    I think that any woman would feel offended if a man who supposedly professes his love would be as shameless as to write a poem as such inspired by her.

    Symposium Everybody has naturally experienced love, whether it was for a family member, a friend, a pet, a significant other, or even themselves. But exactly what is love and why does it naturally happen? Though love is an easy word to say, it is not as easy to define it in just words.

Agápe, meaning “love” in modern day Greek, is referred to a

In addition to that, Utopia is literally and island. Utopia’s founder Utopous has made the land an artificial island to protect it from outside influence and corruption

    Freedom Freedom, what is it exactly? My definition of freedom is doing what you want but you still have to face the consequences.
