Oh What pleasures we forsake for lack of truly trying to know each other. What emptiness we undertake for caring first only about ourselves. How terrible the noise of life we hear that begs us to ignore even the quiet and comfort of each others souls. Oh what love we lose in our quest to explore the idea that our selfishness might keep us whole. copyright 2006 Pierre Ortega ��

Unselfish love magnifies love. I agree with you Pierre. Your words laced with wisdom is the example of how the ultimate high can manifest when everything blends in harmony. Good marriage.
