Continued from page 1
In this last context however, true love can only be assumed, after it has been tested, not to be a play for
gold, but as a really genuine state of
mind.
This brings us quickly to
story of Romeo and Juliet. First and foremost, they were both from two powerful, perhaps financially free, albeit feuding families. Without
knowledge (possible bias) that Romeo was of
Montague family, she is drawn by him. When she later finds out, she mourns her fate to
heavens and Romeo, hiding in bushes close to her house, hears her lamentation and despite being initially dismayed that she was a Capulet, (this dismay cannot have been too great however, otherwise what was Romeo doing lurking around Juliet’s house in
first place?) is immediately emboldened to make his feelings known to her. True Love had been found!
What is
moral of
story therefore in
light of
theme of my discourse?
True love can be found, despite any and all biases, financial included. He or she may not be well-off now, but that can always change. Romeo and Juliet were not willing to risk their love over pride and
squabble of some old and dead people; a squabble which was probably silly, of which they knew nothing.
Yes,
need for security is very high, but if you truly love him or her, if
bias can be changed, you will try to change it and have true love. If it can’t be changed, or
other refuses to change to suit your personal ‘filter’ and make you both happy, then, you may have to let go.
