Prologue: Let's talk about love, shall we?

Let's talk about love, shall we?

Love is an emotion that has inspired poems, songs and legends throughout the ages. Authors incessantly praised this or that aspect of it, trying to sell us the idea that love is right there, so close, within reach of our fingertips.

But most of the time, it's not like that.

Love: it's much more than just an emotion, it is also a conscious decision of two people to share their lives together not because they are different but despite their differences.

In modern times, love was slowly substituted by lust, the momentary satisfaction of two eager bodies searching for the release of endorphins and other chemicals in their brains.

We became greedy.

And as we became greedy, we became lonelier than ever before.

But what would it take for us find the real thing? Would we be willing to do what it takes to meet the person despite who he or she really is? No matter what it takes? Would we be willing to compromise who we are and show our hidden and protected egos, without masks, scales or our several layers of skin hiding our inner self?

Would we shed the layers of shame, rejection, pain, regret and guilt and stand before that person unprotected, showing all of our vulnerabilities to him/her?

Would you?

And the question that plagues me the most... Would I?
