I was born with a mental handicap.
To me it was just finding someone who said that they wanted to have and raise a family as best as they could.

I never believed that I had the mental ability to judge a persons future performance in the accomplishment of the task of marriage. The whole idea of being that cocky was and is somehow repulsive to me. And so I choose to live in the present, and let them be and become what they will. To learn them as they are. One has to have a persistent belief that people learn and grow. A persistent belief in the validity of marriage.
Hard way to go, but I still believe in it.

I always believed that love was something you built, that love was all the things two people did together to sustain and promote life.
Falling into love, well, I noticed at a very early age that emotion comes and goes. If love were immortal, than emotion was a fools game. Anything of value is built by shear force of will and understanding.
Heart, is a very old parableâconstructed before man knew why.
What the heart takes in, is identical to what is inside, is identical to what it puts out, only force is added.
Perception determines conception conception determines will. And so the heart is a perfect metaphor for a functioning mind.
