Details
We live in an age of emotionalism, falsity appears true, so that what seems true will be false. How do you know who really has true feelings? Which man can you believe? I am really afraid of marriage. I feel more and more convinced that spinsterhood is the only safe option: it avoids trouble, and keeps life safe and straightforward.
