A guy walks into a post office on the eve of Valentine's Day to see a middle-aged, bald man standing at the counter, methodically placing 'Love' stamps on bright pink envelopes with hearts all over them. Then he takes out a perfume bottle and starts spraying scent all over them.
This guy is really curious. What is this? On Valentine's Day, you normally send a card to only one person; some people may send to two people; rarely, three or four people. But this man is sending out a thousand Valentine cards!
He goes near the man and sees that all the cards have different addresses on them.
The guy asks the bald man, 'What are you doing?'
The man says, 'Well, I am sending a thousand Valentine cards signed "Guess who?" to a thousand different people.'
The guy asks, 'But why?!'
The man says, 'Because I am a divorce lawyer!'
Understand, we know only this much love! One anonymous card and it's all over! We only know the love of the rose that fades in a few days. We know only superficial love, pseudo love, changing love . We don't know the stable love that lasts forever.
