I read some disturbing news today. A friend of a friend of mine (with whom i’m a fairly good acquaintence of) quit CAL to be with his girlfriend. It was pretty shocking.

Now, I don’t know about anyone else… But — however romantic — I find that rather stupid. Awesome, amazing, commendable in bravery and conviction of his love… But rather idiotic. I mean… His future could be on the line right there.

Plus.. What of his girlfriend.. Does she not love him enough to care what he might be paying in order to be with her?

The sacrifice he made was bigger than the separation that would temporarily keep them apart, I feel.

However… Maybe I’ve just never felt love as strongly. This reminds me of a scene from “Sayonara”, where Marlon Brando is talking to one of his men out of marrying a japanese girl. He tells his friend that he “would never give up [his] citizenship for ANY girl”… His friend simply replied, “Well, Ace, maybe that’s cuz you don’t feel as strongly about your girl as I do mine.”.

It makes me wonder if I could ever be a fool for love. Maybe I already have been. You tell me.
