Answer:
Love is a very special thing that people pursue with one another. Whether it is with friends, family, or romantic love it can all be complicated. Especially with "false actions." Often we feel inadequate and make up for it, often by pretending to be something we're not. <em>True </em>love is very special and, personally, I think it is when you can completely be yourself. Where none of you is hidden, where there is nothing "fake." But getting there can be a long journey, especially with "false actions."
Explanation:
Suppose you meet someone and are posing as something you're not. Suppose you continue to spend time with them, and fall in love. All the while you've been posing as something you're not. You want to tell them but you fear they might lose interest or fall out of love. Now you are in a very complicated situation all because of "fake actions."
I don't know if this is what you were looking for and I hope it helps.
Answer:
It was very low inside the house, and so dim, with the closed blinds, that they could scarcely see one another;
Her father standing decorously apart with his hat on his forearm, as at funerals; a woman rested in a deep arm-chair, and the woman who had let the strangers in stood behind the chair.
<em>Editha</em>, by William Dean Howells, is an antiwar story published in 1905. Its characters are people who greatly value custom and ritual, even when it is objectively inconvenient or awkward for them to do so.
The two chosen lines exemplify that character trait. In the first sentence, the house has the blinds closed, as was common for houses where the family had recently experienced a loss or a tragedy. This rule is followed, even though it meant that the characters were barely able to see each other.
The second sentence has a similar example, as Edith's father stands at a distance and with his hat in his hands. We are told this is the way it is done at funerals, which is consistent with the previous sentence and with the character's personality traits.
