A Round Table Lesson or Two

Some of my favorite books are stacked under the glass round table in the living room. I like to look down through the top layer of glass at their titles.

Sometimes the titles change because I remember another favorite and put that on the top of the stack.

I love Jane Eyre and Gone With the Wind and have read them countless times. Jane always made me feel bad for her when she discovered the hidden mystery and was forced to leave the man she came to love; Mr. Rochester. I was so hopeful in my youth and this plot just crushed me. It was comforting that she came back to her beloved and found the tragic state he was left in and still loved him. Jane's sense of honor or propriety was admirable. I felt Edward's desolation at Jane's abandonment of him after her discovery and Edward's actions taught me the lesson that you can't begin a relationship based on a lie, no matter how much you want someone.

The book taught me that you should always end a relationship before beginning a new one. That was a different time and place and many relationships begin under false pretenses as well as begin too soon causing their own downfall.

With poor Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, my only advise is be watchful; what you want may be right in front of you and sometimes we recognize this too late.

The other, and most favorite book is the Bible and I keep reading that because we haven't reached the end yet.
