For me, love means being comfortable with. What most call passionate " love " is really a desparate desire to make another fulfill a fantasy. The passion comes in one's intense efforts at keeping that fantasy a seeming possibility, despite mounting odds against its fruition. I don't believe it's possible to be completely indifferent to anything within one's proximity, since we are in a constant state of feeling. It may seem, relatively speaking, like indifference, if one is constantly weighing the positive feelings against the negative ones, and feeling sanguine about the bottom line. Anyway, I think I know what you mean. And, if what I suggest doesn't seem to contribute anything to you, I'm sure you'll just ignore it. For me, these distinctions are important. That doesn't make them meaningful to anyone else, obviously. love ~*~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
