The article is about virtual love. According to the author, virtual love relationships tend to be fragile. Typed words may not express the truth. She defends the need of meeting in real life, in case we want a love "in plural" as she said, instead of a platonic one.
Anu-ji, I belive that people are the same. People who have fixed opinion for others will have the same behaviour in real or virtual world. At internet we can create an illusion, make others believe we are someone we are not. We can even speak the truth! Doesn't it happen in real life too? Virtual love is not satisfactory. We cannot spend our whole life depending on a scrap or an e-mail. We cannot spend our whole life imagining how touching or kissing him or her would be. Relatioships can be very deceptive, it is true! But we have to learn how do deal with deception. No-one likes to be cheated. We must keep in mind that no matter how deceiving and hurting some relationships can be, they do not affect us in our inside values and beliefs. If they do, those were not solid enough. "If you judge people, you have no time to love them." Mother Teresa "I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love."
