Emma

My Dear Angel,

First of all, tell me what did you cook last evening for your friends ? Let me guess, An Italian meal ? A classic Italian soup – minestrone ? By the way I started cooking one year ago and love it. This Christmas, I got from Santa - Easy Meals -, another cookery book by Rachel Allen, my favourite cook. I love her recipes and her  I have to buy you one of her books. Another gift?

I cannot imagine that true love would like to make you stupid. Love means to give not to take. On the other hand you would like your true love to share all your passions and hobbies. I would rather expect some complementary passions and skills. Do you think that it could broaden your relationship? You cannot talk about markets and shares whole days !!!
You remind me of Emma Morley, a main character from a book - One Day. She was a teacher too  who was looking for her true love or rather who could not admit that her Black Swan was her best friend, Dexter. He did the same mistake. You have to read this very sad book and maybe learn a lesson. By the way I have to confess that my first love was not my last one. If you cannot find this book in K I will give it to you. Another gift?

And I do not believe that you can agree with the below quote by Ambrose Bierce ;-)
Love: A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder.

Seriously,
Śpieszmy się kochać ludzi, tak szybko odchodzą
i ci co nie odchodzą nie zawsze powrócą.
I nigdy nie wiadomo mówiąc o miłości, czy pierwsza jest ostatnią, czy ostatnia pierwszą.

Let’s come back to research and science.
WHY WE LOVE: The Nature and Chemistry of Romantic Love
What ’tis to love? Shakespeare asked. People probably pondered this as they lay around their campfires and watched the stars a million years ago. Anthropologist Helen Fisher and her colleagues have put 49 men and women into a brain scanner to understand this ecstasy: 17 who had just fallen in love; 15 who had just been rejected; and 17 who are still in love after 21 years of marriage. In WHY WE LOVE, Fisher follows romantic love among peoples around the world (the oldest love poem comes from ancient Sumeria over 4,000 years ago.) She discusses what happens in your brain when you fall in love, saying one area also “lights up” when you feel the rush of cocaine. She traces types of love, the feelings of love, the evolution of love, love among other creatures—from wolves to ducks and chimps, and the future of this beguiling feeling. "Romantic love," she says, "is a powerful and primordial mating drive that evolved to find and keep life’s most precious gift—an appropriate mating partner." Dr Fisher divides love into three categories involving different brain systems: 1) Lust (the craving for sexual gratification), driven by androgens and estrogens; 2) Attraction (or romantic or passionate love, characterized by euphoria when things are going well, terrible mood swings when they’re not, focused attention, obsessive thinking, and intense craving for the individual), driven by high dopamine and norepinephrine levels and low serotonin; and 3) Attachment (the sense of calm, peace, and stability one feels with a long-term partner) driven by the hormones oxytocin and vasopressin.

What is your definition of true love ? Lust, Attraction or Attachment ? Do you agree with Dr Fisher who says that even romantic love is a mating drive ? You are free so you can choose your love now.

My Angel, you try to reveal a mystery of our meeting and friendship. This is a very simple. I love helping people. I have introduced in my work very simple philosophy. It is called: servant-leadership: first to serve, then to lead. I put needs of my colleagues before mine. People call me asking for advices. If I could earn a lot of money first of all I would go to F., then educate my sons, and set up a charity organization and work in Africa. By the way I am a successful matchmaker for two my colleagues. I wish I could be your one .

Coming back to Niccolo, it seems we have at least one thing in common: lovers !!. I have to confess that I am not faithful to you. Currently, my lovers are: Rachael Allen for her cookery books, Rebecca Ferguson for her voice and songs, especially – Teach me to be loved (I will go to her concert just before my birthday in March – God I am so old !!!), Sharon Stone for her IQ, legs and one of the best erotic scenes in cinema history. Moreover I have seven children now and only one with you. I have given up Warren’s strategy. I need money ASAP to go to F. !!!
I am glad that you like pomes. I used to know all them by heart many years ago and thanks to you I can read and share them again. I have my special notebook with all my favourite pomes.
I have to come back to my work. The President is waiting. By the way you had so beautiful dreams tonight. I love guarding your dreams my Angel 

Your Niccolo
