Upset

[Queen_of_Swords]

I forgot to color my text here it is, sorry about that, it's fixed for clarity.

So the love you gave doesn't matter?

Appears it does not. It didn't engender loyalty, or the willingness to stick by promises made.
I gave my love freely and joyfully not expecting too much in return. I didn't know I was to expect nothing.
I have always been taught and I guess you got taught too, what you give, you get. Another lie I guess.

Was it only worth what you got in return?

Looking back...no. I feel used. A sucker in life's game today. A foolish , foolish girl, and the shame of it all, is that innocent people will pay for my foolishness.

Sorry Scylla you just punched a hole in the fabric of life and I am going to invite you look to the other side if you care to.

So love means you give only if you get what you want in return?

Love begets love, so I've been taught. No you don't get what you want. You might get what you need. Might not too.

What does loving someone entitle you to?

Sitting here this morning with my eyes swollen and a box of tissues almost gone it appears that love is pretty pointless.
If you're lucky, you might get a return of your affection or regard.

Mainly, it serves a biological purpose. In that it was successful in my case.

Loving someone gets you nothing in return. It entitles you to nothing.

Being loved though...we all chase it, we all crave it, we all want to be loved. Paradox.

Without love, care and touch. We die, or seek our own destruction.
