Key words. I can agree when it's put it that way. But to me, Roland being willing to let her move on with another man does not conclusively prove that he stopped caring or no longer meant to take...

Well, if it would have hurt her deeply, that suggests that at least Susan really cared. I guess that maybe I just don't understand love relationships in quite the same way that many others regard...

Wow, well it seems that I can sense it when someone revives an old thread even when I'm not online. Just remembered this one for no apparent reason yesterday. Welcome. :)

I don't think that...

He might not have been after depth but it must have been in the hat. I mean I don't think their love would have been longer than 7 days if he hadn't found any value in her.[/QUOTE] I didn't mean no...

In that case, his problem might be that he has never liked himself, and God only knows if he should.

DO you mean that you don't think that it was even hot?

Beyond the poll, anyway, what about this? --
Is Roland's whole problem merely that, after the fact, he can't take the blow to his ego that'd...

What an excellent post.
I love the way you think and write about things. It's a real pleasure to read your words. Not because I agree with most of them but because you have a really nice way to...

Once more, it was an interesting post, Darkthoughts. I know that there was more to it than what I've just quoted, and you have, in fact, made a number of good points on this thread. I just think...

True. Though to my mind, that's to do with the mentality of a person and a not a definition of love. [/QUOTE]You're right, it is not to do with the definition of "love." It is to do with the...

Well, get well soon. Very glad to hear that you're keeping this in mind. :D
>>Sending goodmind<< :)

I still don't understand what you are specifically referring to in regards to what I had written. Eliot, as well as many early modernist, returned to the classics to find a more stable morality in...

Well, now, we're about to get neurotic. No criticism intended. No need for us to continue to apologize for having apologized. I think it's fine.

I respect that, very much.
I also like the...

Agreed; terrific contribution. :thumbsup:Of course, I don't want to pry into your personal life; it's only that you and Brice both sounded pretty defensive here. I agree with all you posted, Ryan,...

Whew! You know, Ryan; you and I have much in common. Brice means well, though. Thanks for the back-up, but I actually think that the great philosopher who said it best was Silent Bob:

"Entirely subjective" is an oxymoron, and "no limits" is a double negative.

Anyway, I grant that it can be confusing. Language is very subjective. It is true that I can't say how you feel or how...

But "romantic love" doesn't just mean any mating couple; it is an entire social construct based upon the outlook of the ancient Romans. If we're talking about effortless harmony through the...

That's okay, Letti. I don't always choose the best words, either. :couple:
You're right, I think; all that any mortal can do is to keep trying to get closer to the real truth, and to keep trying to...

My heart and my soul.
The best years of my life.
Blood and sweat and tears.
I think that I have earned the right to have my own opinion.


It would be fair to simply say who made the most...
