ethiopian shadow

Met a friend from Ethiopia for coffee recently.

He told me about an Ethiopian saying:

Women are like shadows - no matter how hard you try to get closer to her, she stays just out of reach; but when you decide to walk away from her, she follows closely behind.

Is it really that complicated a relationship between the two? Or is the shadow just the wrong shadow? Can it even be the wrong shadow?!

what love is

I sure as hell don't know what love is.

But i sure as hell know it messes people up.

When you love your job, you slog for it, put up with all sorts of nonsense, you make bad decisions.

When you love someone, you end up hurting yourself and your partner inadvertently.

When you love.....you mess up - of this I am certain.
