do you understand my passions?

- i read this unusual book yesterday. it was about a woman who was dating a younger man. she was totally mad about him, but she couldn't understand why he would be interested in her.

- did you enjoy the reading?

- yes, i guess i did. i am not sure, though. she was worried about their relationship. too worried actually.

- why?

- she kept wondering if it was the right thing to do, if he could only be infatuated. probably she was scared of an ephemeral passion.

- sounds like a stupid novel to me.

- that's because you didn't read it. she wanted this man with all her heart (maybe that's your problem, you never want anything with all your heart).

- then why was she so troubled?

- she felt there was a gap between what she wanted and what was right. she was too involved and she was in terror. she would have never resisted a broken heart.

- is there a happy ending?

- she dies in the end

- see? i told you it was an obtuse story.
