The Princess Bride

& True Love


Remember this movie?  It is a classic.  Even men like this movie.  The major question revolving about true love.  If you are one of the fortunate ones and you find true love then why do you turn your back on it or give it up?  That is a very complicated question and not an easy one to answer.

Remember An Affair to Remember?  Where a couple meets at sea but are involved with other people.  They decide to meet on top of the Empire State building but the guy is upset because he thinks he has been stood up and the girl is upset because she knows the guy thinks this but she doesn't know how to get word to him.  The reason being that she was on her way to meet him, had an accident, and can never walk again.

Love is difficult most of the time.  Is it ironic that arranged marriages last longer than when we actually have a choice?  That makes me wonder if maybe we just don't make good choices or if we are all doomed to failure.  Well, I hope not!  Kudos to those of you who fell in love and lived happily ever after.  Unlike the rest of us whose love lives probably make you think wistfully of Charlie Brown.
