Why are people so stupid?

Hello, my dear. I decided to change your style. In my opinion it will reflect your content better.
So, your content. Two children grew up together... They spent all their time playing and communicating with each other... What usually can happen in these cases? Of course , they fell in love. Oh, forgot to tell you more about these children. Catherine and her brother, Hereton, lived in Wuthering Heights. Everything was OK till their father brought an orphan-gipsy in their home. It was Heatchliff. He was wild, but kind-hearted and smart, but these features were deeeeep in his soul end only Catherine could expose them. So, it was spontaneous, wild, reckless love...
  But WHY are people so stupid? Read it and you understand it yourself.
-" Nelly, will you keep a secret for me?"
-"Is it worth keeping?"
-"Yes, and it worries me. Today EDGAR LINTON has asked me to marry him, and I've given him an answer.
-Why do you love him, Miss Cathy?
-Nonsense, I do - that's sufficient.
- By no means, you must say why?
-Well, because he is handsome and pleasant to be with.
-Bad!
-And he is young and cheerful.
-Bad!
-And because he loves me.
-Indifferent, coming here.
- And he will be rich and I shall like to be the greatest woman of the  the neighbourhood and I shall be proud of having such a husband.
-Worst of all. And now say how do you love him?
-As everybody loves. You are silly, Nelly.

Then she began to tell Nelly her dream : she was in a paradise, but she wanted to come back to earth and even brought her leg to do it. Paradise was Linton. Earth was Heatchliff. And when she spoke about Heatchliff she said that- " I love him not because he is handsome, but he is more myself than I am.Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same."

So, it was a mistake which gave birth to many worries in her and his fates, and not only,for everybody in their house it was a great mistake. Why did she yield to cold account? She understood her feelings but why did not she listen to it? She behaved herself as a child who chose a sweet in bright cover...

  1. Masha,
    such a great question it is! But she was not so grown up at that time she made her decision as I remember. Sometimes experienced people cannot look into themselves right. So how could the young girl find the right way without any help?
