How Old is too Old for real Love?

At what age do you stop wanting the love of a good person by your side? Does anyone know of such a thing as too Old to love? If there is a resounding no from the choir, then why do the younger generations always have a problem with their grandparents expressing their affections in public like every other couple? It boggles the mind how double standards still inflict themselves on our society.

Disappointment

When young everyone has great expectations for their lives. Pip's expectations were grand by a few people's thinking. Why is it that the things we think we know we want are not they're cracked up to be? For a while we feel highly disappointed but once we think on the matter we come to realize that what we actually want was ours all along. Life never does turn out the way we think they should but God always knows what's best for us and acts accordingly.

Browning's Duchess

When did we forget to remember our history and try to move on to a better and more productive future? We went from Europe's aristocracy killing and rapping anyone beneath them without consequences to mafias of every ilk and governments starting wars that benfit no one. We yet to evolve beyond they caveman mentality. Browning's poem of the Duchess only goes to show us that things are still on the road to destruction through ignorant and power hungry poeple.

Natural Confusion

At what point do you stop to smell the roses and look up and chack the stars? After completing Frankenstein I have a new and improved understanding of the saying, "there's a fine line between genius and madness". It stands to reason that Victor Frankenstein was mad and should have been committed to some sort of institution. This may have helped him and his familyand stopped the events that led to all their deaths. Who knows, some type of intervention could have been exactly what was needed.
