CHAPTER XVI
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
Here is a question that all of us can answer without hesitation: "Do you believe in love at first sight?"
Of course, we do believe in love at first sight. There are enough cases on record to prove it genuine. And yet there have been cases where one has believed that he or she had fallen in love at first sight when experience proved that it was a mistake.
Therefore we conclude that we must not be sure that our infatuation at first sight is necessarily the genuine lasting article.
I knew a man who was tremendously impressed by a beautiful girl whom he met, and the feeling grew to such a degree that he felt he could not live without her. It was happiness beyond compare to be in her presence. Later on her love and kisses and words of affection confirmed him in his belief of love at first sight. And yet they did not marry. Each married, and each married happily.
