yes, but damyanti, why is it that in your lovely theory you assume that what you call true love [even though you don't believe in it, i get that] doesn't involve betrayal, or anger, or quarrells? I don't know, if you want to see this notion of love as something utopic and fairy-tale like, then, sure, i don't believe it exists anywhere in the world right now. But i wouldn't go as far as saying that love, despite its shortcomings and drawbacks exists. [the image that always comes to my head when talking about this stuff is an adorable couple i met in the train once, they were feeding each other grapes and giggling like schoolchildren. they had been together for about 50 years, FIFTY EFFING YEARS and their faces were still glowing in each other's presence]
I don't want to try to persuade you that love exists--frankly, even if i tried it apparently would not make a difference--but, just a little note in case you feel like keeping it in mind: no matter how good a knowledge one has of the language and what exactly each word means, there's also the tone in which one writes--and, heck, even i felt a bit angry at your tone. But i'm sure a cup of tea is exactly what i'm missing..
