Power Thought on Love

Love has no claims. Love has no expectations. Most of us were raised to become prostitutes. We have the illusion that with good behavior, good grades, lots of awards, pretty clothes, nice smiles, we can buy love. How many ifs were you raised with! I love you if you make it through high school. I love you if you bring good grades home. Boy, would I love you if I could say my son is a doctor. You become a doctor or a lawyer, or whatever your parents never were able to become, with the illusion that they will love you more. Love can never be bought. There are people who spend their lives prostituting themselves, pleasing other people in the hope of getting love. They will shop the rest of their lives for it and they will never find it.

Power Thought on Mediocrity

What is distasteful is the way we hide behind our own sterile mediocrity and take pleasure in the failings of someone who at least had the courage to try.

Power Thought on Heartbreak

It’s the way of the world; the nature of the thing. To sit out on love because you’ve been devastated is just bad manners. It’s like refusing to play any party games because it’s not your birthday and you don’t get to keep the presents.

Power Thought on Seduction

It means that a seduction that takes place slowly, with only the most exquisite images and experiences for the imagination to work on and grab hold of, will yield powerful results.
