There is never a need for hate Caroline, and there's always a need for Love. And there is too much hate around and too few love. But that's definitely not because love is too often given. If it were more often given it would begin to grow, and soon surpass all the masses of hate in the world.

That was brilliantly put Philippe, you sir have a brilliant mind but sometimes there is a need to hate, when someone hates you for no reason.
Thanks.

And sometimes there is no need to give one love when another does not give love back.
Thank You and God Bless.

If you trade love for love, it is not much different from trading love for money.
If you return hate for hate, you damage yourself because hate becomes your property.

Well what about if there is too much love going around that it loses its meaning or value? I think we cherish love because it is a rarity but if it were spread more commonly people might grow tired or indifferent to it. A new type of rebellion would happen.

Imagine everyone being nice and respectful to each other. There would come a moment when the opposite, a rude comment would stick out and people would be in awe of it. Eventually it would become the new norm since it is rare.

No you give love to receive love not trade, love is not a bartering tool, it should be shared among equals.
thanks
And peace out.

I am not talking about trading or bartering. I am saying if everyone was expressing love more than now, going extreme and saying everyone is doing it. It would cheapen it, because it would be so common. I am saying the reason we put such a high value on love is because you don't see it very often. You see people being rude or mean or callus to others but when you see someone being respectful or polite it sticks out. I feel just the opposite would happen if things were reversed. If everyone was nice, considerate and thoughtful people would become complacent with seeing it. So when someone did something rude people would be awed by it. Perhaps it would become the new trendy thing to do.

Why go extreme, who said anything about extreme, pray tell;) It's a question of balance between the two, im not debating this thread anymore because I've said all of this in my previous posts go use the search forums button.
Thanks.
And it is now closed.

I guess If one expects love in return,,,then it probably isn't real love at all. Everyone expects love in return but,,,that expectation does make it conditional.
