Today's A brighter Day.

With regards to matters of the heart, I guess you’ll only go as far as someone allows you to go. 2 hands to clap. Matters of the heart, yes, an ancient disease, where modern philosophies have changed certain aspects of the game. Love the woman you marry, or marry the woman you love? Some would of course, be able to do both or at least want to.

But I don’t think there is justice when it involves the heart. Your devotion and patience, your efforts, may not even be appreciated. No matter what you do, you MAY NOT even come close. Hey, everyone gets to pick and choose, some more than others. Minus the ones who have dedicated their life to single hood, or have greater callings, the rest of the gang would actually be facing such adversities, and there is nothing they can do, but try.

Here comes the next big thing. Courage. Courage is not the absence of fear, but the ability to overcome fear. And it takes courage to actually face rejection in the face, or the prospect of rejection. Courtship is definitely an old tradition, and an instinct in many ways. Some are longer, some are shorter, some end happy, some end sad, and some never ends, and some are given up. Here’s cheers to all those who have actually decided to make the 1st move. Kudos to You! Of course, you’ll have to meet someone 1st.

I don’t think I am actually in a position to comment on such matters myself, but just giving my few cents worth. We may wait our entire life just to meet that special someone. Sometimes, some are luckier than others and sometimes, they don’t appear…but an experience in the past has taught me that, regardless of the timing, once you have met that one person you know, you simply know, that everything’s right, that she’s the one, then this is the time you must not give her up. (I have been fortunate enough to be given a second chance, so we’ll have to see where it goes from here...) But definitely, it takes 2 hands to clap.

A little insanity would help along the way I guess. The crazy things that we do when we are in love…And, that’s the magic of it all….how she’s engraved in your mind…how she changes your soul, how she makes you see the world…all of a sudden, everything seems so clear…the air’s fresher, the skies are bluer…and you are truer to yourself than at any other times. It’s really a blessing.

And yeah…I’m in love.

Hi there Marcus,

It's good to know you're in love. Love's a complicated thing. But when we are in love, it is sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, and divine... there are often trials in love, and many of them, especially during what you refer to as the 'courtship' days.. but, as u yourself so succiently put it - courage, is required. Courage to overcome the fear of trials.

I wish u the greatest success with your love, whoever she may be, and the greatest success in love. I'm sure that given your courage, it wouldn't just be the both of u clapping at the end, but a whole banquet, clapping in celebration of your love.

All the best.
