And if we try hard to remember, we start noticing this is just an illusion. An illusion with great utility no doubt.  The etymology of all words and phrases is rooted in a mythical or symbolic manifestation of the actual things. Because before then there was no other way to speak about the...

Later the sister told the step parents about the boy and the girls love and how the boy was a criminal drug taker. The girls weak father was doing the bidding of the sisters mother who wore the trousers.  He told the boy not to see his daughter. But the they stayed together in secret. Well that's what they thought. Something was happening in the background. It was putting a huge strain on the lovers secret lives. Who knows what it was? In the end the boy had had enough and told the girl he was leaving. A big thing for both. But the boy insisted.
