What Makes a Man What makes a man Like awake at night Doubting love What makes a man Sleep sound at night Taking love For granted ©2/17/14LGR |

I would venture to say there is a bit of foolishness consuming both of them. Could be wrong. ~*~ Life is simpler when you plow around the stump. ~*~ |

I prefer the word dichotomy to foolishness my friend. It is ironic Lori  |

You are a man, I don't think you got it "wrong". You probably know better than I do. I just thought that sounded rather harsh and judgemental and I didn't mean to come across that way. Lori |

I've often looked at love that way. Damned if I do and damned if I don't. It's a catch-22 in some matrimonial circles. ...just bein' Bluesy |

Richy- better to be a work in progress than done and dead (or worse yet, stuck in a time warp) Thanks for your kind words. Lori |

Well, if that isn't the million dollar question I'll eat your hat. You know, that makes me think maybe the world isn't so much short on love as it is faith in it. |

Yup. I think Bruce has it right. ~*~ Life is simpler when you plow around the stump. ~*~ |

Though meaning well, questions answering questions aren't at all conclusive. Simple mood swings can make one feel loved...or not. They may also inhibit one from expressing love at a time when another is in need of hearing or feeling it. Some who harbor feelings of inferiority may require constant pump-ups and self-centered narcissists or sociopaths are next in line. I come in right about here. Dr. Bluesy can be heard on many of your local channels. ...just bein' Bluesy |

Dr. Bluesy- It all started when I was a child... LOL I don't need constant pumping up, I just need everyone to like me... LOL |
