It will just happen.We, as human beings, are so worn out in these battlefields that we shut ourselves out of the experience when it gets too intense. Because loving does entail pain and conflict sometime. We get on each others nerves or sit back and say, “You know what, I choose to be alone and not engaged in this.” The beauty of life is to engage because as you engage, its the vitality of life and passion. To constantly engage and retreat and engage and retreat, it’s like a wave.
