Chatting with him brought back flood of memories of the distant past... of my own adventures and misadventures. Many, including yours truly are suckers for love stories or love stories gone awry. R's personal tales were lessons in love. It still amazes me how some people could mouth the 3 forbidden words so hastily. As I told R, loneliness can drive people to say or do things they don't mean. We are emotional creatures, and loving words or deeds can move us. But do these things really hold water? Quite often, the very same words and deeds do not stand the test of time. Guess that's why people flit from relationship to relationship, forever seeking for that elusive 'right person' to call their own. But alas, the mess they left behind in the process... shattered dreams, scarred hearts, disillusioned souls... Is the pain worth it all? I've seen my own pain reflected in the eyes of so many. After the fun, the loneliness lingers... Still we seek out no-strings attached liaisons perhaps partly to numb the pain and partly secretly bearing hope that the next one will be the right one. Sadly, many mistake lust for love. They will just about anything to eradicate the pangs of loneliness.
The world is full of lonely souls. Oh Lord, let there be one less every single day please...
