Unlike the Latin world, ours emphasizes the "stiff upper lip", sober, sterile, composed-at-all-costs ... much to the detriment of our inner spirits. Allowing ourselves an occasional "lusty month of May", tryst, taboo, and momentary lapse into impropriety seems to be the "wink wink, nudge nudge" of knowing the truth of our untruth - wouldn't it seem. And seeing such natural passion perhaps makes us a bit envious - that perhaps others have attained a bliss we still yearn for. We can have occasional 'fun' but not be too happy - for everyone knows that "only an idiot smiles all the time". Maybe the yearning for "amore" is what's really needed more in our current state of being - and that indeed those "in love" don't feel understood at all (and definitely not accepted). Just wondering, thanks.TomGnoreply@blogger.com
