Laptop! Never leave home without it.

Forgot the laptop in the car, so no posts until I flew back today.

Had an interesting dinner at a castle last night at the hunting palace of a former royal family in the middle of nowhere. The trek upto it was alone worth it.

I am really tired, no sleep.

I have an ethical question, comments welcome.

So a man pledges love to a woman and she does not respond either way. Next week in a freak accident, he becomes a paraplegic with no chance of recovery while she is away. She visits him and over time spends a lot of time with him. His friends assume they are seeing each other romantically. They get close but she is very confused about the relationship. But there has to be something that makes her visit him everyday.

Can one see this as a situation of love triumphing against all? Or does one need to see this as situation where the woman is trapped in a hopeless situation and the man being selfish for holding onto something in his otherwise dreadful situation?

I wonder.
