Respect or Love?

[Sip]

"Respect more important than love?" ... sounds to me like someone's mom was trying to prep her for an arranged marriage to a "respectable" man. Just the values that probably were passed down to her from her parents.

Note that "arranged" doesn't mean "forced" ... it could just as well come with proper mental conditioning (such as shown by the topic of this thread) and brain washing over the years since birth into adulthood.

Well, you're right... perhaps you should come and teach me how to properly use them...

Love your mother and father, that is the most important, the rest is not important. Have dinner with them all your life, who cares about other people.

Yeah, screw your children and spouse.

Don't you always complain about your parents and say you want to move out because you hate living under their rule??

And enslave your grandparents!

Tres Bien, c'est tres bien!

hey what? arranged marriage ? I think my mom is the one of the people who hates arranged marriages... vice a versa, my friend, my mom didn't want me to get married soon, and til now she doesn't think that I should hurry... she got married because of love (and with huge respect as well), and I'll do the same... but this is not about man-woman relationship (repeting 5th or 6th time ), this is about usual people; friends, relatives, teachers etc.... I think at th biggining you need to read the previose pages, and my explenations... maybe in that case you would understand what this question is about...

im beginning to understand what LOVE actually means... it doesnt mean anything unles you have someone to give it a meaning.... the respect, the trust- its all trivial unless someone shows you how this all should be and gives you something to believe in and someone to trust... i think love is one of the most simplest yet complex notions in life...its just a huge anstract .... argh i hate how the word itself is thrown around so loosely-- "you think you know, but you have no idea" thats what comes to mind right now.... its all too confusing- we all may have a notion of love- but we will not have a full understandin of it until we have
1) loved and lost
2) been loved but not loved in return
or
3) done one of the two and then actually fell in love and are at the currrent state
i know this is not concrete- thats just what i think- itdoesnt aply to everyone and anyone- thats just what i think ~

My mom told me that "With the proper chromosome count, love and respect will follow!"

In my case, I have neither! Yet look at how happy I am!
