There is a saying that no man has tasted the full flavour of life until he has known poverty, love and war. I reject this totally. No man could wish to taste a better flavour than the love of an understanding, forgiving and sensual woman, the surge of pride provided by intelligent, compassionate, talented and loving children and then in later life, the complete release of inhibitions in the dealings with one's grandchildren ; to act like the fool and be thought of as wonderfully entertaining.
To witness their awakening, and understanding of the world and all it's beauty. To watch them as they set out on this grand adventure called life. All this without the pressures of parenthood. This is special love that has to be experienced to be understood. I love this flavour of life.
