Why did you evaluate that I flatly ignored it when I clearly stated from the beginning that I don't have a clue?

Boy meets girl from wrong side of the tracks.
Boy mustn't love girl, yet boy cannot help himself.
Boy eschews his side of the tracks to pursue girl on wrong side of the tracks, to disastrous results: boy loses everything valuable only to end with value-less girl.
True love, or tragedy?

Love can be beyond the value setting.
One can still love deeply one who has lost external value.
That is perhaps the trues love of all.
True tragedy requires a true love.
From him it is true love. The tragedy may be that it is not returned,
but only maybe.
For even the valueless can love deeply still.
A seeker was looking everywhere for a great Zen master, renowned all round for his incisive wisdom and wonderful enlightenement.
He eventually found a group of monks and asked where the Buddha-like master was.
They said he was beneath the bridge amongst a group of tramps.
But then they said,"You will find him hard to pick out. Here take a melon with you. He's the one who will snatch it quickly out of your hands, and begin to eat.
The Master loves melons."
