If you have ever been in love you know that love is uncomfortable. Irritating. Overwhelming and yet very selfish at the same time.


Yes, at least I would say that, an argument could be made that love, any type of love, is a dis-ease; A non-sustainable aberration of a falsely perceived reality.

Do you love me? Do you love who I am?

You say you don't know who you are, so what is all this 'me' and 'I'?

I don't get what you are trying to communicate.

To be frank, Bill, you don't love you, or who you are. So, what loveable part of you do you hope others will see that you can't?

I don't think love is a disease but I do know how to love and the only way to do it properly is to love someone more than they love you. I know you cynics out there will argue with me, because you will stupidly think I am talking about smothering someone, but I am not.

What I am talking about is a personal thing.

Love, don't love, or love half assed...it doesn't matter...it will all hurt in the end (ha ha...no pun intended :D ).

My philosophy is ya might as well love to your heart's content...at least you'll be happy for a moment.

Would you say that the connubial relationship in Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf, a love story?

Love is not always benign/hearts and roses, it can be whacked-out depravity.

I haven't seen that movie, reason. So I can't speak about ty that...

My husband and I are aging. Death or worse is facing us more closely than it has in the past. Never thought of love lasting til death do us part and all that entails until now.

We always consider sex as love.

What if, as we grow older, the concept of sex...or rather love, is replaced by empathy?

What if empathy is actually closer to a pure love than the sex/love continuum?




Why is sex ALWAYS tied to hate?...and to humor?
