001 Absence makes the hearts grow fonder
It's curiously interesting that we appreciate little what we have and long for what we have not. And , to some people, tbe bird in the brush always seems to be more temping than the one in the hand. As for some couples, people at times care more for his room than his company therefore. When one is present, we treasure little his presence; and when one is away, we crave for more fo seeing the absent person, hence the proverb:" Absence makes the heart grow fonder."  Therefore, if you want your beloved to love you more than ever, take my advice: Get away from him or her and it will certainly help pile up his or her love of you!<br>[em33]

002 The absent are always in the wrong.
  Who are always in the wrong? It is certianly those who are absent. If you observe how people bad-mouth other people behind their backs, you may find that the present are always nagging at those that are absent from the spot, as if they were too wrong to be put uup with. The proverb that "The absent are always in the wrong" ironically reflects this state of affair. As one writer sarcastically says:" If you cannot resist the temptation of finding fault with someone, those who are absent can be your best targets, for they are always in the wrong and they can never give you a back talk!"
