"To love is to receive a glimpse of heaven."

Yep, for sure, I feel alot of love when someone is considerate.

I luv my honey.

I hear a lot of people saying "Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all"...I don't agree, I loved and lost and find it to be more detrimental to me than to of never loved at all. Love is a useless emotion, it does not permit survival if anything it is detrimental to survival as well. Love is right up there with hate, a waste of time.

I don't have a man, but I love my daughters! I think the love a mommy has for her children is the purest love of all.

To feel hated is like receiving a glimpse from Hell.;(

Im with ya Toots, I was thinking of my son when I posted too, but I thought, LOl I talk about him all the time.. but faux shaux, I agree, thats the best love I can think of as well.

Sorry you feel that way, Fear.

I've definitely loved and lost (going through a divorce of a 12-year marriage, and just last week broke up with someone I was in love with and was very serious with). It hurts, to be sure, but I have never felt like I wished I had never met that person. Sure, they all had moments of being an @ss and treating me like crap and completely hurting my feelings, which is why the relationship ended. However, each person I have loved has enriched my life, taught me something, and I am a better person for having known them.

I'm not saying I wouldn't of liked to meet them, if love had never entered the picture I would still be good friends with them...however, love did enter and become a part of the relationship and here I am...one less friend, and jaded just a bit more.

True love is the total selfless quest, drive, passion to forget the self in the arms of another. To know one's self in the eyes of another and to have that self, acknowledged as good. An enchanted mirror of our self, expressed by another, who only sees the good within or only brings out the good within.

True Love is an illusion of our desires, both physically & mentally, that cardinal knowledge, brings something deeper than the mere act of joining bodies in motion. That sex is the blissful reward of knowing someone's soul. Mostly always, an illusion of the moment but when the illusion lasts, it becomes a truth that echoes within that person's life until the day they die.

well put ask

Thank You ma'am.

that's really quite poetic and beautiful

however, i don't think love is seeing only the good in another, but rather seeing the faults and still loving them - not in spite of the faults, or even because of them, but just because they are an integral part of the entire person.

"honor and cherish them in sickness and in health, until death do they part" That's love!

Absolutely correct. Thank you for enlightening me about the loop-holes in what i wrote. I fully agree with you.

This is what the forums is for.........to learn from one another.

Cook for me, always be honest, never cheat, respect me, keep the nagging to a minimum, don't move my stuff & don't touch the remote

And give the occasional spontaneous BJ.

Absolutely

Oh...you only want them occasionally? Ok, good to know. I'll try and scale back.

No... I want them all the time, but the spontaneous ones are the best.

You mean like if we were at Disney World, and had just gotten off the Splash Mountain ride, and I randomly grabbed your hand and pulled you into the companion bathroom and locked the door?
