RE: On love and for loss

[nancybriti]

So you can see how difficult it is to talk about love, which strangely enough I am the first to comment on, when you always have thousands of comments. hahaha. I think you have the makings of a good writer and I'm sure a book written by you would be very well received, especially by your readers here. Maybe I am not the best one to talk about love, because I have only fallen in love twice in my life. And I have enjoyed it a lot! I feel that to love is to be naked in front of a stranger: you expose yourself to anything, from being loved, to being rejected. But like the famous quote: it is better to experience that vertigo, those infinite sensations for another person, than to be dry before the world. Once, a boy who loved me, but that I wanted as a friend, dedicated a poem of Ernesto Cardenal to me that always marked me and that says
When I lost you,
you and I have lost:

Me, because you were
what I loved most.

And you, because I was
the one who loved you the most.

But of the two of us,
you lose more than I do:

because I will be able
love others
as I loved you,

but you will not be loved,
as I loved you.

To love is to expose oneself to not being loved, however one must be grateful to live this feeling. Greetings and thanks, @tarazkp

Not of late -I think the commenting issues have driven people away :D

People seem to fear being rejected, so miss out on being loved.

gratitude is a big part of it - but how can one be grateful for the pain? I think that this is what people ask themselves, without recognizing the gift in it.

Thanks for stopping by, it was getting lonely here :)

I don't think it's driven people away so much as made it near impossible to comment with any sort of confidence.

I can tell you for a fact that I have written dozens of spectacular comments that have been swallowed by the hard fork.

Well, maybe not dozens. At least two "Nice Post" comments.

It is not that it drives people away, but it makes people think about commenting. The lack of "confidence" is an issue.

The other thing is the comment count - which takes away the indication that it might be an interesting post :D

jajaja. ;)Thank you for always bringing interesting and honest topics. Un abrazos

[tarazkp]

You are welcome. I find it more useful to talk about this stuff, than whatever random drama is on the news each day :)
