"whatever Love Is."

[Theland]

Do you remember the reporter asking Prince Charles on the occasion of his engagement to Lady Diana Spencer, "Are you in love?"

And he replied, "Yes of course, whatever love is!"

So I don't think I have to nail this down with a specific question,
I'm sure you know the gist of it.

Comments please?

For me - feeling whole.

[Theland]

Married 46 years, six kids, nine grandchildren, and come to the conclusion that I love beer!

[ummmm]

I love lots of people but there are different types of love.

[vetuste_ennemi]

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends".

What do you make of that, Theland?

[Arksided]

Far removed from being in his fan club I do actually like that Charliie. When it comes to Diana we all know it were the Germans that done it.

[woofgang]

Are you asking about the Charkes/Di thing, or about what we thought of the comment or what?

[cupid04]

I think he wants to know what love is and wants you to tell him...

[Barmaid]

If we are talking about Charles and Diana I can't say if they loved each other.

However in some ways I understand what he said. I'm not sure it's possible to really describe true deep unconditional love because it's a very deep personal thing that you know when you find it but putting it into words is very hard because it is so all encompassing and profound. Some things are just indescribable.

//Some things are just indescribable//

Which is maybe why we have poetry, allegory and myth.

PS: innit? (Just in case PP's looking in)

[Arksided]

'm merely a little touched reading Barmaids post (So like me).. I can be an Angel,Vampire... etc but mostly fiendl.y

[vetuste_ennemi]

//mostly fiendly//

A walk on the Ark side, then.

Right now I can't say what love is, only what love was. Exquisitely painful overwhelming and filled with a different laughter. Closeness that allowed space, the knowledge that one person changed everything you thought you knew about people and yourself. A sense of strength and a whole new type of vulnerability.

Morning Theland!
Well .. let Mr Stewart sum it up perfectly for you!

[Jordyboy9]

Love is a many splendourd thing,it’s the April rose that only grows in the early spring,

[Jordyboy9]

Love is nature’s way of giving a reason to be living,the golden crown that makes a man a king.

[waterboatman]

There are many kinds of love. But I think you're referring to the the one that says to you. 'There she/he is, get on with it. Tell her/him how you feel.'

[Old_Geezer]

Love is wide-ranging and multifaceted, and so difficult to define. Not everyone agrees with any short description.

His statement was valid, if the occasion was a bit inappropriate.

[Tilly2]

He was lying.

[Theland]

He was cold, and embarrassed Diana.
I know and experience love daily.
