Interesting ideas here. Some seem to think that love makes one weaker or is seen as a weak emotion. I have always seen it as the opposite myself. Perhaps it is how each of us define love. I have seen that too many confuse love with weaker emotions like lust, desire, need. Sadly, too many marry with that delusion also. Several weeks ago my youngest sister surprised me with a statement. She said "So many people talk about unconditional love but I have only known one person that really knows what it means and actually does love unconditionally. That is you." Needless to say that statement really gave me cause to think. There are not many people in my life I can say that I love but those that I do, it is and has always been a constant regardless of whatever garbage the relationship has suffered. I can honestly say that if my ex where still alive, though being together is not an option, I still love her. On the flip side, there are many people I genuinely like, enjoy their company, would be sad if they disappeared, but I cannot say that I love them either. There are only a very small handful of people that I would be genuinely devasted if they were taken from me. Love is so weird to try and define. I also thought the phrase about married people and how they should already be "in love". I am married but I certainly cannot say I am "in love". Though my situation is pretty bizarre even by the standards of many CM members. If I am to ever had another submissive/slave I most definately have to love them. I am not tollerant enough of people to have someone that close to me and not love them, it wouldn't be worth the headaches. Do I need or want to be "in love"? I just don't know what those two words should be "in love" versus "love". If "in love" is defined ONLY by, need, lust, desire......then no, that's too weak and will not withstand the storms of life. The idea of being madly in love makes me think of teenage infatuation, full of insecurities and hormones.
