Mark Twain Vs Buddhism

"Don't wake up a woman in love. Let her dream, so that she does not weep when she returns to her bitter reality" Apparently. That's Mark Twain for you. True, that love is important for our existence, but it isn't necessarily the only vital tool for our survival. Well, maybe not tool, how about element? Elemental. Sentimental. Attachment. Both men and women in love experience something transcendental- this is not romanticism...they are uplifted, inspired and hopeful. Happy too. This really is a dream, not the fantastical kind, but the transitory kind. There is nothing to be sad about, just as the "love dream" passes and you move on...the "bitter reality dream" will too. It's all in the mind. And in the mind it shall be. For better or for worse. And better still:)
