Cleaning out...

Love quote of the day:

He is not a lover who does not love forever
-- Euripides

I've been cleaning out some 'old stuff' I've had hanging around for a year or so now.

Once upon a time ago, I'd high, maybe even 'forever' hopes for it.

But.

You know what they say about time - it tells!
And shit smells -
and that's a fact, Jack.

I think old Euripides is spot on with his time table - one sure fire way to separate out the pure heart from the pretender izzant it?

Did it? Will it? Does it - stand the test of time?

dont agree with this greek
forever is a time that has no measure for humans

even in marriage u cant and shudnt promise eternal love

u change
he/she changes

just cherish the moment
the fact that this moment will not last forever dont make this love any less

forever is a romantic dream
and dreams die

yes. expecting that things are forever is a pretty high expectation. Especially ~love~. however, compassion is pretty steadfast (from my experience) and is somewhat more enduring and less traumatic to the ego :)

1 Corinthians 12:31

... covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
