Poison for the Heart

 

 

Love • What is Love?  6 / 20

I particularly challenge a man's motive for falling in love. What is his purpose? What does he hope to gain? The answer is too crude to bear a mention. Furthermore, I question the dignity of winning a woman's affection. And still more, how dignified is it to lose your temper with, or argue with a woman? (which surely is a measure of love). For a woman, like a child, has only the shallowest and most insubstantial of thoughts. If you were to try to paddle your feet in her oceans, you wouldn't even get your feet wet. How can one honestly expect her to be rational, consistent, and just? It is the man who falls short, with his unrealistic expectations of woman. To expect a woman to be a woman, and yet to think as a man, is to be a woman, and is far indeed from dignity. How much less dignified it is to actually love a woman!
