...angry people are not in love.

If I have a good mood, it is because I am in love. Seems to me that anyone who is genuinely in love gravitates to a good mood. Can't help it. That's the nature of love. I find that angry people are not in love. --Jim Broede

oh i would disagree with this. it is human to feel anger at times and even with a loved one. this is the dark side of passion. but then after the anger subsides...then you have much opportunity for making up. :>)

You do make a good point, Merelyme. But maybe I have in mind chronically angry people. They aren't in love. Otherwise, they wouldn't be chronically angry. Oh, lovers may have a dispute. A disagreement. But seems to me real lovers tend not to get angry with each other. Oh, they may get disappointed. Or even annoyed. But not angry per se. Except in rare instances. Some lovers may not be in love with each other all the time. The love may be rather conditional. And I'm not sure if that's true love. But hey, there's a lot about love that I don't understand. And may never understand. I'm spending a lifetime exploring this concept of love. And it may be impossible to ever fully understand it. Any more than I can understand god or forgiveness or foreverness. I think I came close to unconditional love for Jeanne. But if I'm honest about it, I always come up short of perfection. Maybe in the eyes of god, far, far short. --Jim Broede

what questions still linger in your mind about love?

one gets pissed off about something said or done, but mostly not angry to the point of not re-embracing love
