I had a big thought about love. The conclusion of my internal conference is that love si an unhealable disease. When you get it, you cannot be cured. You stay a healthy "carrier" of it (i don't now the exact word ; in french we say "porteur sain").
You can stay a long time without a symptome of your disease to the person you love. But a little difference in your environment is enough to start it.
And the bad in this disease is the fact that when you feel you are better (after a break) you may suddenly get into the deep hole. Just for a sentence.

The only remedy existing, i think, is to fall in love to another person. You change your disease to another.

What do you think about that ? What's your opinions, Hatrackers ?

Love is a poet's invention for the express purpose of facilitating the biological need to reproduce.

I have found a cold beer and a colder shower to be an excellent remedy. [Big Grin]

Oh, Choobak. [Group Hug]
Love is not a disease. Love can be the most beautiful part of your life. I really hope it becomes so for you.

The sucky thing about time is that you just have to sort of wait around while it does its thing.

Interestingly enough this is quite an old idea. People used to think that people madly in love were suffering from some kind of malady. They were "lovesick". The word "passion" (suffering), of course got applied too; to suffer from love of something or someone.

I don't agree, I'm just passing on my useless knowledge.

I'd like to appreciate that. And i appreciate the time when i believe in it. But All along my life, this "thing" have made me more bad than happyness. And my too analystic mind wonder if It's like a disease or not. In many criteria, it's possible. But i'm not sure. So i want some exterior view.

And love is so a tentation...

It dies eventually. I mean, wanting love doesn't, but....

I was obsessed with a particular person for a really long time. I didn't think I'd ever be able to get over her. And yet now I can think about her without caring, without a big empty hole in all of me. It's one of the most amazing things that has ever happened to me, that I recovered. But it is possible.
