My thoughts, from a reply to raoin's journal

'"Real Love vs. True Love.

"thoughts - comments - ideas - questions - statements - general grumblings - etc."

1)Love, if it's True, doesn't need an answer. You can love someone with all of your heart, tell them this, and, if it is true, that will never change, no matter what they say to you.

2)You cannot be "In Love WITH" someone, if they don't love you, in approximately the same manner, and intensity. The other is Love {ing}, or Lust{ing}, or Infatuation.

3)Truth is the Anathema or AquaVitae of Love. Your love will either grow or die by how open and willing to hear the truth from and about each other you (the involved parties) are.

4)Love Finds it's Proper Course. Love is different for everyone, and shows itself, and the ways it needs to Thrive, differently, For Everyone.

5)Real love is a True idea. True love is a Real idea. Neither of them need any more than that to do what they have always done: Destroy empires, raise families, write sonnets, kill millions... Move the World, in their various Ways.

And that's all i have to say about that...'

If you want to talk about this, feel free to do so, here, but raoin initially asked the question, so it'd probably be proper to answer it there. I'm sure she'd welcome it. She likes people.

{My response to Rosie, on raoin's: 'Well, most people don't know my views on Love. They know love's views on me, and my reactions. I Like Love. I LOVE Love. It makes beautiful things happen.

'The problem arises from the fact that i don't think that Love is the Only Motivating factor in the universe. And Love doesn't like to take second-- or, rather Share First-- place.'}
