Posted: 8/7/2009 8:08:33 AM | I thought I would ask this question since it was touched upon on another thread. Do you believe there is a limit on love? Like there is some kind of ceiling on it?
Or do you think it is endless.. and comes to us in so very many different forms..

Hi Jim,
Obviously I agree with you there. Why would someone even want to put a ceiling on something so very beautiful to experience.
It really defies my imagination..

Posted: 8/7/2009 10:03:48 AM | Why does all of this have to be encased in the "L" word?
Can not life be endless with adventures, emotions, kindness, concern, and opportunities that are given us from birth to death?
Many many of my adventures have been with those that I cared a great deal for, but were not in love with, and that did not stop the joy of it all, the wonderful times, and sharing that we both had with each other.
For me, I see to many that allow the "L" word to limit themselves, who they are, and with whom they share, and I am not one of those that must tie living and enjoyment to just one term of endearment that can be so different for so many, and not understood overall.
As I climb my mountain of living, love may be at the summit, but the real adventure was the journey getting there...........
Just my opinion.........   | |

You can have two in the boat and one on the line, but no more than six in your possession at any time, including love in transit and storage. There are size limitations as well. I think only one of your loves is allowed to be really big, and any that are very small should be thrown back. It has something to do with the time of year, but I forget the dates.
Your capacity to love others is indeed endless. It's helping them move furniture that puts a practical limit on how the love can be expressed. People who own pick-up trucks learn this before the rest.
As for how big love can get, the size to which it can grow, in any given instance with one person in particular, you're stuck within their capacity to accept it. People won't let you love them bigger than they can fit it into their heart. What's left over gets used for poems. | |

There are many journeys in life that you might choose to take. Really loving what you do will bring you much happiness. It is the drive and the force that propels you forward on a daily basis when one might feel a tad tired and feeling like they cannot go on.
A life without love is surely an empty one. Perhaps one day you will love again. I surround myself with it on a daily basis.

Indeed and one can get greedy when there is so much of it out there.. So many stones you still want to peek under along the way.. Like one huge present that you wish to unwrap slowly that is what life is all about.

Posted: 8/7/2009 10:51:52 AM | Ah yes.....the typical misunderstood definition of the word "love".
Love of life and humanity as a whole is one thing, and one type of love, but being "in love" with another, is a totally different kind of love, and can not be lumped into the same category at all.
So, "A life without love can be an empty one", but loving life and what it has to offer, is far different from loving that one person, and actually falling "in love" with them.
You might surround yourself with a form of love, each and every day, as I do with my family, friends, and humanity, but my life is far from empty, just because I am not "in love" with anyone.
If pity is to reign here, it would be more for misunderstanding the difference.
Just my opinion........ | |

Yes we all do surround ourselves with love on a daily basis. I agree with you there. Life is far from feeling empty when one does that.
As far as romantic love goes one can really count that added blessing as a very special one. Some people unfortunately may never get to experience it in their lifetime.

No that is another issue entirely. Speaking about love in general here and if we have a limited capacity as to how much we can possibly love.

Posted: 8/7/2009 12:38:13 PM | If it's not about unconditional love (which was my first thought) I can't imagine that there is any way to "measure" it... so how can there ever be more than we can handle?
It's a confusing question | |

I never quite understood it myself. However have seen this pop up on threads and once or twice offline as well. Where some men think there is a ceiling or a limit on what or who you can love.
Let me give you an example as it was presented to me once or twice and out of the clear blue.
If you could love me have as much as you love those cats I would be a very happy man. I believe "SOME" men do not like it when women share affection for other people/ pets in their life aside from them.

OK. This makes more sense. But it's not about putting a ceiling or limit on love at all and I don't believe he minds you loving your cats... what he is REALLY saying is that you are not giving him enough... love, attention, affection, time.
Perhaps he feels he's playing second fiddle to the felines. | |

imo, I don't need anyone to be attentive to me 24/7 and I hope like wise. To breath goes both ways in a healthy relationship.
To love and be loved is more then just you and me. now you may groom,feed,love em cats likewise ,as man does this stuff the same way and the most important thing is that we are on the same side. To love each other endlessly is just that,to be free to do your thing, and have respect and confidence in each other, and if you have that then,it is oh so good....imo  | |

I've never seen it presented in that sort of terminology. The distinction here is that I can love continously without end but, unlike the idea of "unconditional love", there are limits that *I* may choose to exercise. It isn't about limits on love itself. It is about limits on whom the individual chooses to express their love to.
To create an analogy - there is a virtually limitless amount of water available to us. But you and I are both free to choose to limit the sharing of our water with others based upon whatever critera we might wish to apply. i.e. just because it is there in limitless supply, that doesn't mean I'm going to give any to you. | |

The two men that said this to me one I dated but once, and the other I never dated? One man I met at a cat show and that was his comment while he watched me groom. The other met me at a cat show and we went out for dinner that evening together. Others I never ever met as online comments on this are quite common. (women with cats) lol

Exactly I would hope my partner had hobbies he really loved as well. We would both supportive of the others interests and fan each others flames. We can bring so much more to a relationship just that way. I am sure I would be interested in some of his hobbies and interests since I love to learn new things.
By the way I got zucchini growing a third plant sprouted today.. My garden is growing and will bear fruit.. lol
