knight On A White Charger Arrives, Just In Case He Does.

The Conflict Between What One Is And Who One Is Expected To Be Touches All Of Us. And Sometimes, Rather Than Reach For What One Could Be, We Choose The Comfort Of The Failed Role, Preferring To Be The Victim Of Circumstance, The Person Who Didn't Have A Chance.
