Squared.
It was getting dark. Jack had just bathed after running the whole path around the games centre in town. Now he was sitting outside his door, looking into the horizon as the sun began to set.
It's so hard to believe that I almost did this, he thought to himself.
True. Many times you don't see the reason why some things happen.
I actually desired her; I wanted her so much!
He recalled a time during The Worship of God, how he looked at Jyllian from the distance, his passions rising within him. Oh, how beautiful she is! And all this happened during a holy moment in the temple!
But it felt so right back then! Exactly. He was not looking at other girls, and he was not in haste to propose to Jyllian. My only concern was whether it was the right moment to do it.
Many times you don't see the reason why some things happen. Until the thing is past.
So is it past now? Could he tell?
I can't. Yet he has learned to not dwell too much on what the eyes can see, or the flesh can experience, or what life can pride itself in. Like winning a fair lady's love. To behold her beauty, or enjoy her, or show her off - a living trophy. No, true love must be more than this.
Jack knows of people who have settled for less. He decided not to be one of those.
It was finally dark - the sun had fully set. Jack arose, turned around, and entered his house. A lot more needs to be done. Until then, I will not just resort to satisfying my own self.
