Who do you love? Are you capable?

too bad there was no one to protect me. on Oprah there was one of the talk show hosts i cant remember who was talking about how every father in this country should tell their child, i am here to protect you and ensure that they would give their life to protect the well being of their children. that made me bawl to no end because i guess if u grew up fatherless, ur out in the world with no protection other than the one u can provide for ur self. and if ur a kid how much can that be really. he forgot to put into the equation that sometimes its that same father or father figure who harms their own child. sorry to whoever started this thread, i totally bogarted it. peace Hilder

I have a problem opening up to people to let them love me. But i am able to fall for them without them knowing.

Love to me is a big word and i only use it when i know its not going to hurt me.

Eveeryone i have ever loved has left me or treated me bad, so it's a touchy one for me

But i do have endless love for my sisters and brothers, and also my grandmothers.

Not sure if this is right or anything, but didn't the Ancient Greeks have different names for different kinds of love? like 1 word for the love for your family, your friends, your partner and for pets and that?...swear I read that sometime lol

Hmmm it appears that my definition of Agape was slightly mistranslated.. and the true definition is much more specific. Yet at the same time, much broader in scope... how interesting.
