obviously

obviously, what carmex highlights here* is true - and it doesn't take great scientific studies to understand that, for it's so obvious. a love relationship doesn't survive out of air. one might fall in love and do not understand why that happens (why do we love x and not y?). but once a relationship between two people starts, it takes more than love for it to endure. yes, love is the spark. but it's hardly enough. a relationship requires nurturing, patience, dedication, understanding, sacrifice - all this from both parts, in the most even way possible.

of course, professional careers are very important. they've always been, i dare say. but to be quite honest, i don't see what's the point in being sucessful if you have no one at your side with whom you can share your sucess. and don't come and tell me that you can share it with your friends, because you can't. you can celebrate with them, buy them a round of beers in a pub friday night. but your personal success, your personal fulfillment, will only be shared with the one you love. without it, it's pointless.

*by the way, why isn't this blog on the link bar?
