] Date Posted: 17/01/07 19:36 In reply to: sweetsong 's message, "' i love you'" on 15/01/07 14:10 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 Many of us long to be loved for 'real' by that special soulmate, many of us fear that the 'true' love we have may be withdrawn somehow at a moments notice, while others feel love is within us and can never be removed or given as we are all that love itself!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 [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 18/01/07 0:39 I'm sorry you feel this way sweetsong, and I hope you choose not to leave the Garden - as Lil said, we all have different opinions, (we're all individuals) which just makes life more colourful and interesting :) "for me love is like that which i give my siblings and my parents and will my children. always." As Zenwind and others have said, Love means different things for different people - as does family for me. I have a very small 'blood-family', and for me family transcends blood and DNA. I have 'soul-brothers / sisters' who I would extend the same level and kind of love as you might to your 'blood-family.' There is no right or wrong here sweetsong - but please don't close yourself off from the possibility of love. Namaste whitewolf [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
