One day, I asked my friends, "What do you think about William Shakespeare?" And most of them answered, "A wonderful English poet!" or something close enough with the statement. Basically, they answer would be 'wonderful!', 'romantic', or what-so-ever you want to call him (hey, no offense, kay!). Well, it is undeniable that his stories and poems are superb. They are his masterpieces after all. Especially, Romeo and Juliet. A famous love story. In fact, people always send love letters to Juliet on 14th February every year! I wish people would do that to me too~ (Yay, more chocolates!)
I'm really sure that everyone knows the story. A tragic love story. Both of them died in the end. Awww... So sad. But better die together than suffer alone, right? Well, I guess I don't need to elaborate more about it. But, hey! This story is THE BEST love story ever.
Or not...
Why?
I thought to myself that I needed an adult opinion. So, I asked the same question to my teacher. He was quite old. Well, he gave me the same answer. And I was... *sighed*... disappointed. But, he continued, "However, I don't think Romeo and Juliet is the best love story." Now, he got my attention. I asked further, "Why?" And his answer was, "Because everyone in this world has their own love story. It depends to them whether to judge it as a good love story or bad." Oh, he got it right though. "And as for me, it would be nice to grow old together than died together. Because I want to spent more time with my wife. Creating more sweet moments with her. Watching our grandchildren together. And that is more than enough for me." His answer startled me. He smiled warmly at me and went to continue his duty. For first time in my life, my brain worked so hard for one day just to figure out his points. Finally, my lips cracked a smile.
Yeah, I would like to grow old together with my love too.
(Who's that???)
Sweet moment~
