A shack for the free discussion of all things "love."
“ Freedom and love go together. Love is not a reaction. If I love you because you love me, that is mere trade, a thing to be bought in the market; it is not love. To love is not to ask anything in return, not even to feel that you are giving something- and it is only such love that can know freedom. ”
J. Krishnamurti

Absolutely! The greatest duo of female singers in rock history.
Here are some of the lyrics to one great love building song:
LOVE SHACK
by the B-52's
If you see a faded sign by the side of the road that says
15 miles to the... Love Shack! Love Shack yeah
I'm headin' down the Atlanta highway,
lookin' for the love getaway
Heading for the love getaway, love getaway,
I got me a car, it's as big as a whale
and we're headin' on down
To the Love Shack
I got me a Chrysler, it seats about 20
So hurry up and bring your jukebox money
The Love Shack is a little old place
where we can get together
Love Shack baby, Love Shack bay-bee.
Love baby, that's where it's at,
Ooo love baby, that's where it's at
Sign says.. Woo... stay away fools,
'cause love rules at the Lo-o-ove Shack!
Well it's set way back in the middle of a field,
Just a funky old shack and I gotta get back
Glitter on the mattress
Glitter on the highway
Glitter on the front porch
Glitter on the hallway |

The success of love is in the loving - it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does not determine the value of what we have done.

| Quote from modal on 1/27/2008 at 6:58 PM: "Love sacrifices all things to bless the thing it loves."
EDWARD GEORGE BULWER-LYTTON
(modal has entered the love shack)
A story to go along with that quote:
There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she was blind. She
hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her.
She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her
boyfriend.
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she could see
everything. Including her boyfriend. Her boyfriend asked her, "Now that
you can see the world, will you marry me?" The girl was shocked when she saw
that her boyfriend was blind, too, and refused to marry him.
Her boyfriend walked away in tears and later wrote a letter to her
saying, "Just take good care of my eyes, Dear."

I don't know - they don't seem similar to me. Gift of the Magi was a two-way love affair, whereas in this story, the girl didn't do ANYTHING. |

which I guess is why I find it so depressing. The Gift of the Magi is uplifting. |
