Lots of interesting points in this thread, but a main positive one that sometimes gets overshadowed is the bliss of loving someone more than yourself, being so attracted and mesmerized by another being that you would do anything for her or him.
Ideally that would be reciprocated, although as my wise momma once told me early in life, long before I realized what it meant, "One loves and the other is loved," meaning, "One member of a couple always loves more than the other one."
That may be true but I have always resisted examining that in any detail because one illusion I need to keep is the possibility of two people absolutely loving each other beyond all else (dunno what that means, but shur sounds purty).
Good post. and in my experience your momma is truely a wise woman.
You can also add to that . "the person who cares the least about a relationship is the one that has the majority of control."
Its rare two people love each other absolutely at the same level.
It does happen. I've seen it. But it by far not the norm.
While not exclusively
Typically that kind of relationship doesnt include children in the equasion.
I've come to the conclusion the only absolute love is that a parent feels for his or her child. Usually women moreso then men.
As far as a womans love for a man is concerned.
I've learned what a wise man once told me.
"Never trust anything that can bleed for 7 days and not die."
Women in general are at best inconsistant. And they are damn good at it.
They weild it like a champion swordsman using every move at their disposal to get what they want. Often at mens expence
If you want absolute dependability and undying loyalty to you. Get a dog
If you want to be driven absolutely bonkers and live your live as if you were in a neverending 6 dimentional maze. Fall in love with a woman.
Two popular John Wayne quotes about summerise women
"Women. I havent met one yet that was half as reliable as a horse"
"I taught you what to do when the snow comes, how to survive in a blizzard. And, I taught you how to deal with men, but women, nobody knows what's on a woman's mind."
the reason they are popular. Just like any good comedy.
they are based in truth
