I don’t understand why not.
At eleven I defeated a gentleman. From the father’s car I saw the gentleman collecting the balls in a tube… in front of the gaze of his son and his wife.
Did you feel pity?
I empathize too much with the rival, that is to say, that I am of no use to compete.

Of a doctor But he has been happy raising us. He then took exams and today is a nursing assistant in a hospital.

A relevant life learning?
Kindness! Kindness is the hater’s kryptonite: be kind to him, because he’s going to piss him off a lot. He will be fine.
what is love
Love is not being afraid to tell the person you love that you see ghosts.
Absolute trust, I understand.
A real love is the one that is above the passing lovers that your partner or yourself get into bed with.
Unless your partner – or you – falls in love with a third party, right?
