Aloha! Kailani is the brain-child behind this fun Friday meme. If you feel inclined to answer my question, please post your answer in the comment section. Sound fun? Of course it does! Want to answer more questions? Hop over to An Island Life and play along!
(Please feel free to answer the question below, even if you’re not playing Aloha Friday!)
My question:
You have the chance to meet someone with whom you can have the most satisfying love imaginable — the stuff of dreams.
Sadly, you know that in six months the person will die.
Knowing the pain that would follow, would you still want to meet the person and fall in love? What if you knew your lover would not die, but instead would betray you?
My answer: Leave it to me to tax your brain. 😀
Wow. …. Wow. I’m not even sure how to answer this. My gut instinct is to say NO. I wouldn’t want to endure that heartache afterward …
BUT
To experience pure love, the kind that perfectly melds into every fiber of your being, I don’t know. Would the experience be enough to sustain me after it was yanked away? And what kind of love life would I have afterward? Wouldn’t I always be comparing to that first love? And wouldn’t I always be disappointed?
I don’t know, I think I would prefer to just not experience it at all and always wonder … what if?
