The question is asked, "Is there anything more beautiful in life than a boy and a g1rl clasping clean hands and pure hearts in the path of marriage? Can there be anything more beautiful than young love?"

And the answer is give. "yes, there is a more beautiful thing. It is the spectacle of an old man and an old woman finishing their journey together on that path. Their hands are gnarled, but still clasped; their faces are seamed, but still radiant; their hearts are physically bowed and tired, but still strong with love and devotion for one another. Yes, there a more beautiful thing than young love. Old love."

You know this is what this thread started out as...

Isn't it really sad that a discussion of something beautiful had to change into a discussion of war? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />



hmmm the more i think about it, the more i see it as a natural progression; along the lines of "how can there be light with no darkness to define it".

On the other hand, I would really like to see the original topic discussed further as well (perhaps as a new topic post?). There just isn't enough love to counter the darkness it seems to me sometimes. We could all agree to keep it on that topic, and not let it drift too far.


SPOOOOON!!!
