  2. Question 6
    The sorrows of love and war are similar. In both, you run in naive yet hopeful. You may feel strongly about your emotions in the start but they could slowly dissipate. Feelings that you would once swear and die by may now be feelings of regret. Both are a battleground of emotions. The sorrows of love and war are very similar.
