    Truth is of its own virtue and reward; it grants one beauty beyond the vanity of a beautiful face; being honest and genuine are the labors of a noble spirit- no matter how rich, kind, or pretty someone may appear- a liar can seem eloquent or presentable just the same.

    Moral: relationships aren't built on lies, but on trust- if one person considers outward appearances to be a must, then should look elsewhere - not to subject the person in front of them to their meager vices; we all want something in this life, doesn't mean we should have it. I want a better article than the item I currently have ( a laptop, video game, etc.) And yet, that is the premise for materialism- it leaves the heart in a frenzy for desire and not the person; therefore, this is a question I would like to engage: why? Why resort to that which we are not able to have or be ourselves? We implicate another into our unfair caprice? George was examining the same thought process with a tactical mind: if a man or woman cannot appreciate their love interest, why love at all? Love is about caring and not producing results. We are not programmed to love, are we? We are not this preconceived notion of computation- that our thoughts have to be summed up as wired circuitry, nothing more- and to trigger certain emotions- all we need to do is say the right thing at the right time. It doesn't matter if someone isn't the most graceful, lovely, maybe kind in a manner that is understandable - being honest is better than lying.

    Sigh, I'm in love with these words. I just want to be held tight while the blood in my heart listens to its lullaby

      Joaquim Dantas Thank you for your kind words. I've been missing you too. The typeface is Monotype Corsiva, I use it for stuff from Shakespearian times.
