love show

it's painless
letting your love show.

maybe, but not always.
how do i know if it is painless in this case?

from a hopeless romantic

Wondering why men need some reason to be romantic.
Maybe it is just how it is meant to be.

Someone has to have the guts and creativity to surprise me :)

The sourse of dissatisfaction

When I was at school they used to tell us that Romantic poets were characterized by constant lack of satisfaction. Always searching, asking, craving. The battle has always been more important than the victory. The road- always more pleasurable than the destination.
Is there satisfaction for a soul that wants to live a thousand lives? To be at thousand places at a time? To experience thousand loves, pains, triumphs, disappointments?
Is it a sin to want it all?
And if so - what is the punishment?

Fire

Just finished watching Deepa Mehta's "Fire".
True, painful and beautiful movie.
There is one line that Radha says when parting with her husband...
There is no life without desire.

To what extent should we control our desires, if burying them means trying to lie to ourselves?
Is it better to live with a heavy heart or with a broken heart?
What is more important - desire or devotion?
Is desire justified by love?

I want to believe I have my answers to some of these questions...

On books...

If you could give one book as a present to a close friend... what would it be?
And why?
