That reminded me of a story that I red not long ago. It was about a couple living on a deserted island they were working the land and building their home constantly improving as well as caring and providing for each other. In time the man fell in love with the woman and even though it was insanely hard for him to express his feelings towards her one day he managed to man up and tell her that he loves her deeply and more than she could imagine. She told him that she could not respond in the same manner though.
The man got angry and went through incredible agony from the inside for a long time. He stopped working the land and providing for his loved one who he no longer thought he loved because of her response. He was depressed and did not go out of the house for a long time cutting all sorts of communication with the woman.
She never stopped doing what they used to do together though and went on caring for him providing food and improving their home even though she was excluded from his world all that remained was his own angst shame and anger.
One late night both of them were sitting in the same room in complete silence. But the man decided to break the silence and quietly mumbled.
You could have at least given me a reason.
The young girl smiled with a lovely expression and told him.
You told me that you loved me waiting to hear the same, yet I told you "I cannot respond in the same manner". You barely bothered doing anything after that. Why is that?
The man was still not happy and responded to the girl with the following.
As you said that you couldn't love me, I decided to return the notion, hence I stopped loving you.
The girl giggled, afterward bursting into laughter.
Oh, my... my.... you are so wrong.
When you loved me you took care of me, but when you stopped you came to the decision of not caring for me and yourself in that manner.
The man stood in silence and had nothing to say. So the girl continued.
Then let me ask you one thing. Why did I never stop caring for both of us?
So there's your reason.
Oh **** hit the fan there eh? I find it fascinating how full of oneself one can get over his emotions maybe a little bit of sorcery lessons on detachment could have helped the poor fellow. Beautiful post Pixie Dust.
Now on another point.
What's the story about? Is there one lesson to be learned from it or numerous I'm just curious what do you people find in there except "actions speak louder than words"?
