Can there be wisdom in romance? I venture to say that there are those who would say no, but after attaining
sixty-two years among the human species and a variety of non-humans, I would have to say, "Absolutely!"
For one thing romance alters our vision so that we do not notice minor flaws.....much the way moonlight or candlelight are so much more flattering to everything and everybody. It allows us to get close enough to each other to learn the important things like character, moral compass, tastes, philosophy, political outlooks, religious beliefs. These are things it takes time to find out. Romance allows us not to be put off by superficial appearances, long enough to establish a life connection. Yes, I would say there is wisdom in romance.
