RE: Smoking

Anna, I am over 8 yrs off them and I would not dream of smoking one.
I loved my cigarette and would draw the smoke straight into my toes especially when doing paperwork. I don’t think the craving ever goes away!
dunno

RE: A Song That Tells A Good Story

Open up your door
Song by Richard Hawley

Open up your door
I can't see your face no more
Love is so hard to find
And even harder to define
Oh, open up your door
Cos we've time to give
And I'm feeling it so much more
Open up the door
Open up your door
Open up the door
I can't hear your voice no more
I just want to make you smile
Maybe stay with you awhile
Oh, open up your door
Cos we've time to give
And my feelings aren't so obscure
Open up the door
Open up your door
So open up the door
Cos we've time to give
And I'm feeling it so much more
Open up your door
Oh, open up your door
Love is so hard to find
And even harder to define
Oh, open up your door
And I've never been so sure
Oh, open up your door
Open up your door
Songwriters: Richard Willis Hawley

Do you believe that Love is a selfish emotion?

thumbs up

Do you believe that Love is a selfish emotion?

Well defined thumbs up

Do you believe that Love is a selfish emotion?

Apart from the (pretence) that goes on in the first few weeks of a new relationship, birds and animals do it too.... I think when you love someone you will find their awful jokes, funny, their imperfections, perfect... If you have found that special person then you will make every effort to grow the relationship otherwise they will feel unwanted and move on... hopefully they are feeling the same about you!

Do you believe that Love is a selfish emotion?

I bow to your wisdom BW hug

Do you believe that Love is a selfish emotion?

Apart from the love between a mother and child, there is no such thing as unconditional love. It is impossible for something to exist without attached conditions.

Do you believe that Love is a selfish emotion?

True, passionate love and companionate love!
Most start out with romantic love and it either grows
into a form of True love or it dies!

Do you believe that Love is a selfish emotion?

When you start out looking for a partner, you have already formed an image of that someone which is unique to everyone. You are drawn to a certain body type. A certain type of personality. A certain intellect. Smoker, druggie, drinker, obese may be out of the equation... you have done this before you even start. When you meet someone you fall for it is because they satisfies many parts of you and you feel happy and complete and that other person is feeling the same within them... selfish is a term used quiet loosely in my post!

Do you believe that Love is a selfish emotion?

Yes! Unconditional love for a child, you want to kill them (term of endearment) at times but you don’t!! Yes! There needs to be a lot of respect in relationships.. heart wings

Do you believe that Love is a selfish emotion?

Great description.... a romantic couple drunk on happiness. Both having their desires met. Yes! We carry too many fears as we get older. We should love with all our heart when we find that person that makes us feel insane!

Do you believe that Love is a selfish emotion?

You cannot love someone romantically and unconditionally..
Your life changes when you date someone so there has to be compromises!

Do you believe that Love is a selfish emotion?

It is never better to be loved than love.
True Love is reciprocal, it’s a two way relationship.
Nobody should settle for less!

Do you believe that Love is a selfish emotion?

I would be inclined to take the counsel of the Good Shrink laugh laugh

Do you believe that Love is a selfish emotion?

It is impossible to truly love another if you don’t love yourself and
all the goodness that lays within you!

Do you believe that Love is a selfish emotion?

That is what it means to you so that is what will make you happy!

Do you believe that Love is a selfish emotion?

You have started a religious sect with many wives blues devil

Do you believe that Love is a selfish emotion?

I believe that Love is a desire to make us completely perfect, our individual perfect. Almost elusive; most will say. You meet someone and fall in love because they are so perfect, even more than perfect, as far as we are concerned, they make us feel so happy and they complete us. So happy that we would do almost anything for them. It is human nature for us to portray the best of who we are when we first start dating and we often fall in love with that image “our hopeful concept”. Then after a few months we relax and the real us emerge! For instance, we might like our space and the other person wants our time. We may want to be wined and dined in the same style but going forward that would not be financially possible etc etc.... this can cause disappointment and one of the parties may feel rejected. Communication and give and take, at this point, can make two people completely whole...... but the reality is life happens and gets in the way, often the bickering because he won’t do nice things as often or control because she needs to fit into a certain mould...

RE: Stuff I'm rubbish at...

Nobody is good at everything.
We just have to be great at the things we are good at..
They are our gifts!

Do you believe that Love is a selfish emotion?

Agree that love means many things but for the purpose of this thread,
it is defined as romantic love....

Do you believe that Love is a selfish emotion?

Elaborate?

Do you believe that Love is a selfish emotion?

It may unconditional if it fits our conditions! heart wings

Do you believe that Love is a selfish emotion?

Love is defined as an emotion of strong affection and personal attachment.

We love people who make us feel good about ourselves, makes us feel all fuzzy inside and that make us happy. So, just for our personal happiness and the feelings they instill in us, we love others. If they don’t fulfill our desires we will become upset and we start to think, “if only they ........ “ or we subtly try to change the other person to fit our desires, failing that, we move on... selfish isn’t all bad, it is fear which kills love!

RE: A Song That Tells A Good Story

You're Beautiful
James Blunt

My life is brilliant

My life is brilliant
My love is pure
I saw an angel
Of that I'm sure
She smiled at me on the subway
She was with another man
But I won't lose no sleep on that
'Cause I've got a plan
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You're beautiful, it's true
I saw your face in a crowded place
And I don't know what to do
'Cause I'll never be with you
Yes, she caught my eye
As we walked on by
She could see from my face that I was
Flyin' high
And I don't think that I'll see her again
But we shared a moment that will last till the end
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You're beautiful, it's true
I saw your face in a crowded place
And I don't know what to do
'Cause I'll never be with you
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You're beautiful, it's true
There must be an angel with a smile on her face
When she thought up that I should be with you
But it's time to face the truth
I will never be with you
