on love
/imperfection/
@>---->---------

on an online message board regarding love and relationships, someone asked if love was flawed or imperfect.

Here is my over analytical response:
wow, this is a really interesting question to ponder.
i can probably go on thinking about it for days before
i can really articulate an answer that comes close to
something acceptable.

but i'll give it a try anyway...

people define love in so many ways. it can be a noun,
verb or adjective. and even within those categories
people still have endless definitions. but i'd rather not cop out by saying "it depends".

i think the most acceptable definition to me is that
love is simply a feeling. an emotion that is selfish
and giving at the same time. in it's most balanced form, love becomes the motivational core or source of energy for a nurturing interdependent relationship. however, love can only be perfect or flawless under specific circumstances. sort of like how perfect the sun is in relationship with the earth- not so close that it burns us, and not too far that we freeze to death.

i see love as a source of energy which can only be flawless for human relationships if the ones who feel it can also place it under the right circumstances.

it may only be flawless under the care of two autonomous people who can create a good balance between their love for themselves as much as their love for the other.

well ok... i gave it a shot.. heh.
