LOVE

Have a gathering with my friends whom I should be thankful for they are always willing to share their thoughts with me.
I am quiet for most part of the conservation, but that does not mean that I am not attentive. I am an impatient person, but slow in responding to conservation. I am not eager to speak (and even answer to questions put to me), but I keep listening and thinking during my way to home.
I am very impressed by the conservation.
My friend tells me that he hopes his wife will die before him.
"Huh," I am thinking, "You should not want to be separated from your wife for even one single minute if you really love her."
And he tells me that his wife will be collapsed if she lives alone.
"Living alone is painful," my friend says, " I just hope my wife will die before me. So I will be the one suffering, not her."
This is striking to me.
LOVE also means suffering and pain.
Such message is presented in books or seminars hosted by respected community and religious leaders. But this is my first time hearing and seeing a real case.
I need to grow up.
