[stylist] Thought Provoker About Love

Sun Feb 15 00:04:41 UTC 2009

Love "at first sight" is rather like a chemical reaction.  Yes, appearance 
means a lot to the sighted, but for the blind it's the personality, values 
or common interests that cement the relationship.  A counsellor once told me 
that as long as the chemistry is there, the relationship has a good chance 
of working.  I agree.  Judith
