Love is a 24 hour decision

"Please block your diary to attend our wedding in November," Catherine said over the loh hei.

As a society we are incurable romantics. We fall in love and get married. Sometimes people make the mistake of thinking they're in love when more realistically they're just "in heat."

We live in an incredible, unbelievable world of science and technology. It seems that with all our scientific skill and technology we could solve any problem, except the problem of human relationships like marriage and the family.

Maybe this quotation from Camus provides and inkling:

Don't walk in front of me
I may not follow
Don't walk behind me
I may not lead.
Walk beside me
and just be my friend.
