more words of wisdom

The act itself never varies, but each kiss (or for that matter a gesture of intimacy between two people) conveys a meaning all it’s own. It can mean a husband’s eternal devotion or a wife’s enormous regret. It can symbolize a mother’s growing concern or a lover’s growing passion. But whatever it’s meaning, each kiss reflects a basic human need. The need to connect to another human being. This desire is so strong, it’s always amazing when some people don’t understand it. And it is painful when our kiss or gesture of devotion, regret, concern or passion is met with refusal. A refusal which ignores us, punishes us, cools us down, shows us diminished in the eyes of the one we love. It is a dangerous game this refusal, because the refusal can turn love, devotion, or growing passion into sorrow and mourning.
