How can you

"How can you preserve your love? How can you make it last as long
as possible? By not throwing yourself on the person you are
falling in love with and devouring them. Because when all the
excitement has passed, weariness will soon set in, and you will
lose your inspiration and your joy, like someone who has eaten
too much and has no more interest in food. But humans always seem
to be in a hurry to destroy anything that can bring more beauty
and meaning to their lives. They will sacrifice a love that
brings them every blessing, that brings them heaven, for the sake
of a few minutes’ pleasure. Why do they not try putting off the
physical expression of their love, so that they can make the
feeling of wonder they are experiencing last as long as possible?
But no, they feel an attraction, and they have to quickly put an
end to it.
But what happens then? Even when they marry and have ,
they carry on living together out of habit, to respect
convention, to make a good impression on their friends and
relatives, but inside they have already left each other a long
time ago. It is the subtler sensations that sustain love, that
prolong life and make it beautiful. That is where the true elixir
of eternal life is to be found."
