Their love

[Letti]

Here's a good question:

If he hadn't met Susan, would he still have been as obsessed with getting to the tower or do you think this is a vengeance quest, to make meaning out of Susan's death?

I am not a ka person but I say the Tower would have found its way to Roland. Roland is that type of guy who needs to be hooked on something big. Something he can chase in his whole life.

[Letti]

I am sure we won't agree and however I agree with Brice that love is love I still think that one's love is hotter and deeper and the other's can be light or just not as deep as the other one's.

Roland.
Susan.

Who was more crazy about the other one?

[Jean]

oh, I finally see, that's where we disagree! In my universe, love is an absolute notion, without degrees. As soon as degrees are introduced, I feel it necessary to look for another word.

[Darkthoughts]

I thought they were both equally involved in each other.

To be honest, when I came into this thread I thought it was going to be about Susan and Roland vs Rosalita and Roland. I thought Rosa and Roland's love was a more mature and relaxed relationship, whereas I think had Susan and Roland stayed together, their relationship would've been quite turbulent due to their personalities.

[Letti]

Lisa, that would be a great thread. I mean Roland ans Rosalita's love.

Jean,
we disagree everywhere.


So,
I used to be in love with a guy who told me he loved me. I was absolutely crazy about him. I think I have talked about it before I wouldn't like to get into details but when I say I was crazy about him I mean it word by word (poor little Letti).
I don't say he didn't love me he did and he told me it quite often but in fact his band his dog and... everything was more important than me. He didn't give a damn about me. I was like... a favourite toy or something.
Jean, I would like to see your point. Do you say that we loved each other the same way OR his love was not love but something else and we shouldn't use the word "love" at all in this case?

[Jean]

maybe your words "I was crazy about him" and "I was like a favorite toy" describe the attitudes of both sides very well... I am only trying to be specific, and avoid generic words whenever possible.

[Letti]

I see your point very well Jean but I don't think we have the right to say that oh yes my love is love but yours is something else. Because love is this and this and look what you feel...
I think love has many many faces.

[Jean]

I don't see how any word of your last post disagrees with anything I ever said.

[Letti]

*gets confused* I might be just tired.... *unsure*

[Letti]

*smiles widely*
One day Jean it will turn out that we are like twins, Jean...


Let's see what others think. *sits down and waits*

[Brice]

oh, I finally see, that's where we disagree! In my universe, love is an absolute notion, without degrees. As soon as degrees are introduced, I feel it necessary to look for another word.

And yet, it is not where we disagree. I believe in love as an absolute also... as you said there are no degrees. I just think it manifests in innumerable ways. None greater. None less. Just love.

I've said it before in other threads, so here it is. I feel Rolands love was deeper, fore he carried her memory for the rest of his days. But, Susan was the one who needed Roland more. She had been through, and was currently in, hard times, and she needed someone to hold her to sanoty.

[Storyslinger]

That seems to be a perfect description of him. Needs something big to chase....., I like it.

[Letti]

I've said it before in other threads, so here it is.

You have given me the thread idea.

[Storyslinger]

I see,

[Darkthoughts]

Well, to be obtuse, I don't think thats a very good basis for comparison Story - susan loved Roland 'til the end of her days too...unfortunately her days were markedly numbered

[Storyslinger]

Yes, that may be a bit on the strong side. I just felt, that Roland actually cared for her more, and she, like I said, just needed someone to hold her together. Then agian, they say you first love is the truest

*shrugs shoulders*

[LadyHitchhiker]

So his addiction was deeper than Eddie's... hmmm.. I like that.

[Matt]

I think if Eddie had a baboon, Roland had a Rhino.

[Sinistar]

So if Susan didn't have those internal issues, then Roland would've been less appealing to her? Maybe less of a forbidden fruit, per se? I'm sooooo confused!!!!

[alinda]

Love is Love ......ahhhh amore!

[Darkthoughts]

Story - what I actually meant was, if you're judging how deep Roland's love for her was by his lasting memory of that love - then it's an unfair comparison because we can't measure Susan's love by time (because she died.)

Sinistar - I don't think Roland was forbidden fruit, more he just represented the things she craved in life.
