Thread Name: BS: what is love
Subject: RE: BS: what is love
Love is when one is willing do things harmful to one's own interest for another's ( presumed) happiness.
Stephen Crane
In the Desert
In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, "Is it good, friend?"
"It is bitter – bitter", he answered,
"But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart."
