The Mirror Has Two Faces


lt's like going to the movies and seeing the lovers on the screen kiss ...
The music swells, and we buy it, right? So when my date takes me home and kisses me goodnight, and l don't hear the philharmonie in my head, l dump him. Write?!
The question is, why do we buy it? We buy it because, myth or manipulation, let´s face it we all want to fall in love.
That experience makes us feel completely alive. Our everyday reality is shattered, and we are flung into the heavens. lt may only last a moment, an hour, an afternoon but that doesn't diminish its value because we're left with memories we treasure for the rest of our lives.
l read, an article while ago that says ''When we fall in love, we hear Puccini in our heads''. l love that. Maybe its beacause his music expresses our need for passion and romantic love. We listen to La Bóheme or Turandot, or read Wuthering Heights, or watch Casablanca, a little bit of that love lives in us too.
So the final question is: Why do people want to fall in love - when it can have such a short run and be devastating painful?

- Propagation of the species? - We need to connect with somebody.
- Are we culturally preconditioned? -

Good ansewers, but too much intellectual for me.
l think it's because, as some of you may already know ...
While it does last, it feels fucking great!! That's why.
