WANTED

Some days ago I was listening on the radio a conversation in which men and women were saying that nowadays is getting a little bit difficult to find a partner; the participants were saying that it could be due to changes on people’s priorities ’cause during a long period most of the people are focus on studying, on having a good job, on making money, on travelling, on having fun and on keeping their independency.

Nobody disagree with the fact that all those things are really good to look for, and someone said that precisely those facts make us become more selective therefore is difficult to find a person who fulfils all the characteristics we are looking for.

What do you think about it?

EXTRACT

Making love with a woman and sleeping with a woman are two separate passions, not merely different but opposite. Love does not make itself felt in the desire for copulation (a desire that extends to an infinite num­ber of women) but in the desire for shared sleep (a desire limit­ed to one woman).


We can never establish with certainty what part of our relations with others is the result of our emotions—love, antipathy, char­ity, or malice—and what part is predetermined by the constant power play among individuals.
