At a recent memorial service I attended, the minister spoke about marriage and used the expressions: “I belong to you, you belong to me.” “I’ll take care of you.” While I agree on the words “I’ll take care of you”, I don’t agree about the “belonging” part. You can never BELONG to anybody, no matter how great your “love” is, no matter how much you wish to be “one” with the other person. In spite of all the beautiful feelings that people have for each other (romantic love or any other kind), each of us is basically ALONE. Some might disagree, but if you really think about it, if you examine yourself at a deeper level, you will find it to be true. Sad, but true!
