Back with a bang ? not really
In the meantime, while I prepare myself to be back, again with a bang ! here's something I read recently.

“I adore you because you made me a whore.”
Said in another way, she was right. Florentino Ariza had stripped her of the virginity of a conventional marriage, more pernicious than congenital virginty or the abstinence of widowhood. He had taught her that nothing one does in bed is immoral if it helps to perpetuate love.

dude - you disappeared after our last conversation - I still have the record at 29 of 32. Remember Genius levels were 19. :P
Nothing one does is immoral if it does not hurt anybody in anyway.
imho, nothing is moral,immoral,right,wrong. these are self-defined parameters, rather boundaries, that one lives by. some draw these limits themselves, some more ordinary do as society dictates. a few others are in more fruitful pursuits. it's all in your mind.
nonetheless this was a good read.. "i adore you because you made me a whore" beautiful.
I have tried reading the book, Love in the time of cholera, many times, but I find it too slow to go beyond a page at a time!
But I shall complete reading it in years to come! :P
Nice observation, though!
