On love - not cheesy - realistic :)

I believe this is worth sharing. Every time I read this, I think: yes, this is how I think love should be. In any form of relationship or form of love, this piece of text says it so beautiful. It doesn't mean when people love eachother they shouldn't be one, in some way whe should be one, but still be having that space. Space that is important in every phase of our life. Enjoy :)

“Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.”

― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

Celebrities

It always seems that celebrities divorce or break up, why? Perpaps not only celebrities. Succesful, busy, (business) people also. Or is it media focusing too much on them? Do busy and succesful people expect something else from their relationships than the "common people"? And if they are not breaking up then they make the news with "cheating" on their spouse/partner...

And the whole world enjoys - yuck!
