The Word Cloud

I have now studied contributions again and feel these personal views of Cloud friends have been more valuable to me than some of the books on the subject I have read. There is certainly much grist for the general writing mill above. Looking ...

So many responses already - thank you all. I intend to study each comment again later. This, I feel, is a subject worthy of even more musing. Over the years since the question was asked, I have read and thought about 'Love' in all its forms and ...

I think that Love might be God's trick for keeping the human race going. Without romantic love why would we ever agree to have children? And without love for our children how would we ever put up with them?

I'm going to disagree with myself in a minute - but I'd say yes. Love in its purest, perhaps simplest, form has always intrigued and inspired me. Beautiful beyond expression and fascinating as it is, I'm increasingly coming round to the notion that ...

I'm going to disagree. I know this is a miserable view and people will disagree, but love is something people do to guard against loneliness or to give themselves stability. How many times have people said, ‘I do love him, but...’ Is there a ...

I love shoes too much.

A most interesting question and definitely something to ponder. It seems to me that it is not possible to love someone - or something - too much. If one's love for something/someone is causing a problem, then it's not love. It might feel like ...

That's fascinating, Skylark. I think that what I was struggling to say and not quite getting there is that because true love is unconditional, it is hardly ever attained. All our responses are somewhere on a line between absolute selfishness and ...

I don't think you can love too much but you can love the wrong person too much. There's nothing more painful than loving someone more than anything and not having even a sliver returned in your direction. Or putting all the effort into a ...

Theres no such thing as too much love. Love is a wonderful thing but it's intensity can lead us down paths we never thought we would tread. Sometimes those paths lead to wonderful places sometimes not but overall Love can never be done to much.

Love too much? I don't think so. But love inappropriately (money, power, etc) most definitely. True love is unconditional, putting the loved one (or ones) first. And that makes the lover vulnerable. Which is OK, but you wouldn't believe it from the ...

Tony, what a wonderful lack of economy of words. I do agree though, of course you can't love too much!

This begs the question whether love is absolute. We either love or we don't love. Can there be varying amounts of love? Can someone be too pregnant? They either are or they aren't. We can like someone a little or a lot, but can we love someone a ...

The question in the title was one asked in therapy a long, long time ago; has popped into my mind this evening ~ and I am still not sure I have reacheda definitive answer.Is this an appropriate subject for a blog in a writing community, as we loom ...

Broom handle balance? Better not try that one, in view of my abyssmal record of falling from heights and breaking bones!! The head tucked under my arm would end up detached, I fear.
