Love and Mood: The Theory of Mood (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9791221052954)

Have you fallen in love? Very well, no problem. Live it to the fullest, play with it and take it easy: it will only make you feel good. It's only the first part of a couple's relationship, the purely selfish one, and that's how you should experience it: like a game or a dream.

It's not love, as we all know, because love is something else and mood sets the rules, but let's keep it that way. It's just a beautiful moment of your life.

You don't need the truth in the first part of your relationship, you can push it aside; you know it's there and you can use it whenever you need. You should only use the truth to avoid making mistakes, hurting others or yourself and creating useless stress or suffering.

You need the truth in the second part of your relationship, instead: it's the altruistic phase, or the concrete and mature family phase. Only the truth can allow a family to grow in harmony, joy and serenity; not dreams, false illusions and castles in the air.

Of course, this way of life is something else, and it surely is less beautiful and exciting, but it's still positive and concrete. You can dream when you need to dream, but you have to burst your bubble and be realistic at some point.

Consider the beginning of the relationship simply as a game, an exciting game that makes you happy and nothing more; you're just a happy person that is playing. You can call it 'love' and enjoy it as it is, even if it isn't love, but call it 'mood' when necessary and you'll see that you can't go wrong that way.
