ahhh...

but Love is someting you give(or make),
not some thing you get.

it is a verb,not a noun,not a "thing".

ahhh...

but Love is someting you DO,
not some thing you "get".

it is a verb,not a noun.

the thought was worth two replies,
but take #2 was the more accurate.

but monsieur birddog -

old Niccolo himself was quoted on your blog
as saying (paraphrased):


"the world consists of tortured egos desperate to be loved."

i recall questioning the quote,
since Freud's psychoanalyitc work
wasn't available when old Nick was
writing his manifestoes.

and yet,Niccolo agrees:

the "tortured egos" imagine Love
to be something they lack,
and "need to get".

methinks that fellow from Nazareth may be
more misunderstood than i'd previously imagined.

i found the original NM quote posted on Maggie's Farm:

"The distinction between children and adults, while probably useful for some purposes, is at bottom a specious one, I feel. There are only individual egos, crazy for love."
