Well this is a topic that many before us have discussed.

What is love does it exist, what defines it. Why do we feel the way we do? etc etc, Everyone from to the ancients to the present day has decided for themselves just what it is to them or is not.

I have often found that those who are most angry and bitter about love are actually really still hurting from how a relationship turned out eaither for themselves, thier parents , a close friend, or sybling as opposed to thier having never felt lit for themselves. Worse still are those that feel as if they will never experience the joys and anguish love can bring and no matter how much they want to deny its existance. We should be supoportive as opposed to combative. We should show them that hope still lives. That love is indeed still possible.

I placed the following quote in the religion/philosophy section but it applies here just as much.

In the words of Stewart Chase:


"For those who believe no proof is nessesary, for those who do not no proof is possible."

Or perhaps it is as my favorite poet said so long ago: It is my favorite line of his, and thats probably why I use it as my signiture, it points to the duality of love.

Then said Almitra, Speak to us of Love. And he raised his head and looked upon the people, and there fell a stillness upon them. And with a great voice he said:
When love beckons to you, follow him,Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound thee.
