I read somewhere that Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, and the romance in a relationship and find out you still care for that person. This fits with my understanding of love... and therefore says that you an love more than one person at a time :)
what if u started out with caring and gradually built up the feeling and romance.... what if you are just so used to each other that even though you can't stand each other's comapny, you can't think of staying apart... what if seeing tears in someone's eyes makes you want to kill yourself for being the cause of them... i think that love encompasses all feeling... you add them all up and the result is love... be it anger, hate, passion, compassion, tenderness, caring. Everything blends well together, and they show their colours from time to time.
Love is like a kaleidoscope, with ever changing emotions swirling to form beautiful patterns of memories. And everything fits in, there is no piece out of place, no colour that seems bizzare, every feeling is reflected from the mirror of our hearts. Therefore, more the mirrors, better the pattern... :) ( i seem to be patronizing polygamy here)
All i'm trying to say is that love cannot be controlled... you cannot say that if i'm in love with one person that's it... because you have to have feelings connected with every person in your life... and as i just pointed out, love is but the summation of these.
You have to set priorities to make your life easier, but that's just about it...
love is omnipresent...

Well you can obviously love so many people at the same time...there's ur mom ur sis ur bro n so many nosy neighbours ur feelings are attached to....PRIORITY thats what it comes to when u talk of love in the partner sense....that one word usually puts an end to the confusion.
U missed out a very very important feeling in the midst of this all "jealousy"
Your post indicates that love is a self-contained harmony. Love is valuable not because it is educational (though it may be), not because it is recreative (though it may be), not because everyone enjoys it (for everybody does not), not even because it has to do with beauty or purity. It is valuable because it has to do with order and discipline, and creates little worlds of its own, posessing internal harmony, in the bosom of this disordered planet. Love encompasses us all, but seldom does it overcome us.
That, I think is what makes me endorse and swear by the impracticality of simpler times.
More I read more I like what you have to say and also the way you say it. This is one topic I don't know much about, but what I do know is what you wrote makes sense. Love can't be for one person. Love can't be just one thing. I am no poet, but a great poet Kahlil Gibran in his book The Prophet said this of love
When love beckons to you follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.
For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.
Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.
He threshes you to make you naked.
He sifts you to free you from your husks.
He grinds you to whiteness.
He kneads you until you are pliant;
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast.
All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart.
But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,
Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor,
Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.
Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love.
When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart," but rather, I am in the heart of God."
And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.
Supriya?? That kinda made my day!! :)
