"On Love" by Kahlil Gibran. It interest me to see how Love, the ever-so-difficult-to understand concept could be personified so beautifully
I find myself taking things a bit too seriously. Taking the people around me too seriously. Attach too much value to everything said and done.
People nowadays no longer want to hear the truth or heartfelt words, or need to see what is real, or the genuine side of things. That's passe, no longer in fashion, and it doesn't get you anywhere. People want to hear words pleasant to the ears, what they want to hear, that are light, not too heavy, that need not be so serious, for the fun of it, no need to be of substance, can be superficial, not to be taken seriously, of entertainment value, spontaneous, that show your reaction, say-it-here-and-forget about-it-here type.
