There are people who understand and do not live ,and There are others that live but do not Understand . The first kind cannot Ever Really reach the second, even though they understand them. And the Second Can never Understand the Essence, but then it doesn’t matter. The feeling of Love or Hate, Liking some body or The possibility of learning to like some one, exists, but The categories of understanding Do not exist For them.
