Ah but nothing said on love beteen adults. Which means that Branson is either shy, hasn't found it, or avoiding the gay/straigt debate… which doesn't sound like something a former newspaper fellow would do. Course he isn't shy either.Hmmm

I don%u2019t write about love as much as I used to when I was first married and just discovering its intricacies. I%u2019ve grown beyond the dazzled state of wonder and awe it used to put me in. Instead I%u2019m aware of my dependence on the love that I have for my husband. Like the air that I breathe, it is a vital part of who I am.

Love continually pushes me to succeed. It makes me want to take the hard road, tackle the most difficult task. It drives me to be more than I could ever be on my own. That%u2019s the thing about love, it pushes and sucks one out into the glaring world, like a child at birth. Without love, it is so easy to cave in and turn away from the dazzle of life.

I was not taught that love was an esteem building process, but rather an UNCONDITIONAL response to a person that drives another person to show kindness and affection for them. Sadly, I found that all the men I have met in my lifetime all had conditions. Wealth (family connection) being number one, and education being second, sexual attractiveness being third, what material junk I own, and the actual feelings of love being more like fifth place. The world is full of shallow men and women, but this is the way life is in a world full of class distinctions. My list of disappointments are long. Sadly the wealthiest of men are at the top of that list next to a few poor ones that imagined that they were/are they are the cat’s meow.
