This story is like one chapter from Jane Austen's

novel.I understand deeply women's need to be loved and cared and wish all men will return this love and care with the same. But we know the reality too well to be so fanciful. If we allow ourselves to be fair, very often, men are the party to suffer such unrequited love. It is better for our own sake to discriminate between the desire to love and the desire to acquire love. The former is under our own control and it renders peace and joy no matter how much we have given while the later is much more risky and may have the effect of a stock market:)
I enjoyed your writing very much. Thanks!
