OPINION
Dear Friends,
Every once in a while I write about issues of the heart instead of political rhetoric . I wrote a novel about love. Here is the Prologue: The book ‘s name is “UNCONDITIONAL LOVE”.
PROLOGUE
“People have asked me, especially some of Janice’s friends, “Why would you write such a book exposing her life to the world? What a terrible thing to do! ” One person, a former friend of ours, named Elizabeth Smith, formerly from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, exclaimed in an angry e-mail, “Judson, you should be ashamed of yourself.” I disagree with that perspective completely. I was without a doubt taken for the most extensive, emotional and expensive ride in my life by Janice. We were lovers, I thought we were friends, and I was certain she loved me based on her actions and her unequivocally saying so. I spent many thousands of dollars on clothes, jewelry, furniture, trips, restaurants and indulgences in an effort to please her. She willfully and consciously indulged herself in these significant expenditures. I enjoyed watching her pleasure in the participation of our definitely, surreal adventure. Indeed I adored her and after it ended, I learned that she apparently never really loved me. That total realization was devastating to my ego, my self- esteem, and my entire well-being. I suffered situational depression and actually became physically ill as a result. It was without a doubt the most painful thing I have ever endured in my entire life. Lord Tennyson’s famous words, “better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all”, are baloney. The pain was excruciating and devastating. SUCH is life. My feelings of the heart were there, which we all have experienced. SO be it.”
WHAT do you think?
