I skimmed this conversation from facebook between two young lovebirds.
He said, "I love you so much I am willing to die for you." (Shades of Romeo)
She said, "Are you sure? I hope you speak the truth." (No, not in the least like Juliet)
Many young men feel good, or even heroic, about being Romeo. They all think they are Romeos. However, they don't understand one very important issue. You can't be a Romeo unless the one you love wants to be a Juliet. If she is not Juliet, then you are just a stupid fool, nothing close to being a Romeo.
Love is a delicate balancing act. I always thought that it does not matter how much you love the other person, but if you are loved more or less equally, then you probably have a great and lasting love story. If it is not in balance, ultimately it will cause any pretending Romeos, or Juliets, to break down. They will realise, finally, that they would have paid too much in love, and it is seldom worth it.
Romeo is Romeo, only if Juliet is Juliet.
