Hi tigris, I liked "J"'s reply to you alot. I think that it summed up my feelings. I will just add to this some knowledge that I have heard used in sermons. Apparently there are three words for LOVE in Greek. The only one that I remember off the top of my head is AGGAPE, but there are two others. One means brotherly love, one is passionate love and one is an I'd-Do-Anything-For-You-Love. Love is a decision in many ways, of giving up ourselves for others, and that love comes from emotions of attraction, attachment, affection and caringness. All of this really to say that people who love each other do so because of emotional needs that they have which can only be filled by love. Adults who love each other also fill each other's emotional needs. This does not make their love imperfect. If anything, it makes the love more perfect. Not really sure if this is useful, but just thought I would chime in on it. Given my curent state of emotions over TJ, I'm definately thinking about love alot lately. You are not alone. Love, Ben |
