I rather live then love. Love is different for everyone just by reading this thread but living for me is just a lot more simple then love.

Well, that's all well and good Lara, but it seems the author never had to deal with an ex-husband
Kidding.

I do think love real comes through transcendence of the feeling of it, ultimately.

Cheshire - interesting...living/love...what's the difference, really?

you may ask, what does this have to do with love...i say...perhaps everything


marianne willims
a return to love


Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves,
"Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?"

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some of us; it is in all of us, in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

Living is something that just comes natural for me because I have control over my choices but love..I have no control over love and I don't want any control over it..atleast thats what Im feeling right now. I've got my own idea of love just like everyone else but I don't know if it's right or wrong or maybe Im just a starry eye teen.

You just can't control love and from my personal experience and observing friends and family around me, we want so bad to control it but it's something that can't be controlled unlike attraction. We can control attraction to a certain extent, I know for a fact I am not attracted to "bad boys" but whose to say I will not fall in love with a "bad boy" one day? I guess Im trying to explain this the best way I can as an anylatical Virgo creature and also as a teen.

i just caught the thread...

i would like to thank you Taurus for sharing that... it is the surmise of all the loose ends that have been unsettling my soul as of late. You have given me the key to a door of enlightenment and understanding, one of which i have been scratching bloodily for some time. Thankyou.

Every lover is without shame,

because love is unashamed;

bestial and untamed;

willful beyond reckoning.

Love has its way.

When you find that right partner/or connection.
It is like coming home
to someone you have known forever.
It is so right that,
There is not doubt, no question,
It just is.

And cool!
You spelled Lexigrams as Lexigrammes!
My spelling of it since 1959!
I did not know of Linda's interest in them until March 2005.

PS.
LOVE SIGNS

ENDEARMENTS and SOUL MATES

PPS.This line has an "A" in it.
A MATE, A SOUL OASES MET.

Maybe it was an older unrevised version you saw I missed revising?

Wow. Are all men devoid of free will or just the man she loved-hated? Or put another way, do all women have that power over men that what men do is because of how much she loves him even when he can't actually sense it, or was this woman uniquely magical?

Maybe the abusers are right, the ones who ask wives and children and the like, "Why do you make me do this?" as he rains down violence and cruelty. All this time I thought such people were monsters who refused to take responsibility for themselves and their lack of impulse control but maybe they were just teaching spiritual lessons to women who needed to learn to love unconditionally, because it really is her fault if she's not happy with his behavior?

And maybe when a woman falls for a jerk and an abuser she should show him unconditional love just like in Beauty and the Beast (or Twilight or countless other romances) because that reflects real life no matter how much common sense dictates otherwise? All she has to do is love unconditionally, no matter how he acts, and the beast will turn into a prince...

After all, Florence Shinn couldn't be wrong...
