SO MUCH PAIN

Posted on 26/02/2021 by Nightpoet

“Love, like most things in life, has its light and its dark side.

an observable premise in all that exists in the universe.

Think of matter and energy. Good and evil. To be or not to be.

Misunderstanding this basic concept is what it means to be human…”
