Just like the first great boyfriend who shows us what we have missed on other dates, or the first great girlfriend who lets you feel love instead of confusion, so can the politician who acts on vision and keeps his promise change our perception of what is benign and what is harm.

The Law Of Consequences
One of the ugliest features in a culture is the demand for respect when no respect is given and no intention exists to give it, ever. In such an environment, respect can not establish itself. Beyond a thin veneer of behaviours that resemble respect and hide fear, there is nothing. One of the most beautifulContinue reading “The Law Of Consequences”
Actions Speak Louder than Words
I have finally understood why men are so eager to convince women of their qualities as a partner.

And here is something revealing: a person who is out to harm you or who doesn’t care whether you are well or not can not instill appreciation in you. Therefore, appreciation — more than desire, hormonal excitement,Continue reading “It’s Appreciation! The Key!”
Animal Being, In Romance
Have you ever noticed that the courtship between animals is a lot more stylish than ours? A display of abilities that are cool and fun – flying, dancing, singing, home building.
