But more of an egalitarian respect.Sherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13797354221021200549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169597.post-1108634357212637752005-02-17T04:59:00.000-05:002005-02-17T04:59:00.000-05:00Love is indeed good when it's based on things like...Love is indeed good when it's based on things like friendship and shared passions. I think a lot of things get confused for love though.<br /><br />Love is not a tug of war. Nor is it that rush you get when you meet someone who you think is smarter, more handsome, or more courageous than yourself. Love is not admiration.<br /><br />Nor is tokenism or finding someone who will worship you. The problem with the word is that the concept is so badly misused that it is hardly worth discussing. But I agree that it is a beautiful reality in the pure form.Sherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13797354221021200549noreply@blogger.com
