A pastor sharing this quote during a sermon about God's love.
Amusement should be used to do us good “like a medicine”: it must never be used as the food of the man...Many have had all holy thoughts and gracious resolutions stamped out by perpetual trifling. Pleasure so called is the murderer of thought. This is the age of excessive amusement: everybody craves for it, like a babe for its rattle.

You have also grown a little stupid.
Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.
At the end of the day, you know, love does not happen between two perfect people as much as we would wish.
