I also noticed that.
My first thought is that those two are friends. How good to have a true friend instead of a liar. From start to new start, they wait for each other – find each other – and find each other anew.
Was your boyfriend your friend as a little child, with balloons?I am reminded of the conversation I had with my boyfriend last week in which I told him I want someone to love me, who wants to spend the rest of their life with me.
He said, that’s a really long time. Let’s take it one day at a time.
He thinks marriage should be a contract one renews every 5 years or so.
Wasting my time :banghead:
I want what that girl in the picture has. A partner, lover, and friend, for life. Is that asking for too much?
The picture made me unhappy and envious, becuase if that were a picture of me, knowing my luck i would be alone from beginning to the end with only one gravestone to keep me company in death.
A lot of people in our day and age think that a commitment such as implied by a state of marriage means that they will be losing out on something; its perceived as losing some kind of freedom. The grass is always greener on the other side in peoples minds. And so, instead of seeking lifelong commitments, People use each-other for comfort and forge unions only as a sign of social dominance & success. They call it a “relationship”, but really it is an agreement between to people to use each-other sexually and in any other way that is pleasing until such a desire is no-longer there; and this is simply because in todays society relationships are conceived in the context of sensory pleasure rather than a moral duty. We have a moral duty to marry the people we fall in love with if we truly intend to love them in the full sense of the word. If you truly love someone your intention will always be to act in a way that brings them happiness, and as such this implies by default an intention to marriage. But a women is naught but food for a mans belly, a trophy for the male ego. Not to love; for to love is seen as a sign of weakness; a lose. Today, marriage is a union until something better comes along…I am sorry to say.I am reminded of the conversation I had with my boyfriend last week in which I told him I want someone to love me, who wants to spend the rest of their life with me.

I think it is missing Jesus and Mary in all of the pictures.
Seeing leafless trees, as I’m seeing now outside my window, has come to remind me of how they will bud and grow again in spring. So, in a way, the last scene does speak to me of life after death.
Yes! Then it wouldn’t be depressing. My girlfriend said it made her sad because the picture is lonely without Jesus or Mary!I think it is missing Jesus and Mary in all of the pictures.
I would have Jesus and Mary in all of the pictures, with picture 5 showing Jesus, Mary and the wife in Heaven looking down on the husband, and then picture 6 having them all happy in Heaven!
Someone once said, death is the opposite of birth, but life has no opposite.Well the picture is not finished. Because of this, I saw sadness.
The picture represents a beginning and an end, but the ending is a misconception. There is no ending. Life goes on after death, so my sadness of it all ‘ending’ is only a feeling of what I know. I’m human so I see life itself as a beginning and an ending. Its hard to imagine life after death. Its hard to imagine eternity. And this picture is a great example of how our mind sees ‘time’. But with enough faith you will overcome the feeling of death. My dog passed away last summer and as much as I cry because I miss her, the fact that I KNOW ill see her again is what keeps me going. I feel like I don’t have her because she is now physically dead, but spiritually. I’ll always have her, shes probably with me right now. <3
Edit: After posting this, I see I am not the only one who saw the picture is incomplete. I’m glad im not the only one
True, and it’s a touching portrayal, but where are their children? The couple meets, presumably marries but there is no pic of them w/kids and the next-to last shows the widow(er?) visiting the spouse’s grave, followed by their unvisited graves.
:angel1:-Are trees life usually longer than human?
o you see first picture to second picture about 10 years past and tree grew very fast, and the third picture till fifth picture tree not grew yet, Brothers sisters?
