I can't say one way or another, yet you do exhibit signs of that. And your history would certainly point towards that. A lot of your fears point to that as well.

Take a look through the book and see if anything "fits".

Do you mean "love" as a verb or a noun? The act or the feeling?

I'll echo what C.S. Lewis said about love and obligation:

“The promise, made when I am in love and because I am in love, to be true to the beloved as long as I live, commits me to being true even if I cease to be in love. A promise must be about things that I can do, about actions: no one can promise to go on feeling in a certain way. He might as well promise to never have a headache or always to feel hungry.”



I love C.S. Lewis....


Actually...

Both the noun AND the verb...

As much as I love C.S. , I would really like to hear YOUR words and thoughts on it...
