confusion

and

bewilderment

caused

by

giving

birth to and raising

babies. and our minds were supposed to be fully occupied by

how to feed the

babies

and

things

like

that.

However,

in

the

midst

of

all

this

we still felt the need

to discuss some of the important thinkers of our time like

Simone de Beauvoir

and

Arthur

Koestler

and

T.

S.

Eliot's

sophisticated

work

The

Cocktail Party.

experienced

the

worst

together

and

they

knew

what

it

was like and

understood

the

meaning

of

that

experience.

Such

an

experience

posed the gravest

test to people. If they stood the test, their friendship or

their

relationship

would

be

broken

and

they

would be driven

apart.

they

acted

on

love,

they

would
