Man is the hunter-gatherer, even in love. We ‘hunt’ for partners and gather what we sow…
Snared you, I have with love as porous as my net of imperfections. Within seven years or less I shall harvest bountiful discord.

I did my national service in the special constabulary and harboured dreams of chasing down criminals. Instead, spent most evenings attending to domestic violence cases. How vicious people treated their loved ones – both men and women > what an eye-opener…

Dear Christy,
It is not for me to say 🙂 It all depends on what you see in the mirror. In this case, these words have more facets than a brilliant round, I reckon.

Many people don’t fell in love, they fell into traps set by their pursuers or worse, by their delusions.
Stripped of everything, if some people took a hard look at what made them say “Yes”….
