Why Is Love Not A Feeling?

Dear Friend,

Here are the answers I thought of, to your questions:

1. Why is love hard to explain?

It is not taught well, not practiced well, and people are weak and people are different. So, everyone has a different opinion about it. But I think love is one thing alone; doing whatever you have to do to make someone’s life wonderful, for you and that person.

2. Why isn’t love a feeling?

It is a feeling, but it is more than a feeling. Saying love is only a feeling is like saying a sport is only a feeling; only the feeling of victory. Sports take practice, and so does love.

3. When someone says ‘I love you’ to a person, does it mean the same as when another person says it, or does everyone have his/her own meaning for ‘I love you’?

Saying ‘I love you’ is like saying ‘hello’. Some say ‘hello’ with warmth and committment, and some say ‘hello’ automatically, just to be polite. Some say ‘hello’ wanting to know how you are, and whether they can help, while some say ‘hello’ to talk to you, for their own purposes.

If people understand love is honesty, committment, sacrifice, joy, endurence, honor, and sharing everything, then they understand love. If they are missing one part of that recipe, they mean something else from someone who knows what love is.

Does this help?

Enio Moricone!

When we were whisked away in the galloping theme of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, I could feel the horse under me and the dust; the spray of dirt, and the smell of the desert air! I could see the blue sky, the racing terrain, and adventurers astride their stallions gripping the reins and gleaming revolvers; their ten gallons-shadowing thier rugged, confident, and grimacing faces! All the while I felt and heard the speeding clip-clop of hooves!

Alternately, his dramatic passages rocketed me into space, atop an imaginary rocket!

Amber and I both sat forward, quite often, clutching the opera glasses, and on the egde of our seatsㅡas if watching a big screen thriller! Moricone’s conducting was visually ‘bombastic’ and powerful, gracful and beautiful, controled and supernatural, silent and tranquil, like a gentle breeze!

The Mission and Cinema Paradiso themes were epic, heart-absconding, and tear-inspiring! We were filled with memories, visions, sadness, mirth, contemplation, adventure, nastalgia, jubilation!

The music was the sound of cheek-streams, waterfalls, cherrubs, and swashbucklers, clouds and thunder storms; sighs and graceful balledeering, herralds and whispers!

Next I want to see Yoko Kano, Kitaro, and John Williams?

Sincerely wishing you love, peace, and joy,

12 Hours to Stop Uganda’s Gay Death Penalty

Help, please, to stop two crimes of stupidity and cruelty against humanity:

Subject: 12 Hours to Stop Uganda’s Gay Death Penalty

Wow! 700,000 have signed already. We have just 12 hours before the bill is brought to the floor — let’s get to 1 million. Sign now and forward the email below!

Dear friends,

In 12 hours, Uganda could pass a law that imposes the death penalty for homosexuality. An international outcry shelved this bill last year — we urgently need to ramp up the pressure to press President Museveni to stand up for human rights and stop this brutal law. Sign below, and tell everyone:

Sign the petition!

In 12 hours, the Ugandan Parliament may vote on a brutal new law that carries the death penalty for homosexuality. Thousands of Ugandans could face execution — just for being gay.

We’ve helped stop this bill before, and we can do it again. After a massive global outcry last year, Ugandan President Museveni blocked the bill’s progress. But political unrest is mounting in Uganda, and religious extremists in Parliament are hoping confusion and violence in the streets will distract the international community from a second push to pass this hate-filled law. We can show them that the world is still watching. If we block the vote for two more days until Parliament closes, the bill will expire forever.

We have no time to lose. Almost half a million of us have already joined the call — let’s get to one million voices against Uganda’s gay death penalty in the next 12 hours
