It's unrealistic to live your life within such strict parameters.
Live Your Life Parameters Strict
Politicians will promise some pretty ridiculous things. they will promise a chicken in every pot. they'll promise that they'll keep social security solvent. they'll promise drugs for old people. they'll promise lots of stuff. but it doesn't come near the kind of promises that religion makes. the mormons promise that if you're good while you're on earth, you get to rule over your own planet in the afterlife. now, there's an entitlement that goes a little bit beyond prescription drugs for old people.

You can't kill love. you can't even kill it with hate. you can kill in-love, and loving, and even loveliness. you can kill them all, or numb them into dense, leaden regret, but you can't kill love itself. love is the passionate search for a truth other than your own; and once you feel it, honestly and completely, love is forever. every act of love, every moment of the heart reaching out, is a part of the universal good: it's a part of god, or what we call god, and it can never die.

I told him the truth, that i loved him and didn't regret anything about our lives together. but do we ever 'tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me god' as my father used to say, to those we love? or even to ourselves? don't even the best and most fortunate of lives hint at other possibilities, at a different kind of sweetness and, yes, bitterness too? isn't this why we can't help feeling cheated, even when we know we haven't been?
