Perhaps there is a grain of truth there but it is not all doom and gloom. For me, I think it’s a fine institution as long as it is working for both and both ARE working at it. If love, respect, and shared dreams are only carried by one, and/or along the way all was lost with no hope to be revived, the kindest thing one can do, for their soul and the other party, is to graciously move on! It’s best to be truthful and honest with one self. It’s healthier this way than conforming to the dogma of ‘till death do us part’ i.e. it is best to ‘reform not conform’ (Mark Twain ?)<br />I love Khalil Gibran’s view on marriage in the Prophet at:<br /><br />http://www.robinsweb.com/inspiration/prophet.html<br /><br />As for Darwin and evolution, the old movie ‘Inherit the wind’ comes to mind. I love it!<br /><br />This NYTimes article “What Shamu Taught Me About a Happy Marriage” by Amy Sutherland is for Mrs. Botogol :-) <br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/25/fashion/25love.html?ex=1308888000&en=f3a9c33e07612db0&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss<br /><br />Re Sunk Boat: Many thanks for the posting. I agree with you. I actually deleted the film from my lovefilm list.<br /><br />Scribbler: Enjoy the rest of your trip and keep the pics coming:-)M4GDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05037301160446631777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30869933.post-2623864349206861482009-04-16T08:31:00.000+01:002009-04-16T08:31:00.000+01:00you must be in New York.
