I'm quite sure this has been done before but what the hay!

Is love when you see someone and its like hold me back?

Is it when your feeling vulnerable at work and someone says something on the money with exactly how your feeling at that moment?

Is it the chick flick rendition done countless times that mold a generation?

Is it someone that is capable of making all your friends envious?

Or is it something achieved over years of time, something that changes from lust to love, a mixture of lust and respect, someone under glass that isn't perfect but has undeniable qualities that keep you in aw?

Is it an illusion, an illusion that lasts a lifetime or an illusion that is short lived?

No, that's anger.

No, that's brown-nosing.

No, that's sociology.

No, that's a slave - TWO slaves, actually...

THERE ya' go!!!

It's an illusion only as long as you indulge yourself in it. That might be 100 seconds or 100 years...

Such Negativity Mr. Phil.....

Love has different meanings dependent on who you are talking about.....i'll assume your speaking on a perspective mate .....in this case, love takes time to develop.....a mix between attraction, respect, trust, admiration, comfort and anything else you seek for within somone.....

Romantic love as presented by Hollywood doesn't exist. A mutual caring and respect that builds over time is the real love.

I think love has much to do with expectation.

What you saw growing up plays a role.

You lived in a clean house because Mom was home, you expect your wife that works will do the same.....disillusion!

Your Mom doted on your dad but ignored you, you want what your dad had!

Your dad beat your mom but she stayed, your twisted views are she loved him so much nothing you can do will run her off if she loves you but she does. You feel short changed!

Your Dad was a rock, kicked butt and took names but your husband needs constant reassurance to make it through a day, you can't respect him.

Your dad drank and mom ran the show, men are weak!

I think generations change and cause conflict from one to the next.

Excellent!

And when you have no expectations, you also have no disappointments.

Artsy, I appreciate you, you are the voice of?
Conflict is cool in that it divides us and gives an appreciative result as to where we all stand as a whole.
Give us some insight into you? you can't stand outside the box forever!
