"In order to love a living person well, one must love him as if he
were to die tomorrow."
Certainly brings food for thought, doesn't it?
At first, i was skeptical. But think about it.
If you knew a loved one was going to die the next day, you would be so accomodating, and loving, giving in to his wishes, fufilling his needs, as it would be his last day on earth.
if you could keep it up, you and your certain someone would be very happy indeed.
however, you have to keep telling yourself:"She/He's gonna die tomorrow."
kinda takes all romantic notions away, yes?
well, it doesn't hurt to try it out once in a while. =)
