Love is what we feel for our neighbour....whether he/she abuses us or maltreats us or what? I love even those who attack me....am I right or wrong? Best wishes to all, Mike. |

I attack those who think they know all the answers. I attack those who pretend they have "Mudcat" in their pocket......I attack those who....well you work it out!!!!!. Do I really need to watch my back....NO I don't. Best wishes, Mike. |

Perhaps their is a greater power than you....no not me but certainly a greater power than you...want to try it out? Let's see where the power really comes from. Love is all. What does it feel like to be loved. Really loved.....all of you. Best wishes, Mike. |

23 Feb 05 - 06:53 PM (#1419003) Subject: RE: BS: The thread of love From: Azizi "Love" is a word that is sooo overworked in American culture.. "Love" is used to refer to strong positive feelings we have for family, friends, significant others, our self & humanity in general [loving our neighbor as ourself]. We also are called upon [and many of us do]love God, and books, and music, and food, and desserts, and sports teams, and good sex, and you name it.. I remember one poet saying that we should "love all the things that make us strong" . I interprete this to mean that we should appreciate [and learn] from difficult experiences.. While I wouldn't use the word "love" there, I think the poet {Amiri Baraka/LeRoi Jones}has a point... Maybe we need more precise words to describe these emotions... I'd love that. |

23 Feb 05 - 11:11 PM (#1419208) Subject: RE: BS: The thread of love From: Little Hawk Agape is a good word. The main problem with "love" in this society is that it's mostly used in connection with sexual romance...to the exclusion of many other possibilities. |

23 Feb 05 - 11:25 PM (#1419224) Subject: RE: BS: The thread of love From: CarolC I am not defensive but attacking... Is it really love though if you're doing it to score points? That doesn't seem very unconditional to me. |

24 Feb 05 - 04:01 AM (#1419317) Subject: RE: BS: The thread of love From: Georgiansilver Attacking the lack of love shown by some....not to score points. If we all showed the kind of love we are capable of for each other then surely the world would be so much better....why not start it here?....mmmmmmm could it or would it start here? Best wishes.
