What about love?

How could I have forgotten this song, considering the title of this thread, my brain must really be fried.

Love is never having to say you are sorry.

The love I'm sending ain't makin' it through to (some of) your heart(s). You've been hiding never letting it show, always trying to keep it under control.

Heart has always had my heart.

Ah, and I'll keep sending it regardless. (L) (L) (L)

I loooooooove The Muppets.

He's so dreeeeeeeammmmmmyyyyyyy.

Hee, hee.

The word love may have a zillion definitions and applications

AND

the feeling of love is only one and the same.

What you do with this feeling may be different.

The attitude you wish to show or feel it may be different.

Love:

It gets me into trouble...a lot!

And no matter, I am just me being me wherever I go and in whatever realm I find myself in.

I mean, imagine if...

imagine if you just loved people whether you have known them for a hundred years or if you are just having a transaction with them at a bank or bus stop or gas station or grocery store.

Really, what is the difference?

If one loves, one loves.

As they say in Quebec: that's it, that's all.

Everyone is our soulmate for that moment of real (true) connection.

It's each of us, and what we bring to the table.

Who here has met someone and felt they already knew them; felt that comfortable with them?

Of course!

That's it!

That's what I'm talkin' about...and more, actually.

Even without that feeling of recognition, one can just love the other and show respect, treat with dignity, and be compassionate and helpful.

Help-full.

Know what I mean, jelly bean(s)?

Has anyone seen or read or heard of Osho (see earlier posts)?

No one commented.... :crying:

I still love you all though.

PS Yes, I will get back to the story at some future point.

I have not forgotten...perhaps with a glass of wine in hand to coax the words to flow...hahaha!

(forgive any potential typing errors...I'm n the iPhone thingy)

I have a true story for anyone who may be an insomniac tonight.

It's the rabbit story.

There was this lab doing what they do (you know...torturing animals), and this test was for medecine for those that ate tons of junk food.

So they were feeding all these rabbits horrible, unhealthy food and half of them were getting this new medication.

One night, one of the scientists came back to the lab for a forgotten briefcase and saw the cleaning staff holding and petting the rabbits.

So the scientist asked the cleaners what had they been doing exactly, and they responded with the fact they were being loving only to those rabbits that were not getting medication.

Those rabbits were FAR HEALTHIER then the ones they were treating.

(I should put that last word with quotations around it.)

Now that's what I'm talkin' about!!!!!!!!!!!!

<3

yessssss

I'm disappointed the cleaning staff did not free those rabbits.

And why did they need to come up with a medication ? The simple solution would be to stop bending the elbow. Unfortunately, innocent blood was shed yet again over nonsense.

Pure.

Unconditional.

Have you ever flt that?

It's freakin' beautiful!!!!!!!!!!

Unconditional love is for doormats. I don't like feeling like a doormat.

I don't think unconditional love means that you remain in a relationship with someone who is emotionally or physically abusive, if they aren't willing to change their behavior. Unconditional love is not an absolute even though it may sound that way when taken literally. If it were, then the opposite would be to place every possible condition on your love for your spouse. If they don't give you what you want, you withhold your love. If you get angry with them, you withhold your love.

Right, your love is conditional. Unconditional love is a type of cultural myth like soulmates or 'one enchanted evening'.

Well, I think the term became popular because so many people exit out of their marriages saying they've fallen out of love, or no longer care for their spouse. So there is the other extreme where we place a lot conditions on our love for our spouse.
