I firmly believe love can't be understood till you experience betrayal or separation or death or rejection. Just the way happiness can't teach you helplessness or acceptance, in the way fulfilling love can't teach you the intensity of impassionate love. So, I guess one should follow his heart when one is younger. Be a little implusive and I bet you won't regret it.

I remember reading in The Chronicle of Death Foretold that women can learn to love after they get married . . . those were the typical views of older generation that women could be taught anything, from domestic chores to servitude to love . . . it's facinating as well as unsettling to take a peep into the minds of women of the past . . .their incurious personalities say a lot about the stuff women are made of.
