The term "platonic love" has existed from the very early times: during the lives of Plato and Socrat it was used to denote "chaste but erotic pedagogic friendships with youths", in the fifteenth century people understood it as "a love focused on the beauty of a person’s character and intelligence rather than on their physical charms". And what about the 21 st century? What does it mean now? And does it exist nowadays?
Today this tirm can be defined as an affectonate and spiritual love between persons of two opposite sexes. Some people consider platonic love not to be tied in with our real life, that these are two incompatible things.Other people think that platonic love does exists on the basis of the fact that a woman is not ready to start sexual relationships with a man.
As for my point of view, I think that platonic love can be levelled to a friendship 'cause one doesn't have any sexual contact, just spiritual merging. But sometimes this form of relationships may develop into a perfect feeling. So, noone can predict when you are stroked with a true,sincere love that may suddenly sneak up to you... =)

Is sex sex for the sake of sex without any relation commitment possible?
Nowadays, people are headed for easy relationships, the overwhelming majority of people are intented to its simplification. Many of them forgot what do the words "care" and "tenderness" mean and it became a normal thing. The word "sex" got its liberty: we can watch a range of TV-programmes or read a lot of various articles written on this topic, everybody openly discuss it. On the one hand, it's good: you have an access to all the information you need, but if we look at this from the other side, we see that the part of human nature lost its right on privacy,it's naked. And so,coming up to the posed question I can give the answer:"Of course,naturally there's a sex without any relation commitment, and I don't judge those people who do it,but,personally I, wouldn't have a sexual contact with a man who I don't love".

Why does Emma regretted about her wedding? Have you ever regretted of anything you have done?
Emma regretted 'cause she was in two minds about her step, she didn't know whether she acted in a right way, may be she was in a hurry and could find a better man. She was afraid of being unhappy in the marriage, not share love with her husband. She might have frightened that her life wasn't so interesting, full of freedom. It's difficult to judge her action.
Pshychologyst are saying unanimously one thing: "Never regret about what you've done" . I'm a kind of person who plans his actions and sees the result of them. But,anyway, sometimes I regret that this or that thing I could do in a right way... That is our life, it consists of trials and mistakes.

“The book that has taught me a lot”
Everybody will start telling about the book, but let me, please, tell you about the story that affected and touched my mind. It’s called “Matrenin dvor” written by Solgenicin .
The main character of the story is a simple, old and single lady Matrena Vasiljevna. Her life has never been easy, so many sufferings fell to her lot – limping cat and dirty-white goat. She had to steal peat from the bog to heat her house (there wasn’t allowed to sell peat to local habitants of the village) ; it wasn’t so easy to drag those heavy sacks each day. Overmore, all the six children died not having lived till the age of three months, her husband didn’t return from the war and because of it, all the habitants considered her to be cursed. But this woman finds the strength to grin and bear it, staying kind, responsive and merciful. She gives her all to her relatives and other people, not leaving the time for herself, for housekeeping. Everybody turns to her for help and she doesn’t refuse to give it, she dedicated herself unselfishly to people not demanding anything in exchange even gratitude. She brings up and cares of Kira (the daughter of her ex-lover’s brother Faddey). She decided to give her a house. Matrena’s relatives were in a hurry to share her house and the result of the greedy and selfishness was the death of the main character. Her neighbours judge her instead of understanding.
Such kind of people as Matrena are still living among us working kindness and wonders, finding their happiness and predestination in devotion.

What does parental care mean for you? Are there any words you desire to tell them, but you're not able to tell them?
Parents are the most important and precious people in the life of each person. We can’t imagine our life without those people who gave us a birth, who has cared and coddled us from the very beginning of our life and who gave their all to make us PEOPLE. But, unfortunately, many of children don’t want to estimate this contribution even being mature. And sometimes, they reproach their parents for minor things, jeer at them not thinking about the fact that somewhere in the streets there are many left homeless children, some in children's home waiting for their new parents, for that lacking care…
Speaking about me, yeah…I’m not an angel - sometimes I behave in incorrect way and then regret about it. Anyway, I’m growing older, I have my own opinion that is a bit different from theirs, but it’s MINE. From time to time, there quarrels appear betwen us 'cause of this reason: I prove my truth, they – theirs… There are situations when I’m right and those when life persuades me that my parents were right, they’re not mistaken in this or that question, but it’s too late…All went wrong without my stubbornness, without my unwillingness to understand that they LOVE and CARE about me – I’m not a person from outside for them, and it’s a natural thing that they’re worrying about me. Just at this sad moment I realize what does parental care means for me. It’s something irreplaceable that’ll always be with me, giving joy and warmth, that won’t betray my trust. This is the thing that means MUCH to me and I will not for the world sell it.
Rounding up my composition, I want to turn to my parents and tell them: “My dearest, I love you strongly and deeply, I’m grateful that you gave me a birth, that you put your heart, soul and money into my bringing up, development, I appreciate your support very much. Please, forgive your mischievous and disobedient child for all the pranks, I didn’t mean to hurt you, really…”
