Love Destroyed

It is sad to see love in our modern world often destroyed not by unfaithfulness, or by a 3rd party intrusion, but simply due to the gospel of work and economic success. It happens especially when both man and woman in love together allow one or the either to get busily embroiled within that universal scramble for money.

Between man and woman whom there is love, they both succeed or fail together, but when they hate each other the success of either is the failure of the other.

In the meantime, what is even more painful is that with enough money already saved, we continue to suffer from poverty of the worst kind – the poverty of the mind and heart.

Despite economic success, life is still empty; still devoid of intellectual substance; still bereft of the good life – one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.

How petty, selfish, insecure, greedy, stupid, insane, and needlessly frightened should we be? Poch Suzara
