The paradox of love

"My wife will visit me over weekends," Pali jested at lunch in pasir Gudang. "She is a weekend wife."

For me, love means a concern for, an acceptance of, and an interest in the one whom I am trying to love. Love is indeed demanding., but it is not unrewarding.

So often I see or hear a friend demanding someone to love him without being to make the sacrifice himself. The moment we ask that question: "what have you done for me?" we have ceased to love.
