Maturity Of Love (English): The Era of Love

<p><b><i>For some people love never truly arrives&mdash;</i></b><br/><b><i>no matter how fiercely they desire someone</i></b><br/><b><i>no matter how deeply they care.</i></b><br/><b><i>Their longing remains unanswered</i></b><br/><b><i>as if love recognizes them</i></b><br/><b><i>yet never chooses them.</i></b></p><p><b><i>This story moves through childhood youth and old age</i></b><br/><b><i>woven around a condition the world simply calls love.</i></b><br/><b><i>We all know that loving can bring peace</i></b><br/><b><i>and loving can also bring destruction.</i></b><br/><b><i>Yet the question remains unanswered:</i></b><br/><b><i>why do we so often fail to choose the right person</i></b><br/><b><i>and repeatedly surrender ourselves to the wrong one?</i></b></p><p><b><i>In this world whatever you ask for&mdash;</i></b><br/><b><i>guided by your own selfishness&mdash;</i></b><br/><b><i>returns to you in the same measure.</i></b><br/><b><i>Sometimes as a blessing</i></b><br/><b><i>sometimes as a punishment you did not see coming.</i></b></p><p><b><i>This is the story of a boy</i></b><br/><b><i>who wandered through childhood and youth</i></b><br/><b><i>with no clear direction&mdash;</i></b><br/><b><i>except toward love.</i></b><br/><b><i>Life gave him everything</i></b><br/><b><i>he never asked for</i></b><br/><b><i>and denied him the one thing</i></b><br/><b><i>he prayed for in silence.</i></b></p><p><b><i>A man like him is rarely understood.</i></b><br/><b><i>Not because he lacks love</i></b><br/><b><i>but because he does not display it&mdash;</i></b><br/><b><i>he lives it.</i></b><br/><b><i>Only a father truly understands such love:</i></b><br/><b><i>a love for his children greater than his own life.</i></b><br/><b><i>And yet to protect them</i></b><br/><b><i>he willingly becomes the villain inside his own home</i></b><br/><b><i>so that his children may one day grow up as heroes.</i></b><br/><b><i>His sacrifice is quiet</i></b><br/><b><i>often unnoticed</i></b><br/><b><i>and almost never thanked.</i></b></p>
