Love
by jojo52 @ 2006-02-16 - 16:15:23

“We are not the same persons this year as last; nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person.”- Maugham

Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds, to borrow a line from Shakespeare.

Hm, thought provoking, but does also lead to the question 'What is love?'

Love has many guises and is mis-called over and over.

Love is in the hand that cups an injured creature but also in the hand that draws back for fear of causing further hurt.

Love is a quiet and modest animal that walks in us all.

The other thing is just lust!

But back to the quote, your thoughts............?

my cat loves me regardless, even IF I'm out of wet cat food and she has to have kibble. Hubby and I are growing increasingly cranky together so we recognise each other's faults Aged P loves me whatever, the hardest love to bear as I am NO WAY faultless. He lives on the other side of the "pond" so I'm forever young in his eyes. Kids love me because... they are expected? to?? Son tolerates me, daughter is becoming more sympathetic of what feminine love entails (sprogs are 21 and 19 respectively)
Interesting thought processes set in train there, thanks for that!

Sounds about right re sprogs, mine are 16 and 22 and 'tolerate' is my boy all over. The girlie is younger but considerably the most mature member of our household!

I was pondering the different kinds of meaning we apply to the word love after a conversation with a friend about lust. Still it is a nice train of thought to be riding.
