I always ask people if love lasts forever. My mom says it does not...she says you can love someone for a period of time and feel like you could do anything for them and then not feel that way afterwards.
I look at divorces very curiously because I always think to myself that despite their shitty relationship right now, this couple that is fighting and arguing all the time...they were once "in love"...madly and deeply in love. They once believed in a lifetime together, they once envisioned a forever together, a marriage that would last the rest of their lives.
I always ask people that question..."Does love last forever?" I ask so I can hear what they say and why they say it, but I already have my own answer. To me, it does...it must...or how else could you distinguish the difference between like and love?

ReplyDeleteThat's what I learned from this whole retreat on love. There are many imitations of love. There are feelings that we often times label as love but are merely affection. The real love, it seems to me is the kind that endures after the dust has settled. This sounds like roller blade conversation. :o)
