] Date Posted: 17/01/07 13:27 In reply to: sweetsong 's message, "' i love you'" on 15/01/07 14:10 it is a different thing showing someone love, acting with love and loving someone because you are prepared to stand by them through thick and thin for always. for me love is like that which i give my siblings and my parents and will my children. always. i think the words 'i love you' can suggest a devotion. perhaps not among spiritual pagans but in the outside world away from that. it is why you don't say 'i love you' to a new boyfriend until you are SURE you can be dedicated to them!!!!! i just want you to realise that it isn't just me that thinks like this. it is pretty common in life. if i was to tell most of the friends I have that i love them it would be very inappropriate and could end up putting divisions in my way or them avoiding me in future or having them think they owe me something. the only person i knew here briefly was zenwind we are colleagues who worked on a project together. i think she (you) are great zenwind and inspiring and one of the most mature people i have met. but it would be wrong of me to say i love you even though you are great and very loveable. i don't love you like my siblings or parents and as such when i moved to a diferetn place we were in less contact and that was OK. if i had said i loved you then you could have got hurt when you realised my love was in name only. i think i am going to leave this forum as in the world i live in life just doesn't work this way here. if it did i would be fine!!!!!

Date Posted: 17/01/07 15:21 Dont walk away sweetsong Whatever our differences of opinion here in the Garden, there is a place for everyone. We are all different in many ways but we have a common respect and understanding for each other. This includes you. I have never known a more welcoming place and we would miss you if you didnt come and talk to us anymore. Its life that not everyone will agree with you but that doesnt mean that you shouldnt continue talking to them, as long as things are discussed in a sensible, grown up way like here in the Garden. No one thinks badly of you because you have a different view of love. As Newy says, love is whatever YOU want it to be. By all means share your thoughts but at the end of the day its what you believe and feel that really matters. Stay true to your beliefs but keep an open mind - we all have an opinion and it would be a dull world if we all had the same thoughts and feelings. Please keep in touch.
