I have always liked those widowers who, after losing the love of their life, preferred to live the rest of their lives alone than to be content with a second best partner. I don't despise the more pragmatic people who prefer to compromise rather than live alone. But if I am not allowed to have the woman of my heart because our connection doesn't fit into the diabolical plans ^up there^, then I'll dance the rest of my life alone. Fuck the system! (But don't break the rules! Ignore them, undermine and circumvent them.)
