I would like to follow up a little on my previous post on sensitivity analysis. Writing on sensitivity analysis wasn't quite my aim in writing that piece; I was actually hoping to get down on paper (or screen) something I've long felt but didn't quite express before: the tug-of-war between striving for achievement and going...

Complementary Love
When it comes to love -- though it may be hard to tell the difference -- seek not one who compliments you, but one who complements you.
Holding Hands
Though not a believer in soul-mates, you are closer to one that I'd ever get without my resorting to blasphemy. I remember the first time I held your hand. I was expecting sparks; a skip in the beat of my heart; a shiver down my spine; But when I held your hand (and you didn't... Continue Reading →
The Time Dimension of Love

Kissing
My wisdom's tooth almost healed already. Although it still gives me a little discomfort, I'm pretty sure that within the next three days, especially after the stitches are removed, I shall be able to do almost everything that I have done before. Including eating sushi. And kissing.

For the first time in my life I got the feeling that living with honour and integrity was more important than living with happiness. I was thinking about why people got married. Why limit yourself to just one woman, when by being single you have the opportunity to have many? If, for example, I was... Continue Reading →
