If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid [Epictetus]

Valentines’ week: 

cheesy movies on TV and bakeries throwing free donuts at your head so you can surprise your love with a huge sugarbomb in the morning (who said the food-sex strategy was only for chimpanzees and bonobos?).

To get in a romantic mood I started the week with watching Nymphomaniac part 2. It becomes painfully clear that you can be as free as you want until love comes into play,…wonderful, thinking about all these beautiful dark twisted fantasies (yes, I do like Kanye West) that we as decent human beings do not dare talk about. So thank you Lars von Trier!

To snap out of it, I finished the week with 'Serendipity', explained as 'fortuitous happenstance' by etymologists. Interesting how Jonathan and Sara want to control their beautiful clear sane fantasy on meeting again years after they first met. 

How can you not love this day?
