Prologue discussion

Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

Does Love at First Sight Exist?

I for one, Do not believe in love at first sight. It never really worked for my family. My grandmother was married three times, my step-grandfather was married twice, and my father was married once. I think love is a way of saying, "hey, I've gotten used to all the stupid stuff you do and you got used to me, so, why bother trying to do that with other people". Except, you can't always to that. Just about every one in my family has though they had a love at first sight moment, but it was all a fantasy. Sometimes, Those that we have gotten used to can hurt us when they try to leave.
