d. It requires a lot of hard work, devotion, and a mutual understanding that things are rarely as they seem to be. We must be honest about our feelings and do what is best for ourselves. We learned from Helena and Demetrius that we cannot run from love or chase after it. We must be patient and when we are ready, it will come to us. We learned from Rosalind and Orlando that we must be willing to take risks and believe that both partners can bring something to the relationship. Shakespeare wrote about these things several hundred years ago, but they are still true today. His lessons are timeless and we all should read a little more Shakespeare and learn a few things about love and life....
