“What does psychological research tell us about ‘egocentrism’ in young children?” “Egocentrism is the tendency of children to cognize their environment only in terms of their own point of view” (Castillo‚ R.J‚ 1954).

When he says‚ ""My love and my Faith‚"" he is using his wife as a symbol and is really referring to his love and faith in God. He goes on

Young love is the best kind of love. A love with no worries‚ and no limits‚ a love everyone wish to keep forever. But sometimes‚ young love can blind us and lead to consequences in our future. The Passionate Shepherd to His Love‚ and the Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd‚ is two similar poems with different meanings about how to look at young love. So should we “seize the day” and enjoy the moment without worrying about the future‚ or should we be realistic and know that things will change eventually
