Marry for the moolah
In about AD 270 the Roman emperor Claudius, banned marriages because love and marriage and the ensuing obligations, kept young men from going to war and fighting for Rome. A certain priest, St. Valentine married young couples secretly and became very
popular. The emperor finally found out what he was up to and had him executed. Even in jail he got quite friendly with the jailor’s daughter and left her a note saying, ‘Love from your Valentine’.
Now that is a sentimental point of view if I ever heard of one. I’d say too much is made of this thing termed ‘love’. It’s getting to be ridiculous. Oscar Wilde once said that to love oneself was the beginning of a life long romance. I agree. I wouldn’t advise anybody to go mooning after a ‘sweetheart’ who’ll dash your dreams the very next year. Nobody will live upto your expectations. Love yourself. If you must marry, marry for money which will keep you well supplied. I never heard of anything as silly as marrying a man because you’re in love. It’s a tough life out there. Get your feet on the ground. The world will be dazzled. He’ll respect you for that. So will his mother.
