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.

Date Posted: 17/01/07 19:36 Sweetsong, Please stay! You're a cool lady and I very much hope you stick around. "which is why you don't say 'i love you' to a new boyfriend until you are SURE you can be dedicated to them" The word 'Love' is a very loaded term for many, means different things to different people and in different contexts. I admire how caring you are in that you don't want to give someone the wrong impression of your feeling for them. Some people do have expectations attached to those words and can get hurt that way. I think the feeling of romance or lust can also be mistaken as love. Many of us long to be loved for 'real' by that special soulmate, many of us fear that the 'true' love we have may be withdrawn somehow at a moments notice, while others feel love is within us and can never be removed or given as we are all that love itself! And many shades in between all that! tee hee. I cannot even adequately describe what I mean when I use the term love. The experience of wisdom is another one I haven't the words for. For most of my most 'meaningful' experiences in life, there just aren't the words available! Language just can't explain it. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Labels just can't quite say what happens in the tin. namaste zenwind [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
