A Classic Love Story

The classical love story Romeo and Juliet has been made a theme in Verona. They have the balcony where Romeo visited Juliet (shown) and even the tomb of Juliet. It was a bitter love story ended with the death of the lovers.

The guide booklet said the story even sparked an event run from Romeo's house to Juliet's house. I am curious to find out how long the distance he ran.

The story is surely dramatic. But real love is probably not anywhere near as impulsive as this. Even in daily mundanes when we express our concerns and appreciation to other people, love grows stronger. It is when the love has been tested over time that we know if it is a real love.
