“Is a just and true life — one stirred by love and escorted by experience?
Neither a love devoid of experience, but a realization of love and experience — can it help to produce a virtuous existence?”
To know love – do we have to jump all in – swimming valiantly?
Thrashing feverishly around within its deep, mysterious pools of emotions?
To really feel the ecstasy, the highs, and lows?
Do we have to go up above and below?
Does the emotional roller coaster of a sublime bliss—catch you within its first soft, sensuous kiss?
Can the suddenly harsh voice of its sudden disdain, sometimes enduring such immeasurable pain — stop you from ever chasing it again?
What is a life without trying it?
Do you turn into the French Inquisition, and see transgressions everywhere,
So you don't get burnt?
Has love burnt a hole in your side?
A few I have known weep from its soft velvety touch, and only having enduring its rollercoaster once, seek it no more.
Do they not know — climbing back on board with a new passenger: might be the answer?
Love is the most complex enigma we will ever know in life, and as the saying goes, fall down seven times, stand up eight!
The average woman will kiss 15 men, enjoy two long-term relationships, and have her heartbroken twice before she meets, “The One”, a study reveals.
Researchers found she will also suffer four disaster dates, and be stood up once, before she finally settles down with the man of her dreams.
Men, on the other hand, face being stood up twice, and will have six one-night stands before they meet their ideal partner.
This figure could be coming down, though, because a separate study suggests that men are becoming less afraid of commitment.
The average young man is ready for a committed relationship from the age of 22, two years younger than ten years ago.
Have you fallen down seven
But still get up eight?
