When Desire Is Still In This Pure State, The Man And The Woman Fall In Love With Life, They Live Each Moment Reverently, Consciously, Always Ready To Celebrate The Next Blessing. When People Feel Like This, They Are Not In A Hurry, They Do Not Precipitate Events With Unthinking Actions. They Know That The Inevitable Will Happen, That What Is Real Always Finds A Way Of Revealing Itself. When The Moment Comes, They Do Not Hesitate, They Do Not Miss An Opportunity, They Do Not Let Slip A Single Magic Moment, Because They Respect The Importance Of Each Second.

I Love You Like A River That Understands That It Must Learn To Flow Differently Over Waterfalls And To Rest In The Shallows. I Love You Because We Are All Born In The Same Place, At The Same Source, Which Keeps Us Provided With A Constant Supply Of Water. And So, When We Feel Weak, All We Have To Do Is Wait A Little.

No, He Is Giving His Sweat And Tears For The Good Of The Family And So It Goes On: Sons Give Up Their Dreams To Please Their Parents, Parents Give Up Their Lives In Order To Please Their Children; Pain And Suffering Are Used To Justify The One Thing That Should Bring Only Love.
