The Gable Faces East - Question #2

2- This book often reminded me of Romeo & Juliet because love can make people so hateful & so loving at the same time. What is it about love that brings out all the deep emotions like fear, passion, doubt, hate, etc?

    I think that when you open up yourself to feel real love, you also feel very vulnerable. You open up a part of yourself that is normally kept hidden, deep inside. When you feel that vulnerability, you tend to want to protect yourself - from being hurt or embarrassed. I think that is when you let fear, passion, doubt, hate, and many other emotions rule over your common sense - to protect yourself from being hurt if that love isn't returned.

    Wow mom - you are so wise. You almost sound like an English teacher or something! I love reading your comments cause I always agree with them. I too think that when you are vulnerable and allow yourself to feel anything completely you never know what other emotions you will tap into. I guess that makes sense that they call it head over heels.

    Honestly, I think that God put that powerful emotion in us to allow us to feel things so strongly and to be able to help each other. I agree too with mom and Kara. It is when we truly open ourselves up, completely, to someone that we feel that profound and deep love.

    I agree. I think that the more you trust someone the more you feel comfortable to express yourself and what you feel and what the person you love thinks matters more and more when you're really in love.

    This is an interesting thought to me because I'm not one to believe in changing your feelings once you really love someone - like having extreem hate instead of love. But, it all changes when the person you love doesn't respond in the way you are hoping or needing. I always want to protect myself before the problems ever have a chance of getting big enough to hurt me. It's hard to completely trust someone with your feelings.
